27 August · orbit reboost completed

Cygnus XL raised the ISS orbit

NASA reports a 20-minute Cygnus XL engine burn that adjusted the station’s orbit. This establishes the manoeuvre, not a long-term station-performance outcome.

27 August · launch completed

ESA: MTG-I2 completes the first MTG satellite family

ESA reports that MTG-I2 launched on Ariane 6, separated from the launcher and established contact with the Malindi ground station. Operational availability of subsequent weather data needs a separate check.

· Astana / optional Baikonur programme

SPACE DAYS KAZAKHSTAN 2026

The dates and main venue have been announced. Price, Baikonur access, programme and participants need a fresh check before travel.

Editorial watch queue

What needs proof next.

Every item names a concrete proof requirement rather than a general promise to follow the topic.

SPACE DAYS KAZAKHSTAN 2026

Recheck the programme, price, Baikonur conditions and access before travel; after the forum, separate statements from documents and results.

ISS antenna, Cygnus XL and MTG-I2

Check the antenna’s ground-test outcome, Cygnus XL’s subsequent status, and the start of MTG-I2’s operational phase separately.
