and with the launch of @MissionToPsyche the 2023 of space exploration comes to an end... or wait! maybe not? as far as Google says, the IM-1 private lander (by @Int_Machines) towards the lunar South Pole is still planned in a month's time
New weather brief: Dropping probability of violating weather rules for @MissionToPsyche to 15%! so 85% chance of weather being OK. Keep your fingers crossed that ALL the other things go well!
the continuous technical problem of Russian modules will surely reassure the Chinese that are in the talks of Russian collaboration for their space station...
Sounds like #Nauka module got bored and initiated another round of problems to the ISS. I haven't heard the conversations, but according @SpaceflightNow astronauts reported a coolant leak from the module's radiator. Roscosmos stays silent at the moment.
@AuerSusan He created a whole narrative about spam bots being the only evil of the platform and spinning all improvements towards that. Pity that 1) nobody really believes him, and 2) content posted by actual people (appearing in priority because verified) is much worse than any bot
it's amazing how much this new twatter policy of removing the headlines has led me to just not opening almost any article: I just see a photo and move on because that's what I usually do with photos, it doesn't lead me to click on it.
after @ESA's Voyage 2050 and the American (multi)Decadal, and after the presentation of their more detailed plans up to 2030, here's China's long-term vision for space exploration, a methodical progression of increasingly challenging goals (look at the asteroids...)
Well, this is ambitious & far-sighted. China: 3 x Chang'e Moon landings this decade, Tianwen missions to NEA/comet, Mars samples & Jupiter (+TW-X...), planetary defense mission, future Moon & Mars research stations, plus heliosphere missions & exoplanet (likely Miyin) telescope.
@BigDogStar@ExploreCosmos_ 227 Β°C is a very normal temperature for planets
(what I meant is that TRAPPIST-1b has never been considered suitable for life anyway, so the measurement doesn't change anything from that point of view)
this is not a parody -and I'll leave it at that.
Everyone who actually loves science will know what to do at the next general election.
By the way, everyone (rightly so) focuses on the poster, but have you read the actual tweet?! It's even worse! #CPC23
Hoor AlMazmiβThe Emirates asteroid belt mission (MBR) will fly by 7 main belt asteroids, including rendezvousing with 269 Justitiaβthe 2nd reddest asteroid (perhaps originating from further out in the Solar System). #DPSEPSC2023
3 major human spaceflight reports in one week:
- Blue Origin may exit space station biz
- NG may exit space station biz
- Long term future of Starliner is shaky
Bummer of a week. Sucks to see these programs in limbo.
Rlly great reporting from @SciGuySpace@thesheetztweetz @wapodavenport
This infographic presented during the appearance of CNSA's Li Guoping at a heads of agencies plenary at #IAC2023 seems to suggest the Queqiao-2 relay satellite for the Chang'e-6 lunar sample return will launch around March 2024.
