Yesterday, 50 Explorer Scouts were invited to the #Coronation at St. Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey. They were some of the first people to see the newly crowned King. We’re sure it’s a moment they’ll always remember!

Fairing reentry on the ViaSat-3 mission was the hottest and fastest we've ever attempted. The fairings re-entered the atmosphere greater than 15x the speed of sound, creating a large trail of plasma in its wake

The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder radio telescope comprises 36 radio dishes, each 12m diameter, giving it the ability to rapidly survey large volumes of the cosmos, detect distant galaxies, study black holes and fast radio bursts. Very cool 😎
