Rhetorical language and bold declarations 📣 are inspiring, but when it comes to securing #Europe’s 🇪🇺 place in the global #SpaceRace, adopted policy and appropriated funding 💶 are where aspirations are tested. Without concrete investments, streamlined regulations, and clear strategic priorities, Europe’s ambition to once again lead the global launch market is likely to amount to little. europeanspaceflight.com/eu-com

European Spaceflight · EU Commission Calls for Faster Progress on Launcher DevelopmentEurope must accelerate its work of launchers, says European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, stressing the need for bold decisions, policy action, and increased funding.

More research for the new book: a CIA report on Gorodomlya Island, where the German rocket scientists obtained by the Soviets were interned for several years after the war. They worked on various projects for what would become OKB-1 and Valentin Glushko's OKB 456, though this was largely dead-ended by indigenous Soviet work.

Classified Secret from its creation in 1955 until it was released to the public in 2007.

A workmanlike pen-and-ink map of the rocket research facility on Gorodomlya. Too complex to describe completely, the basics nevertheless are: a roughly cruciform arrangement of roads, with a gate and security buildings at top, and a hint of the lake that enclosed the island. Workshops and barracks are in the southwest quadrant, while a few small buildings are in the southeast section. Very sketchy trees have been added showing that they covered the grounds. The image is keyed according to the text in the next three attached pictures.
The cover page and page 2 of the accompanying CIA report. The items are broken down by point, with a paragraph or so of description for each. Mastodon's "Detect Text" produced an absolute mess, so I'll cross my fingers that anyone needing the actual text read aloud has a better OCR tool to use.
Pages 3-4 of the report. Same caveat about the text as for the previous image, for which I apologize.
Pages 5-6. As with the other four report pages previous, I haven't been able to obtain a good copy of the text to include here.
