- Progress to launch February 9th to ISS
The replacement Soyuz follows ten days later.
- SpaceX’s Gwynne Shotwell dropped in at ESA’s Brussels conference this week
From the reporter: “Surely nothing more than idle curiosity.”
- Chinese satellite company with links in Luxembourg sanctioned by U.S. for providing Ukraine imagery to Russia
Utterly meaningless, as the company’s operations are almost all in China, it launches on Chinese rockets, and most important it is a Chinese pseudo-company, fundamentally supervised by the Chinese government. They certainly are not going to care about U.S. sanctions.
- Short animation of Venus’ atmosphere
No information is provided about the source of this imagery, so for all we know, it is entirely fabricated.
