We're excited to announce the delivery of the first datasets to the Mauve Science Programme, marking the start of scientific operations and a major milestone in our mission to increase the availability of space science data. 🛰️ bssl.space/blue-skies-s...

In June's member spotlight, Dr Emma Whelan from @maynoothuniversity.ie reflects on how Mauve's model and the opportunities to explore the dynamic nature of young stars excite her. 💫 Read the spotlight: bssl.space/mauve-member...

Chalmers University of Technology has joined the Mauve science programme! 🇸🇪 The team led by Professor Vlemmings will use Mauve data to investigate the origin of ultraviolet emission in evolved stars and its connection to mass loss, magnetic fields and stellar companions. bssl.space/chalmers-uni...

Mauve has been featured in a Results in Brief article from @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu, demonstrating that meaningful astronomy can be conducted using small, rapidly built, low-cost satellites. 📰 Read the article: cordis.europa.eu/article/id/4...

Dr Krisztián Vida of Konkoly Observatory, a member of the Mauve Science Programme, studies the magnetic activity and variability of cool stars. In this member spotlight, he discusses his research and how Mauve supports it: bssl.space/mauve-member...

Anusha Ravikumar is a PhD student at Western University studying massive emission-line stars and will use Mauve’s data to understand their behaviour. In this video, she discusses Mauve's benefits and her science case. Watch more: youtu.be/d7csGCxL5lk

Dr Alejandro Núñez of Columbia University studies how magnetic activity evolves in low-mass stars as they age, combining optical spectroscopy, X-ray observations and open cluster data to trace stellar activity. Mauve's UV data helps further this research. bssl.space/mauve-member...

We are thrilled to announce that Mauve has achieved ‘first light’, beginning a new era in astronomical data delivery from small, rapidly built space telescopes. 🛰️ Mauve was pointed at its first calibration target, eta UMa, a bright star in the constellation Ursa Major. 🌟

In our first member spotlight, Prof. Christopher M. Johns-Krull of Rice University shares how time-series spectroscopy and magnetic field measurements are reshaping our understanding of star formation and why Mauve’s data will open an exciting new chapter. bssl.space/mauve-member...

Our Chair and Co-founder, Prof. Jonathan Tennyson, talks to The Jodcast about the origins of Blue Skies Space, the ideas behind our innovative model, and what Mauve is set to achieve. Thank you to the Jodcast team for having us! 🎧 Listen to the episode: www.jodcast.net/archive/2026...

ICYMI: Our first satellite, Mauve, successfully launched on 28 November 2025. Mauve is designed to study stars in our galaxy and help understand how their activity influences the habitability of distant exoplanets. 🔗 bssl.space/blue-skies-s...

New Year, new account! 👋 Hey Bluesky! It's good to be here. Let's see where this goes.
