How can transatlantic collaboration strengthen space security? 🛰️🤝 In this episode of the @pssi_prague and SpaceWatch.Global mini-series, Dr. Emma Gatti interviews Deanna Ryals, Director of International Affairs at the US Space Force’s @USSF_SSC, about advancing…


A great week of coordination and engagement with alliance and partner nations, culminating in this conference. A small team achieving way beyond what our numbers would suggest 🚀 🌍 🛰️ ⁦@NATO_AIRCOM⁩ ⁦@NATO#NATOSpace ac.nato.int/archive/2024/n…


My favourite way to commute #UberBoat - off to be a student @KingsCollegeLon for the day 📚🤓 with @Nuclear_Balm showing me the ropes!

After a fabulous #DefenceSpace23 I’m now having my own #AustinPowers moment … 50 mins after leaving, the bus is still in the same alleyway trying to complete a 3 point turn - less than 100 m from the front door of the conference centre 😬


On my way to #DefenceSpace23 to take part in one of the panels. Looking forward to catching up with old @UKSpaceCmd colleagues and talking about #NATOSpace, diversity, and developing a skilled workforce 🚀🌎🛰️

#DefenceSpace23 is kicking off today 🚀 We’ll be discussing some of the biggest issues facing the UK space sector: Delivering #SpaceStrategyUK, innovation, diversity, and skills. Free of charge online access available here: airspacepower.com/conference/def…

Space is vital to our everyday lives and developing a highly skilled space workforce is critical to the UK's future prosperity and security. How can the space sector attract the best talent and what skills are needed? Only a week to go to #DefenceSpace23. bit.ly/44B5lCv

Just about sums up energy levels in the last weeks before Christmas leave …

Word of the day is 'dumfungled' (19th century): worn out, used up, and totally spent. See also 'depooperit' and 'forswunk'.



Looking forward to supporting #DefenceSpace23 and catching up with my @UKSpaceCmd colleagues 🚀🌍🛰️

We are proud to be a strategic media partner for the @UKSpaceCmd #DefenceSpace23 conference on 12 December. Focusing on the national space strategy delivery, attracting & retaining our space workforce to plans for unleashing the UK's space tech potential. ow.ly/jo9k50Qagzf

☀ We're expecting a coronal mass ejection to arrive at Earth later on Saturday or early on Sunday, bringing Moderate to Strong geomagnetic storms. Depending on cloud cover, there's a good chance of visible auroras in northern areas of the UK later on Saturday night.


I’ve had worse office views for the week … #NATO academic conference ‘23 hosted by University of Bologna. Talking all things #Space, meeting Twitter/X legends in person and making more Space friends 🤓

If you're 23 or younger, you've never been alive when people weren't living in space. First crew docked to the @Space_Station 23 years ago today.

Fell in love with this beaut of a B-25J ‘Mitchell’ at #MaltaAirshow23 as part of the #FlyingBulls display team ✈️ 🇲🇹 the polish, the rivets, the noise … 🥰

Check out the @RoyalAirForce’s latest 60 second update. It was filmed at @RAFFylingdales, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last week. Fylingdales is the UK’s primary military space sensor. It can detect objects the size of a drinks can, up to 3000 miles into space 🌌

Episode 9 of the RAF 60 Second Update explores Exercise Baana in Finland 🇫🇮, 60 years of @RAFFylingdales, who graduated from No. 1 Flying Training School 🚁, and how we remembered the Few in the Battle of Britain Service at @wabbey



Very lucky to have been included in some #RAF commemorations in #Malta this weekend - including a memorial service for ACM Sir Keith Park from his involvement in the Battle of Malta. A part of RAF history I hadn’t known much about but an incredible story #PerArdua 🇲🇹

#MaltaAirshow23 - a first for me but what a great airshow! Incredible setting over the coast of Malta - the Reds did good and #SoloTurk was amazing ✈️ 🌞

Happy Birthday @RAFFylingdales !

The team at @RAFFylingdales are celebrating their 60th anniversary today. Since Fylingdales was established in 1963, orbital congestion and space debris have grown rapidly. Fylingdales routinely conducts 10,000-12,000 tracks of objects in Low Earth Orbit every day.

Just went outside to watch 10 Earthlings soar weightlessly overhead at Mach 25. Feeling wistful and proud. @Space_Station
