From Industrial Data to Space Launch Operations: Iterative Engineering at ESA & CSG Industry Days 2026
From the outside, the space industry can look like a closed circle. Yet, this autumn, Iterative Engineering had the privilege of stepping onto the stage at the European Space Agency (ESA) Headquarters in Paris to


CNES’s Secret Island: From Forgotten Ruins to Rocket Launches
After a long week at Guiana Space Centre, we board a boat in the port of Kourou. We are lucky, because the ocean is still and it’s not raining. From the locals we know that

Payload preparations at the Guiana Space Centre: what does preparing a satellite for the launch look like?
Before a satellite reaches the launch pad, it is built independently of the launch vehicle. The integration process begins in the preparatory infrastructure: in processing halls, airlocks, transfer corridors, security zones, and control rooms. In

From Shetland to the Azores: a practical guide to Europe’s new spaceports
The North Atlantic at night can be silent – just wind and waves. On a remote Norwegian island, under a thin ribbon of aurora, engineers close the last panels on a launch tower. Europe no

LaunchReady – On-Site Simulation
How we tested digital satellite campaign management, where every detail really matters When you want to know whether satellite campaign software really works, you have to test it where launch decisions are actually made. That’s


Behind the scenes at the European Spaceport: our visit to CSG
Welcome to the jungle! When you approach Kourou driving from the Cayenne airport, you immediately realise that you are in a very special place. The first thing you see are the hills surrounding the town,

How the United States built a launch system, not a single spaceport
Seen from Europe, American access to space still tends to come down to one picture: Florida, a countdown clock, a rocket climbing over the Atlantic. The picture is striking, but it no longer explains much.
