Airbus has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Mexican Space Agency (AEM) and the Mexican start-up Dereum Labs to collaborate on the technologies needed for lunar resources extraction. This will lead to the creation of a new Mexican In-Situ Resources Utilisation (ISRU) Programme for lunar extraction and help develop the necessary industrial ecosystem for this technology in-country.

By the end of August 2021 and five years after its launch, more than 67,000 PerúSAT-1 images have been distributed to more than 500 Peruvian institutions, generating an important contribution to their work at national level. The information delivered by these images is vital for various sectors such as crop monitoring, disaster risk management, road monitoring, and security. It works together with other satellites that make up the Peruvian Satellite System.

New tasks for the artificial astronaut assistant CIMON-2: The AI-controlled, flying sphere will take on scientific experiments on board the International Space Station ISS with ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and provide educational services from orbit. CIMON-2 is already on board the ISS and Matthias Maurer is scheduled to launch with ‘Crew-3’ on his ‘Cosmic Kiss’ mission this autumn. The space agency DLR and Airbus have signed a mission contract to provide ‘in-orbit’ missions with four human partners.
The second Pléiades Neo satellite has delivered its first images! Discover this outstanding initial set of 30cm native resolution imagery of the picturesque Arcachon Bay area, France. Take a closer look at the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Banc d’Arguin nature reserve to the West. To the East, a dense pine forest stretches around the dune, creating an impressive contrast in colour between sand and forest. As a popular paragliding destination in Europe, paragliders use the optimal wind conditions and height of the dune to launch in the air and marvel at the views. Can you spot the paragliders in the imagery? Learn more about Pléiades Neo imagery: https://www.intelligence-airbusds.com/newsroom/news/pleiades-neo-first-images

With the next supply flight to the International Space Station (ISS), the Space Hub of the University of Zurich (UZH) and Airbus Defence and Space are bringing an experiment into space, which is intended to further advance the industrial production of human tissue in zero-gravity conditions. With this step, space could become a workshop for producing miniature human tissue for terrestrial use in research and medicine. Initial preparatory tests on the ISS 18 months ago were successful.
