The European Space Agency published its Week in images for 24-28 August 2026 on 28 August 2026, presenting a selection of photographs from its activities that week. The lead image shows the Ariane 6 rocket carrying the MTG-I2 satellite into orbit, and a further image shows the satellite in the gantry.
The gallery also covers instrument preparations for an airborne reentry observation campaign, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot wearing the EasyMotion-2 suit while exercising on the space station's T2 treadmill, and Adenot during EVA-98. Other images show the Dune du Pilat in France, the heat shield of the Draco capsule during testing, and a view described as striking star clusters and irregular clumps.
The page presents the collection as eight images in total.
