Saturday’s sonic boom heard over Boston was due to an airbursting meteor, as confirmed by US weather satellite GOES-19. A European geostationary weather sat performs a comparable skywatch, read more here: esa.int/Space_Safety/F…
- ESA Technology repostedEverything you wanted to know about asteroids but were afraid to ask... ! Hera Principal Investigator Patrick Michel has a new book out on planetary defence & asteroids - in 🇫🇷 - odilejacob.fr/catalogue/scie…
- ESA Technology repostedCongratulations to @NASA's @MissionToPsyche for their spectacular Mars flyby. The images brought back memories of our visit last year - asteroid missions like Mars; its gravity comes in handy for modifying course!
- ESA Technology repostedThe international #HeraMission science community is meeting at Thessaloniki 🇬🇷 this week, preparing for Hera's arrival in 6 months time to the Dimorphos asteroid orbiting the larger Didymos, to see how it was transformed by the impact of @NASA's spacecraft back in 2022
- Dear bakers, the judges would like you to decontaminate a parachute that will land on Mars. 🪂🔴 On your marks, get set… bake! 1️⃣ Place your parachute into an oven 2️⃣ Set the oven to 125°C for ~50 hours 3️⃣ When the centre of the parachute reaches 125°C, continue to bake for
- ESA Technology reposted🌕 Electronics from moondust: a new ESA Discovery project led by the Danish Technological Institute is studying how lunar soil could be transformed into printable circuits, enabling in situ repair and manufacturing on the Moon.
- Congratulations, @esaspaceflight! 🌒🚀 Europe is proud to have enabled #Artemis II with the European Service Module (ESM) - delivering propulsion, power and life support for Orion and its crew. Built by European industry led by @AirbusSpace and monitored 24/7 by ESA teams, theReplying to @esaspaceflight @esa and 2 othersThanks for the shout-out @astro_reid! Safe travels from your European friends at @esa and @AirbusSpace 💞
