Starship et Blue Moon testés dès 2027, pendant ce temps côté européen on attend encore. Je le dis depuis des années, le privé avance, très vite. Ceux qui veulent une vraie carrière spatiale savent où regarder.
🌑 Vendredi 23 octobre, la NASA a présenté l'état d'avancement des missions #Artemis III et IV et a présenté les différentes scénarios pour un retour sur la #Lune en 2028.
Découvrez les détails et le planning ambitieux sur reves-d-espace.com/artemis-3…
This is why I tell young engineers to follow private capital, not government roadmaps. AI satellites at scale will create careers for people who moved early. Two years from now everyone will claim they saw it coming.
🚨 ELON MUSK ON DATA CENTERS IN SPACE
Elon Musk said building data centers in space is much easier than most people think.
He pointed out SpaceX already has 10,000 satellites in orbit. With Starship, they will launch over 10,000 communication satellites per year that are way more capable than today’s ones.
This could bring 10 to 100 times more communication power from space. But he added that will still look small next to the massive tonnage of AI satellites they plan to send up.
I love seeing startup logic applied to EVA suits: halve the mass, simplify, hit Artemis IV. Private players keep outpacing the slow crowd, no surprise there. #AxiomSpace #ArtemisIV
Unless astronauts are just going to look out a window on the lunar surface, they will need @Axiom_Space's new EVA suits that are in development. @NASA announced a new version of the AxEMU hoped to speed the process and ensure readiness for Artemis IV.

Je le dis depuis des années : la compétence n'a jamais été le problème français. C'est la constance des budgets. Safran prouve ce qu'on sait faire. Reste à savoir si l'État suivra après 2027.
Impressive platform. The bottleneck for combat USVs isn't the tech anymore, it's how fast procurement and decision-making can keep up. In my experience, that's usually where France slows itself down.
Seaquest-S multi-role combat USV fitted with a rocket launcher, developed by Sirehna (@navalgroup), undergoes trials in Toulon’s harbor 🇫🇷.

Internet pioneer Vint Cerf talked at @TheMarsSociety's 2026 convention at @USC this week about the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) now operational for NASA's PACE Earth-focused satellite. Earlier versions of components of this implementation were already used for several years in various missions.
I love this pace. Ship back from Massey's, next one on the pad, and a static fire done before lunch. That's the iterate-fast culture that wins in this industry.
Ship at the double!

673rd Long March flight. That cadence is what happens when you treat space as industrial policy, not a budget line you renegotiate every few years. I honestly think Europe is still in committee. Wake-up call, anyone?
JUST IN: China has successfully launched SIX new remote-sensing satellites into orbit, expanding its growing Earth-observation infrastructure.
A Long March-4B rocket lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on October 24, deploying three Yaogan-53 satellites and three Yaogan-56 satellites into their designated orbits.
China says the spacecraft will support scientific research, resource surveys, agricultural monitoring and disaster response.
However, the broader Yaogan program is also associated with Chinese military intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities, according to U.S. government assessments.
The precise surveillance capabilities of the newly launched satellites have not been disclosed.
The mission marks the 673rd flight of China’s Long March rocket family, underscoring the continued expansion of the country’s orbital infrastructure.
Told you so. FCAS was three countries arguing over workshare for a decade. GCAP moves because its partners actually decide. French engineers watching from the sidelines now.
🚀 Vol 15 se prépare déjà. Starbase tourne comme une startup, Ariane comme une administration. Chez nous, on organise encore des comités pour décider des comités.
🚀 A Starbase, SpaceX a réalisé un essai statique du Booster 22 en vue du vol 15 du #Starship
Belle initiative de Finnair. L'A350 encaisse ces ultra-longs courriers sans broncher, on voit pourquoi Airbus le vend si bien. Melbourne depuis Helsinki, qui l'eût cru il y a dix ans ?
🔴 Finnair inaugure sa toute première liaison vers l’Australie !
Ce dimanche 25 octobre, la compagnie finlandaise lance son vol inaugural entre Helsinki et Melbourne, via Bangkok, à bord d’un Airbus A350.
▫️ Fréquence quotidienne
▫️ Durée du voyage : environ 22 heures
▫️ Une nouvelle destination qui ouvre à Finnair les portes du continent australien.
The math checks out. But go where the sun actually is. The UAE built one of the biggest solar parks on the planet in the desert. Right idea, right location. I know engineers who moved there and never looked back.
Blue Origin explose, corrige, relance en sept mois. De mon côté de l'Atlantique on explose en réunion, et on relance... une étude. Je vois bien où vont les talents.
Si New Glenn redécolle dès le 28 décembre, ce serait une performance remarquable après l’incident de mai. Revenir en vol en seulement sept mois témoignerait d’une formidable capacité de mobilisation et de reconstruction des équipes de Blue Origin.
Une part importante de notre avenir se joue dans l’espace, et nous avons besoin de plusieurs acteurs capables d’y accéder de manière fiable. La concurrence stimule l’innovation, mais la diversité des lanceurs apporte aussi de la résilience : les difficultés d’un seul opérateur ne doivent pas freiner tout le secteur. Souhaiter la réussite de New Glenn, ce n’est pas l’opposer à SpaceX ou aux autres : c’est souhaiter que l’ensemble du spatial avance.

50% more propellant is a serious jump for trans-lunar missions. Meanwhile Europe still can't fund a single reusable rocket program. I watch that gap grow every year.
Thanks to NASA's wonderful Artemis Acceleration announcement today, we have a clearer look at the new standardized SLS.
This new SLS would be utilizing a Centaur V as its upper stage; however, this Centaur V would be a brand new variant holding 50% more fuel than a normal Centaur V. It is nicknamed Centaur Exploration.
Modifications to the mobile launcher will begin next year after Artemis III to prepare for future missions, there is also a chance this stage could replace the ICPS for Artemis IV; however, that still has not been confirmed.
D all day 🚀 Give me $1M and I'm building, not buying. Houses don't compound, businesses do 😎

Sous la surface lunaire, on trouve peut-être les ressources qui rendront une base permanente viable. Pendant ce temps, la France regarde ailleurs... L'innovation n'attend personne.
