I'm extremely proud: Exotrail has been selected to join La French Tech's 120 index 🎉🍾 !!   Why is this ranking important?   🏭 🛠 Because it is based on a set of concrete data to judge an innovative company's performance (financial criteria, Gender equality, sustainable development, etc.). So we're not dealing with the intangible, but with economic reality! This is, and must remain, our main concern: to succeed over the long term, to serve the needs of our customers all over the world, with a positive economic and social impact.   👩 👨 Because it casts the spotlight on all women and men of Exotrail, who work so hard, day after day, to build the ambition of Exotrail becoming the leading space mobility operator.   👨‍🚀 👨‍🚀 Because when I cofounded Exotrail in 2017 with my brothers in arms (David Henri, Paul Lascombes, Nicolas Heitz), I never could have imagined we would get there few years later. Our commitment has been immense from day one, and today is also recognition of all our efforts.   🛰 🚀 It's also because we're not alone in FT120 coming from the space scene, which is so important to us. The presence this year of Unseenlabs, and the years before of Loft Orbital and Kinéis, is a clear sign that space is an essential and strategic component of our economy. Beyond these few players, it's also the signature of a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem which is gradually maturing, and which is joined every week by new projects! Of course, this is only a first step, and the race is still far from over... But what a milestone! Special thanks to La French Tech team, and the French government for their unwavering support Clara Chappaz, Marina Ferrari, Bruno Le Maire, Gabriel Attal, Emmanuel Macron, Pascal Cagni, Thomas Courbe, Paul Midy, Philippe Baptiste. #LaFrenchTech #startup #space #entrepreneuriat

Ten years after its creation, the Science-based target initiative (SBTi) has validated the climate objectives of over 4,000 companies, establishing itself as a key label for climate commitment. However, on April 9th, this year, the organisation's Board of Trustees announced its intention to authorise the use of "Environmental Attribute Certificates", including carbon credits, to achieve scope 3 emissions reduction targets. This announcement has sparked indignation among many climate action players, insofar as it negates the SBTi’s raison d'être, tarnishes the credibility of companies that have complied with it, and dangerously delays the collective action needed for the ecological transition. That is why, the signatories of this letter and seasoned practitioners of SBTi standards, call on the organisation to abandon this development. https://lnkd.in/epvwvmUg

#MondayQuotivation💡 🤔 How are you and the YPSAT team feeling after seeing your satellite launch on the Ariane 6 and now in space?❓ 🗨 "I think it's hard to summarize how the team is feeling. From the weeks before launch until now, it has been an emotional rollercoaster with a mix of emotions. Seeing the #Ariane6 launching only meant that for many of us, the critical part of the mission had just begun, and the atmosphere in the Mission Control Room at #ESOC was a mix of joy and tension, as we knew it was in space, but we did not know all the details and even if our pictures and videos made it back to Earth. Having worked on the YPSat Project for close to two years myself, seeing our #satellite reaching orbit aboard the Ariane 6, being in the Mission Control Room at ESOC as we had contact with our ground stations… It was like a scene out of a Science Fiction movie. The moment when we saw the videos and pictures from space, we all screamed of joy, we got tears in our eyes, and we could hardly believe it was true. The YPSat mission has been a life-changing event for all of us, and we could not have been prouder of our little satellite." 💬 – Lasse Fredagsvik, YPSat Project Communications Lead and Main Coordinator of Young ESA #ESA #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Inspiration #QuoteOfTheDay #MotivationalMonday #SuccessQuotes

✨ Today In Tech #046 - June 24th 2024✨ 💡Topics💡 1️⃣ Space => French-Chinese Satellite SVOM Launches to Investigate Gamma-Ray Bursts and Unravel Universe Mysteries 2️⃣ Company & AI => Apple Partners with OpenAI for ChatGPT Integration in Siri, Explores Similar Deal with Meta 3️⃣ Company & AI => Meta Expands Availability of Llama-3-Powered AI Chatbot to All Users in India 1️⃣ Space => French-Chinese Satellite SVOM Launches to Investigate Gamma-Ray Bursts and Unravel Universe Mysteries 🛈 Source : https://lnkd.in/gA9UX7NY A French-Chinese satellite, the Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), has successfully launched on Saturday to search for the most powerful explosions in the universe. The satellite, developed by engineers from both countries, is carrying four instruments – two French and two Chinese – that will seek out gamma-ray bursts, which have traveled billions of light years to reach Earth. The 930-kilogram (2,050-pound) satellite took off aboard a Chinese Long March 2-C rocket from a space base in Xichang, in southwestern Sichuan province. Gamma-ray bursts generally occur after the explosion of huge stars or the fusion of compact stars. These extremely bright cosmic beams can give off a blast of energy equivalent to more than a billion billion suns. Observing them is like looking back in time, as the light from these objects takes a long time to reach us. The rays carry traces of the gas clouds and galaxies they pass through on their journey through space, valuable data for better understanding the history and evolution of the universe. The project stems from a partnership between the French and Chinese space agencies as well as other scientific and technical groups from both nations. Philippe Baptiste, CEO of France’s CNES space agency, told AFP after the launch. Space cooperation at this level between the West and China is fairly uncommon, especially since the United States banned all collaboration between NASA and Beijing in 2011. Once in orbit 625 kilometers (388 miles) above the Earth, the satellite will send its data back to observatories. The main challenge is that gamma-ray bursts are extremely brief, leaving scientists in a race against time to gather information. Once it detects a burst, SVOM will send an alert to a team on duty around the clock, who will have to rev up a network of telescopes on the ground to make more detailed observations.

Ariane 6: Europe’s New Rocket | European Space Agency FriendsofNASA.org | European Space Agency: "Ariane 6 is the newest rocket in a series that has, for five decades, been launching Europe towards the stars. Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European." "Guaranteeing Europe’s access to space for the next years, Ariane 6 in two versions, with either two or four boosters attached depending on the ‘oomph’ the mission requires. Versatile, its upper stage can reignite multiple times during a single flight, placing any spacecraft into any orbit—including constellations—saving a final boost to return and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. Modular, it will be continuously adapted to the needs of the future space sector." "Four organizations take care of the Ariane 6 program: The European Space Agency (ESA) at the head, ArianeGroup as the main contractor, CNES who designed and built the launchpad and ArianeSpace who sell the launches." "Thirteen countries contribute, thousands of Europeans have worked on it, and every one of us will benefit from the Earth observation, science, technologies and services it will make possible."
