Here are 10 highlights:

1. Europe’s rockets keep improving. Vega-C and Ariane 6 completed several successful launches, and our reusable Themis rocket demonstrator stood on the launch pad in Sweden. A major step toward cleaner, reusable European rockets.

2. We have imaged the Sun’s South Pole for the first time ever, thanks to our Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

3. Proba-3 created an artificial solar eclipse in space, revealing the Sun’s corona in new detail.

4. After more than ten years mapping the Milky Way, our Gaia spacecraft retired, but its next data release will support science for years.

5. Euclid revealed 26 million galaxies in just one week of observations.

6. Our astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski completed over 20 experiments on the ISS.

7. We improved planetary defence with the first images from the Flyeye telescope and a precise Mars flyby by the Hera mission.

8. We have launched many Earth-observation missions. Biomass launched to map carbon in forests and it is only one of the many Earth Observation missions we lunched.

9. Europe opened a new deep-space antenna, advanced navigation systems, supported aviation innovation, and grew its commercial space sector.

10. We closed the year with the largest budget ever from our Member States, starting a new chapter for Europe in space.
