I remember closely following the Czech Republic’s accession to @esa.int as a full member in 2008. At that time, I looked back at my home country, Slovakia, which hadn’t even started the process of joining.

Today, we conducted tests and upgrades at the Spacemanic ground station in Jablonec. Here’s how we captured the signal from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter orbiting the Moon.

Tonight, Superheavy and Starship are set to launch on their 8th integrated test flight. I must admit, for the first time, I won’t be watching. After Elon Musk’s recent actions and his outrageous statements over just the past two days, I simply cannot take joy in any success of his company.

V tento deň pred troma rokmi, keď sa začala vojna, som dúfal a spolu s niektorými ďalšími ľuďmi volal po rýchlej a jasnej reakcii – masívnej vojenskej pomoci Ukrajine, prípadne aj po zapojení EÚ a NATO do jej obrany, aby sme Rusku dali veľmi jasne najavo, kde je hranica.

This image of the California wildfires was captured on Jan 11, 18:53:56 UTC by the pink Veronika nanosatellite, designed, built & operated by Spacemanic.

Planned & downloaded via our ground station in Jablonec, Slovakia.

Even small satellites can do big things! 🚀

I have a feeling it will be worth tuning in to Veronika satellite transmissions these days 🎅 #CubeSat #AMSAT
