Poland is getting its ESA centre. Warsaw will host a facility for civil security, satellite communications and crisis response, with pre-operational activities starting in 2027. A major opportunity for Poland’s space sector – and for Silesia’s growing ambitions. #ESA #SpaceTech

We recently completed project workshops with HANDEN Sp. z o.o., focused on requirements and technical frameworks for a new Business Customer & Billing System. A great collaboration with the HANDEN team – and feedback we truly value. #EnergySector #BillingSystem #CustomSoftware

Clean room work is more than coveralls and filtered air. In payload preparation, contamination control, entry rules, and tool handling become part of mission readiness. Read: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: ESA-CNES-ARIANESPACE/Optique vidéo du CSG–S. Martin

Krzysztof Gąsior, CEO of Iterative Engineering, talks about geospatial data, satellite orthoimagery, and custom software for renewables, biogas, green infrastructure, and industrial planning. #Geospatial #Renewables #Software

Payload preparations, post 5: the airlock. At CSG, nobody walks straight into a clean room. The airlock controls how people, equipment and payloads move between zones. Full article: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: ESA #SpaceportOperations #LaunchCampaign

Iterative Engineering CTO Paweł Grzywocz showed a different side of engineering tools: maps, GIS, 3D visualisation, and data work used to tell the story of Giszowiec. Technology does not always look forward. Sometimes it helps us look back more clearly. Credit: Tomasz Pac

Before clean-room work, a payload stops in the Transit Hall: a reception and transfer area for unloading, protection, and controlled moves toward stricter zones. Article: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: © CNES/ESA/Arianespace-ArianeGroup/Optique Vidéo CSG/S Martin, 2025

At #EEC2026 in Katowice, one takeaway stood out: Europe’s challenge is turning plans into action. We looked at what this means for space, industrial cooperation, skills, and software as an operational layer. Full article: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/05/28/key… Photo: Tomasz Pac

Smaller than Ariane 6, but strategic: meet Vega-C, Europe’s launcher for science, EO & flexible orbit access. It shares P120C propulsion family with Ariane 6 and is back in focus with Smile/VV29. Article: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/01/16/pra… Credit: ESA–M. Pedoussaut #VegaC #EuropeanSpace

At CSG, payload prep begins at EPCU: where spacecraft, teams, infrastructure and safety procedures come together before transfer to the launcher. More: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: CNES / F. Lancelot; captions: Iterative Engineering / P. Grzywocz #SpaceportOperations

Iterative Engineering worked with France’s space ecosystem, delivering satellite campaign management tooling for CNES at the Guiana Space Centre. Now we’re looking for partners in space, geospatial/renewables & energy who need bespoke, sovereign software. #Space #Energy

Krzysztof Gąsior, CEO of Iterative Engineering, on custom software for space and aerospace: ground segments, launch campaigns, satellite systems, and critical operations. Recently, we supported CNES at the Guiana Space Centre with digital tooling. #SpaceTech #Aerospace

The road to Kourou begins before a payload container is opened. For spacecraft, transport is not just delivery. Teams review temperature, humidity, shock events and readiness for the next campaign phase. Full article: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: ESA–P. Muller

Why do golf balls have dimples? Because smoother isn’t always better. Dimples add boundary-layer turbulence, delay separation, shrink the wake and reduce drag. In oil&gas and HDD, optimization often means managing turbulence, not minimizing it. #OilAndGas #HDD #FluidDynamics

What is “the payload,” really? It may be one satellite, a dual-launch setup, a piggyback payload, or a dispenser carrying multiple spacecraft. That choice shapes the launch campaign. More: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/02/11/pay… Credit: ESA/CNES/Arianespace/Optique Vidéo du CSG - JM Guillon

Oil pricing isn’t one number. A Dubai project showed why: futures, cargoes, differentials, crack spreads & benchmarks interact as one risk system. Trade-by-trade visibility only goes so far. Real leverage starts at the portfolio level. Credit: Iterative Engineering #OilTrading

Hubble is a classic #EngineeringLessons story: launched in 1990 to sharpen our view of the universe, it soon needed “corrective vision” itself. A 2.2-micron mirror flaw blurred the images – until astronauts fixed it in 1993. In space, almost right is not enough. Credit: NASA

@SaxaVord_Space Great to see SaxaVord presented in a format that makes both the infrastructure and the location easier to understand. We recently spotlighted the spaceport in one of our posts here: blog.iterative.engineering/2026/01/16/pra…

When up and down trade places. Genesis crashed because parachute-deployment G-switch sensors were installed in the wrong orientation. In complex systems, present does not mean correct. #EngineeringLessons Credit: Courtesy @NASA/JPL-Caltech

When data lies, systems break. Another #EngineeringLessons case: at Buncefield, a failed level gauge and a backup that didn’t trigger turned routine tank filling into disaster. Small errors can become system-scale failures. Credit: Jan van der Wolf / Pexels
