Mentioned as: European Space Agency (ESA)Narrative GeneralOct 2, 2025RT by @Cosmic_Penguin: I had the opportunity to have a walk around #IAC2025 to visit the @ESA Member State booths and meet with with space agency leaders and national industry representatives. As we work towards achieving all our goals at Ministerial Council in November #CM25, it’s clear that collaboration with industry will be essential. Together, with ESA Member States, national space agencies and industry, we can push the boundaries of space exploration and innovation for a stronger, more resilient Europe.
