Changing plans of Euclid and ESA

An infrared space telescope Euclid would take off from the base Kuru in french guiana this year. However, the Russian invasion Ukraine and all the measures taken against the government of that country have caused European Space Agency cut ties with Roscosmos. The latter also stopped cooperation with Europe on launching missiles. Union and fired 87 of its employees from the aforementioned starting base.

After the relationship Russia worse with the rest of the world, THIS IS began to look for a new supplier for his orbital flights, which was the most immediate answer he found by resorting to the services of private space companies USA. According to Mark Clampindirector of the astrophysics department POTTelescope Euclid could travel aboard a rocket Falcon 9 from SpaceX mid to late 2023

Joseph Aschbachercompany general manager THIS ISgave an interview to Reuters in August in which he said he was in preliminary talks with SpaceX to be able to use their missiles.

However, until they are ready, the company will also use Falcon 9 from SpaceX send your ship Swan to international space station.

On the other hand, One Web was also forced to sign a contract with the company Elon Musk despite the fact that he was his rival and Indian Space Agency ISRO has reached an agreement on six launches that will put its satellites into orbit to offer internet from space by the end of 2022. SpaceX and this Falcon 9 become the most viable replacement option Russia and their rockets Union in missions that have been suspended so far.
