A lab with a view 🌍

📅 Columbus – 17 years on, this European science module continues to be an integral part of the International @Space_Station.

Despite the fact that @ASIM_Payload is still fully operational on @Space_Station it already reached Danish Technical Museum for an event with @Astro_Andreas. @Terma_Global was the prime contractor for the @esaspaceflight mission with @DTUtweet and partners.

[Human Spaceflight @esaspaceflight]

Good catch, @dominickmatthew ⚡️What do you think, @Astro_Andreas and @ASIM_Payload? 😉

[ASIM 🦋 @asim.dk @ASIM_Payload]

First sprite ground capture over Denmark. @ASIM_Payload is a Danish led @esa mission on @Space_Station. We're happy to see beautiful ground images of these fascinating upper atmosphere discharges.

@dominickmatthew Very nice capture ⚡Reach out to @Astro_Andreas. We already gave him good tips to capture these from @Space_Station. Or through us a DM and we will patch you through to the science team. Gonna cost you a snap of @ASIM_Payload on #Columbus EPF 😃

Super lucky a few weeks ago when shooting a timelapse of a lightning storm off the coast of South Africa. One of the frames in the timelapse had a red sprite. A rare event. My knowledge is pretty much just from Wikipedia but I want to know more.

I am so lucky to have captured such a picture of Gigantic Jets Lightning over Himalayan Mountains.
And it has now been published at #APOD of June 18.

I took them on the early morning of June 10, 2024.

Starliners approach to @Space_Station provided a great photo opportunity for the @esa #Columbus module with STP-H7 and @ASIM_Payload on the exposed platform. @ASIM_Payload has been observing electromagnetic discharges in the upper atmosphere since Apr. 2018 and is still going 💪

Thunderstorm observations from @Space_Station provide better data than satellites at higher orbits. Monitoring thunderstorms helps scientists evaluate their role in atmospheric dynamics and climate change. https://t.co/WNguwtR3sb

On April 15, 2024, the @ASIM_Payload was relocated to its original position on the Columbus module on board of the @Space_Station. 📸 We've got some exclusive post-relocation pics for you! 🌟

[Human Spaceflight @esaspaceflight]

⚡️ Back to its roots. The 'space storm hunter' ASIM moved to its original, preferred position on @esa's Columbus module today.

👀 The relocation will give the @ASIM_Payload a wider field of view to monitor high energy events in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Its science could improve our knowledge of dust storms, pollutants, forest fires and volcanoes. 🌋

🦾 The @csa_asc robotic arm was in charge of the move, under the guidance of the Belgian User Support and Operations Centre🇧🇪 @Busoc_official

[Human Spaceflight @esaspaceflight]

🅿️ ASIM gave up its vantage point on the International @Space_Station to other Earth observation experiments in 2022.

🔙 The @DTUSpace instrument that detects #lightning phenomena above the clouds reclaims now its original spot: https://t.co/Yf06O5IG9q

[BIRA-IASB @BIRA_IASB]

#ASIM, the instrument that detects #lightning phenomena above the clouds for @esa, will be relocated to its original position on the #ISS under the guidance of the Belgian User Support and Operations Centre 🇧🇪 @Busoc_official

Moving day for @ASIM_Payload. Follow now on @NASA Live Stream from @Space_Station:

[ASIM 🦋 @asim.dk @ASIM_Payload]

It is moving day. @ASIM_Payload is going back to it's original location on the @Space_Station's Columbus module. January 2022, @ASIM_Payload was temporarily moved out the way from the SDX to SDN location because of a new expirement, which has now completed.

Researchers monitor thunderstorms and its impacts on Earth’s atmosphere and climate. The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor could improve our knowledge of dust storms, pollutants, forest fires, and volcanoes. Discover more @Space_Station science: https://t.co/oZR31rFswe

Lightning goes both ways - down to strike the Earth and up towards space. Amazing photo of a red sprite above a storm, by @Astro_Andreas.
