The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a visual overview of its space projects and observations conducted between October 5 and 9, 2026.
Among the images shared are the integration and testing campaign of the Lunar Pathfinder in the United Kingdom, as well as the first observation of the Hera mission’s target, Didymos.
The images also feature the elongated Arsia Mons cloud captured by Mars Express, along with a view of Namibia’s Etosha National Park taken by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite in April 2026.
Photos additionally illustrate the integration of LandCam-X on the Griffin-1 lander and the three terminals of ESA’s UWB technology.
Finally, engineers are shown tracking a rover’s movements in a desert, while the Webb space telescope captures stellar jet activity within a nebula.
