It is a matter of time until the next asteroid ☄ hits our planet Earth 🌎 The European Hera spacecraft will perform a detailed post-impact survey of the world’s first test of asteroid deflection, performed by a NASA mission. Recently, European Space Agency - ESA Hera asteroid mission for planetary defense was placed back in its transport container for the latest phase in its test campaign. Launch is scheduled for October 🚀 We provided to Hera for example the spacecraft's solar wings and the Hera backbone.

Meet the Beyond Gravity Summer Associates in Decatur, USA. Cullen Rath, Cole Lenhart, Gabriel Campos , Constance Wang, Zach Hodgdon, Kyle Hughes and Ezekiel Kuntz. During their internship, the young talents will gain insights into space industry and work on various projects. Encouraging young talents is particularly important to us, as they are the foundation of our future achievements. We are delighted that they have decided to spend their summer with us. 🚀 😎

The next European weather satellite has successfully passed its environmental test campaign 👏 The Meteosat Third Generation Sounder satellite 🛰️ will also carry the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument to monitor air pollution. Beyond Gravity developed a highly accurate mechanical scanner for Sentinel-4. The scanner will allow for instance to detect emissions from ships 🚢 far from the coast. To learn more about the latest milestone of the satellite, visit the European Space Agency - ESA website 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpbWSER2 Image: MTG-S1 satellite in the anechoic chamber Image credit: IABG

The European Juice spacecraft (Jupiter Icy moons Explorer) will study Jupiter (the largest planet in our Solar System) and three of its icy moons. In about one month Juice will make a fly-by at Earth. This ‘braking’ manoeuvre will take the Juice spacecraft on a shortcut to Jupiter via Venus. The European Space Agency - ESA’s Juice spacecraft is controlled by our On Board Computer from our site in Gothenburg, Sweden. We also provided structures, an antenna and the thermal insulation for the Juice mission 👉 https://lnkd.in/d-W-72aH More about the fly-by: https://lnkd.in/db-6tHfY Image credit: ESA, ATG Medialab

Thanks to YPSAT, which was on board the first Ariane 6 rocket, we have this wonderful shot of the separation of the payload fairing, made by Beyond Gravity in Emmen, Switzerland. YPSAT stands for European Space Agency - ESA Young Professionals Satellite and provides the first images of the key phases of the flight. Impressive images from space and so cool to see our own products in action. 😍 🚀 ❤️

We are still overwhelmed by yesterday's maiden flight of Ariane 6. Beyond Gravity celebrates the successful maiden flight of Ariane 6 by supplying the European launcher manufacturer ArianeGroup with payload fairings, high-temperature insulation and mechanisms for the new rocket. All products were used on the successful maiden flight. What a huge success and an important milestone for the European space industry. 🚀 🛰

A moment that will go down in history. We congratulate our customer ArianeGroup and European Space Agency - ESA on the successful maiden flight of the next-generation rocket - Ariane 6. CEO André Wall had the opportunity to attend this unique experience in Kourou and be part of this milestone. Beyond Gravity supplied ArianeGroup with payload fairings, high-temperature insulation and mechanisms for the new rocket. All products were used on the successful maiden flight.

We are excited to announce the publication of our first #SustainabilityReport and our #NetZeroRoadmap, detailing our commitment to achieving a net zero footprint within our own operations by 2026 🍃 In 2023, our total annual greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 69’860 tons of CO2-eq, with the majority originating from our value chain. Emissions from our direct operations and purchased energy were about 1'239 tCO2-eq. Over the next three years, we will focus on reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are directly under our control. As part of our journey to net zero by 2026, we are also striving to reduce Scope 3 emissions through pilot project such as the new headquarters at Zurich Airport's "Circle" (primarily accessible by public transport) and supplier engagement to reduce carbon emissions within the Lithography division. André Wall, CEO Beyond Gravity says: “We aim to harness the power of space technology to address humanity's most pressing challenges. We strive to protect the Earth's environment, promote international cooperation and enable sustainable development to ensure a harmonious and secure future for all." 🌍 Check out our reports: 📄 Sustainability Report https://lnkd.in/eyTsQ-y7 📊 Roadmap to Net Zero https://lnkd.in/eTce2ms6 More about #ESG at Beyond Gravity: https://lnkd.in/eKv4aNfk
