@tskelso.bsky.social Hello! I was wondering if you have any feeling for the likely timeline for the publication of the TLEs for the 14 January Transporter-12 mission (IDs in the 2025-009 series)? Many thanks!

💚🩵 Saviez-vous que les satellites peuvent observer les variations de la couleur de l’eau ? On s'en sert pour surveiller les océans (évolution du phytoplancton, qualité des eaux…) directement influencés par le changement climatique et les activités humaines.

My dear father (88) just had a bit of a clearout, and found my scrapbook from 1969! I'm so grateful to him for keeping it. The 8 year old, glued to the TV, led to my lifelong interest in #space, and my eventual career in the #SatCom sector. Thanks Dad! This 🧵 shares some of the stuff I saved...

JAXA Hayabusa2 cleanroom is crazy clean! It's a "class 1000", meaning that <1000 airborne ≥0.5 µm particles are permitted per cubic foot. The asteroid grains are in vacuum or nitrogen chambers. Regular paper sheds too much and the team must use tablets or special paper!

The rapid increase in satellites and space junk will make low Earth orbit unusable unless companies and countries cooperate, experts say.

Not that it really matters for a small organisation like RPC Telecom, but in order to prove our 'bona fides' I have just changed our Bluesky handle to @rpctelecom.com. It's quite easy to do, and I think it would be good if other organisations and companies in space and satellite Bluesky do the same.

Not an LEO topic, but just so cool. NASA has confirmed that one of its greatest ever missions, Voyager 1, is back in business with communications restored following an incident in October. Now 47 years old, Voyager 1 is 15.4 billion miles (24.9 billion kilometers) from Earth.
