Astronaut, pilot & engineer Samantha Cristoforetti: the first Italian woman in space, 2014. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀

She holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut & brewed the first espresso in space. #WomenInSTEM #Italy

📷 : Coolest #coffee break in history!
Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti inside the International Space Station (ISS), sipping fresh espresso from a special 3D-printed "Zero-G cup" designed to use the fluid's surface tension to let the astronauts sip from it rather than using a straw from a pouch. She has short dark hair, wears a red-and-black jacket over a purple shirt (a Star Trek uniform specifically for the occasion), and smiles softly while Earth’s blue horizon and swirling white clouds fill the huge circular window above her.

The Reusable Revolution

For the first 60 years of spaceflight, rockets were disposable. You used them once, and they fell into the ocean. Billions of pounds of engineering, burnt and gone. That's now changing. 🚀

Rockets like aircraft. Routine. Reliable. Repeatable.

🛰️ This #WorldSpaceWeek, Xavier Lobao from @esa.int  reminds us that #6G isn't defined yet: we have to invent it, using real assets in #space.

#i2CAT has a key role to play. 🚀

🚀 This #WorldSpaceWeek, we ask: should we make more space for space in science education?

This open-access article argues for the integration of space topics into the science curriculum to address skills gaps in the space sector and inspire students: https://ow.ly/ExPW50ZTp6s

この辺がちょっと悩ましい。確かに地球規模の気候変動などを観測する上では宇宙からのモニタリングは非常に有力なツールではあるけれど、最近の宇宙開発が覇権争いの様相が強まってしまっているのが…。

＞国連広報センターさん:
「🚀 10月4日から10日は
#世界宇宙週間（#worldspaceweek）です！

気候に関するさまざまな指標の観測から、
災害へのレジリエンス（強靭性）強化まで、
宇宙から得られるデータは、
#気候危機 への対応と地球環境の保護に
重要な役割を果たしています。

国連宇宙部 UNOOSA は、
より持続可能な未来の実現に向けて、
宇宙技術の活用に取り組んでいます。」 […]

Let's start with the basics. How does a rocket actually work? Because the answer is weirder and more elegant than most people expect. 🚀

Engineer, pilot & European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot is the first French woman to conduct a spacewalk, 47 days ago. #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀

The lead astronaut for the ESA Epsilon mission, which launched to the ISS in Feb 2026 & is scheduled to return to Earth this week. #WomenInSTEM #France
Split-image composition with two distinct photographs showcasing French engineer, military pilot, and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot (born 1982), the first French woman to conduct a spacewalk. The image highlights her historic role in modern space exploration during the 2026 Epsilon mission. In the top photograph, a formal studio portrait frames Adenot from the chest up against a deep blue background. She looks directly into the camera with a bright, welcoming smile. She wears a bulky white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit, which features a circular European Space Agency (ESA) patch on the center console and a prominent French tricolor flag patch on her left shoulder. The French national flag is also visible on the far left of the frame. The bottom photograph captures a candid, action-oriented moment inside the International Space Station's Cupola module. Adenot is positioned horizontally in the microgravity environment, her long brown hair floating upward toward the station ceiling. Smiling enthusiastically, she holds a large professional camera equipped with a long telephoto lens up to her eye, pointing it out through one of the large windows. The curved pane of the window reveals a spectacular, bright view of the Earth's blue surface and swirling white clouds against the blackness of space. The background is filled with the intricate mechanical interior of the station, including brackets, labels, switches, and support gear.

Engineer Vanessa Wyche is the 3rd woman & 1st Black woman to hold the post of Director of the Johnson Space Center (2021-).

She oversees >11,000 people & is responsible for the hub of America's human spaceflight activities from astronaut training to managing ISS ops.

#WorldSpaceWeek 🚀 #WomenInSTEM
A color photograph of Vanessa E. Wyche, the historic engineer and veteran NASA leader who became the first Black woman to direct NASA's Johnson Space Center in 2021. Standing confidently behind a sleek, modern lectern emblazoned with the iconic blue, white, and red NASA meatball logo, she is positioned slightly to the right of the frame, facing toward the upper left corner with a warm, optimistic expression and a gentle smile. She wears a structured, vibrant eggplant-colored dress or blazer set, a classic multi-strand white pearl necklace, small pearl earrings, and black-rimmed eyeglasses. Her dark, shoulder-length hair is styled in a sleek, side-swept bob with bangs. Her hands rest gracefully on the clear acrylic top of the gray-framed lectern, which supports a dual-microphone setup. The background is a soft-focus, dark gray wall with subtle blue geometric shapes, casting a professional and empowering mood.

October 4-10 is #WorldSpaceWeek 🚀

Posts all this week highlighting incredible women who have been/are a part of #space exploration and discovery.

A split-screen graphic celebrates World Space Week (October 4-10). On the left side, set against a solid white background, is the official World Space Week logo featuring a purple square overlapping a larger purple circle to create a stylized, geometric crescent shape in the center. Directly below the emblem, the text reads "World Space" in a bold charcoal-gray sans-serif font, followed immediately by "Week" in charcoal gray and "OCTOBER 4-10" in a lighter purple typeface. The right side features a portrait of American geologist and astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, set against a stark black background. She is captured from the chest up with her arms crossed, looking upward and off to the right with a thoughtful, proud expression. She wears rectangular black-rimmed eyeglasses, a small pearl necklace, a metallic bracelet, and a textured teal blazer featuring a circular silver planetary pin on the left lapel. Directly behind her, a giant glowing globe of Planet Earth serves as a background halo, vividly displaying the swirling white clouds and continents from orbit. The overall composition is inspiring and dignified, beautifully linking the official event branding with a legendary figure in human spaceflight.

The Night That Changed Everything

69 years ago tonight, humanity left Earth for the first time. Not with a person. With a beeping metal sphere the size of a beach ball. 🛸

It started with a beep. We haven't stopped since.

Welcome to World Space Week 2026. 🚀
