Honoured to host Charlotta Sund, CEO of @SwedishSpaceCorp, at ESA ESRIN today. SSC plays a key role in ESA’s EO missions, from ops to data. A great exchange on innovation, cooperation & the future of EO for climate and society. 🇪🇺🇸🇪

Six new commercial missions joined the Copernicus Contributing Missions family today at European Space Agency's #LPS25. From thermal to RF and hyperspectral, these EO New Space providers will boost Europe's capabilities for climate, security & sustainability.

Just signed a Strategic Partnership with JAXA at #LPS25 — strengthening European Space Agency /JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) cooperation on Earth observation for climate action. Together we’ll advance joint missions, open science & data for decision-makers worldwide. A global response needs global collaboration.
