First article up for @NASASpaceflight 🚀 so excited to be writing for NSF more, and what a great topic to kick off with!
NSF sat down with JUICE program manager Giuseppe Sarri of ESA to discuss the spacecraft's launch and what comes next on its interplanetary mission to explore Jupiter and its three largest Moons. Debut article for NSF by Bella Richards (@bellaa_richards). Everything has been going to plan, although the team is monitoring a radar antenna that has yet to fully deploy.

This year, Farnborough looks a bit different for me, as I hold down the fort at our AirBnB instead of running around press conferences (being 7 months pregnant and all). But on the plus side, our place for the week has a flying display of its own ✈️ #FIA2024

Great analysis on what went wrong and what's next for Ariane 6. The APU is a new technology for the Ariane rocket, so hopefully the company can solve the issue for the next launch.
Despite an anomaly that occurred during the inaugural Ariane 6, Arianespace CEO Stephane Israel has said that the company is “perfectly on track now to make the second launch this year.”
