Some of our best questions this week came from our youngest visitors. 🚀 We welcomed Rainbow and Brownie units from Harwell to Open Cosmos. They built and launched their own rockets, explored how satellites see our planet, and met the engineers who make it happen. Interest in science and engineering often starts long before anyone mentions careers, and it can fade just as early if children never see themselves in it. Being part of that early spark matters to us, and our team loved every minute. Thank you to the leaders and volunteers at Harwell Rainbows and Brownies for bringing such brilliant, curious minds to Open Cosmos. 🌍 #WorldSpaceWeek #RocketRevolution #Girlguiding #STEM

What does a career in space actually look like? 🛰️ This week, students from UTC Oxfordshire and Didcot Girls' School spent time with our teams to find out. They met engineers, technicians and people across the business, saw the cleanroom where satellites come together, and heard how individuals from across our business found their way into the industry. Some of our team came through degrees. Others came through apprenticeships, technical training or entirely different careers first. The space sector needs all of them, but most young people only ever hear about one path. We want the next generation of space talent to look like the communities around us. That starts with showing up locally, being honest about the routes in, and making sure no one rules themselves out before they've had a look. Thank you to the students and staff at Didcot Girls' and UTC Oxfordshire for your energy and brilliant questions. 🚀 #WorldSpaceWeek #RocketRevolution #WomenInSpace #Careers

Tracking cryospheric dynamics requires high-fidelity, repeatable orbital intelligence. This True Colour image captures the Nuussuaq Peninsula in Greenland, acquired by the Open Cosmos Hyper-500 satellite constellation. With global temperatures repeatedly pushing record highs, polar monitoring is now paramount. Rising temperatures are accelerating melt across Greenland — driving sea level rise, destabilising ocean currents and reshaping atmospheric patterns worldwide. What you see here is only part of what Hyper-500 records. Its 32 narrow VNIR bands read the ice surface beyond a true-colour view: mapping spectral albedo, separating the light-absorbing dust, soot and glacier algae that darken the ice, detecting snow wetness through its near-infrared signature, and estimating the depth of supraglacial meltwater. At 5 m resolution, that turns a picture of the ice into a measurement of what is driving its melt. Repeat coverage across the OpenConstellation feeds these measurements into the albedo and melt models that climate assessment depends on - turning orbital observation into actionable climate intelligence. #EarthObservation #Hyper500 #OpenCosmos #OpenConstellation #SpaceTech #Greenland #ClimateIntelligence #RemoteSensing #Satellites

Europe’s space sovereignty will not be built by one country, one company or one system. It will depend on our ability to connect capabilities, collaborate across borders and turn ambition into action. That was at the heart of the inaugural Vaduz Space Dialogue 2026, hosted by the Liechtenstein Ministry for Home Affairs, Economy and Sport in cooperation with Open Cosmos, with the support of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI). The Dialogue brought together leaders from governments, European institutions and industry to explore how independently owned and governed satellite systems can work together to strengthen Europe’s secure connectivity, resilience and competitiveness. For Open Cosmos, this is also about what practical European cooperation can look like. Liechtenstein is developing its national space strategy and positioning itself as a reliable partner in Europe’s space ecosystem, with ambitions spanning secure connectivity, space data, industry and the development of its own national capabilities. Our partnership is one tangible example of that growing activity. By combining Liechtenstein’s strategic spectrum assets with Open Cosmos’ European manufacturing and satellite capabilities, we have an opportunity to help build infrastructure that can complement and connect with national, commercial and European systems, while allowing countries to retain control of their own assets and priorities. As our founder and CEO Rafel Jordá Siquier said in Vaduz: “Federation gives us a practical way to connect sovereign and commercial assets while allowing nations to retain control of their own capabilities and priorities.” The Vaduz Space Dialogue is intended to be the start of continued cooperation and we are incredibly proud to be part of it.   We are excited about what comes next for Liechtenstein and for a more sovereign, secure and resilient European space ecosystem. And we look forward to being a part of that journey. open-cosmos.com/news/liechte… Open Cosmos Founder and CEO, Rafel Jorda Siquier and Vice President, Institutional Partnerships, James Cemmell, join fellow participants of the Vaduz Space Dialogue at a reception at Vaduz Castle hosted by Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein.
