Ribbon is cut✂️We have expanded our site for satellite dispenser systems in Linköping 🇸🇪. Our dispensers safely release satellites 🛰️ into orbit, one by one. From Oct, we will be able to produce ~200 dispenser modules per year, doubling current capacity 👉

Tomorrow, two new European earth observation satellites 🌍 are set to lift-off from Europe's spaceport. For both satellites as well as launch vehicle we provided crucial components
FLEX and Sentinel-3C are ready for liftoff on Vega-C from Europe's Spaceport.
▶️ Tune in tonight on 15 September from 02:50 CEST.
🚀 Liftoff is scheduled for 03:21 CEST.
While the FLEX mission will monitor the health of Earth’s vegetation, Sentinel-3C, together with the two Sentinel-3 satellites already in orbit, will monitor oceans, land, ice and atmosphere for Copernicus, the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space Programme.

Our warmest congratulations to this historic launch 🚀A truly important step in Europe's broader sovereign access to space
We made history. On just our second flight, we became the first commercial space company from Europe to deliver satellites into orbit. Mission 'Onward and Upward' successfully lifted off and deployed payloads into orbit. A new chapter for European spaceflight. More: isaraerospace.com/press/hist…
What an amazing launch 🚀❤️ Safe travels to @NASARoman on its way to L2.
L2 is the second Lagrangian Point, located 1.5 million kilometres 'behind' the Earth as viewed from the Sun
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has officially launched and is heading to its forever home at L2!
Over the next three months, the observatory will perform final checks and power its instruments before revealing its first images by early 2027.

From the deep ocean 🌊 to deep space🛸: Our site in Finland has transitioned from the depths of the ocean to orbit. In the 1980s our site site took part in a deep-sea submarine project. Then, it shifted its focus entirely to space: interface and power electronics for satellites🛰️

Where satellites 🛰️ take shape: Our site in Zurich Seebach is home to ~200 skilled colleagues who work in production, engineering, assembly, and testing.
In Zurich, Switzerland, we produce satellite structures and mechanisms like solar array drive mechanisms

Final major test passed ✅ The Plato space 🔭 telescope, which is equipped with our satellite computer, is fit for space👇
The Plato mission will hunt for earth-like exoplanets. Launch of Plato is scheduled for March 2027 aboard Europe's Ariane 6 launch vehicle 🚀
Thanks to the tests run in the Maxwell Test Chamber, engineers verified that Plato’s many electronic systems can work together in space without interference 👉 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…

Looking forward to this launch 🚀😎 For both, the weather satellite and the Ariane 6 launcher, we provided key components
For example, our multi-layer insulation protects the @eumetsat MTG-Imager2 satellite🛰️from extreme orbital temperatures, 36000 km from Earth
📅 Save the date: August 27, 2026.
On August 27, Arianespace will launch MTG-I2 aboard Ariane 62 from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
Developed through the long-standing partnership between ESA and EUMETSAT, MTG-I2 is part of Europe's next-generation geostationary meteorological satellite system. It will provide enhanced imagery to support the early detection of rapidly developing severe storms, weather forecasting and climate monitoring.
Designated VA270, this mission will mark Ariane 6's fourth launch of the year and its first mission to geostationary transfer orbit.
Stay tuned as we prepare for launch.

Today, @ArianeGroup and Beyond Gravity signed a major contract for Europe's rocket Ariane 6. From our site in Emmen, we will supply 27 payload fairings for Europe's heavy launcher 👉beyondgravity.com/en/news/ar…
ALT The long-term supply contract was signed in France by Christophe Bruneau, CEO ArianeGroup and our CEO, Barbara Frei-Spreiter.
We are expanding our Austrian Berndorf site, doubling production area. From 2027, we will increase annual output of our 🛰️satellite thruster pointing mechanisms tenfold. Our contract with @Swissto12 is a major driver for this 👉beyondgravity.com/en/news/be…

Success for #Ariane6 and its latest launch, delivering 36 satellites for @Amazonleo into orbit. Congratulations to all partners involved in making this launch a success. We are proud that Beyond Gravity technologies were part of this achievement. 🛰️🚀
36 satellites. One precise deployment. 🚀Beyond Gravity’s dispenser system, developed in Linköping, Sweden, will deploy all 36 @Amazonleo satellites during the upcoming Ariane 6 mission. Precision in orbit starts here.
Don't miss watching the launch of Europe's strongest rocket so far (upgraded with four new booster motors) 🚀
#WatchLive | Ariane 6 #VA269
Join us on 17 June for the next Ariane 6 liftoff from Europe’s Spaceport, featuring upgraded P160C boosters and delivering 36 satellites for @Amazonleo’s constellation.
🕒 Liftoff: 12:53–13:22 BST, 13:53–14:22 CEST

This #Ariane6 payload fairing, built by Beyond Gravity, will soon protect the launcher’s largest payload to date: 36 @Amazonleo satellites. Proud to contribute with our fairing, dispenser system and thermal insulation.
It's getting hot. For the Ariane 6 main stage engine Vulcain 2.1, we provide the Thermal Protection Exhaust Lines and the Flexible Thermal Protection for the exhaust lines and base cover.
