This photo captures the spacecraft standing inside the special chamber. The shielded enclosure features conducting metal walls, floor, and ceiling that form a Faraday cage, screening out all external interference. Its 9 m-high interior is lined floor to ceiling with foam spikes that absorb electrical signals and sounds to mimic the void of space. </p> https://asksendai.com/post/2026/45/15/esa-releas/ Wed, 15 Jul 2026 21:45:08 +0000 https://asksendai.com/post/2026/45/15/esa-releas/ <figure><img src="https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2026/07/private_investment_in_space_ventures_worldwide/27372006-3-eng-GB/Private_investment_in_space_ventures_worldwide_article.jpg" alt="ESA releases 2026 Space Economy Report"> </figure> <p> The European Space Agency’s (ESA) newly released Space Economy Report gives a comprehensive overview of the latest developments shaping Europe's space sector.
