Risks in space abound, but what really constitutes a threat? Great discussion here about how militaries think about this when there is a lot imperfect information. spacenews.com/how-should-eur…
Thanks again to @SpaceNews_Inc @SatNewsEvents @NirmaSuper for bringing this panel together.

#AITA or would it be more appropriate for the person sitting next to me on an A320 to floss her teeth at home rather than in the window seat while I am wedged next to her in the middle seat?
Astroscale has selected @isaraerospace to launch the ELSA-M In-Orbit Demonstration mission – a key step toward routine, scalable in-orbit servicing. 🚀
ELSA-M builds on our rendezvous and proximity operations expertise to enable safe removal of an end-of-life satellite.
The ELSA-M mission is supported by the @spacegovuk through the through the @esa ’s programme of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) as part of the Sunrise Partnership Project, a public-private partnership with @EutelsatGroup.

The Spanish space industry is going full throttle, with a justified sense of optimism and pride. Special thanks to @ICEX_ for convening a lively panel focused on international cooperation at @SSSIForum. ¡Vayamos juntos!
“Even if only a fraction of all the filed systems launch in the next 5-10 years, it will put a huge burden on LEO. But it also presents an opportunity to transform the way we manage fleets of satellites and move away from single-use operations.”

One of the most enjoyable podcasts I've done. We talk about tech all day long, but this was an opportunity to listen to great individual journeys and about some of the things that inspire them!
At @SpaceTechExpoEU, we joined @SpaceWatchGL for a podcast with some of the brilliant people in our supply chain: @RAL_Space_STFC @axoncable @HaloPR_
Covering a range of topics - from internships & international moves to what drives their work today.

So long SL, UT. So long @SmallSat. Looking forward to next year. #SatelliteEverywhere
One of my satcoms email newsletters led with this and it was the most enjoyable headline of all (looking at you @MSUAorg). Sitting in sultry London on July 4th, I tip my hat to Colin Hawkins because, “not having an ice cream man isn’t cool.” thenorthernlight.com/stories… @TNLreporter
