@SpaceportBayern ... and then we have this #slomo video showing the #FlameTrench action during the first launch of our mini #FeNyx launcher with the test #CNyx capsule on top! Did my #ESASpaceCamp 2024 students do a good job building this flame trench? The did that, indeed!

... and there is another cool view from the first launch of the #FeNyx launcher from @SpaceportBayern with the #CNyx capsule on top - shot by a #drone, and showing the separate landing the of capsule! #STEMEd #ESA #ESASpaceCamp #minilaunchers 🚀 #Nyx #TheExplorationCompany

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

... and we are GO FOR LAUNCH!
Enjoy the uncut video of the first test launch of the new #FeNyx launcher with the #CNyx capsule, that separated nominally during the flight for a separate touchdown!

It's finally launch day at @SpaceportBayern ! We have the new #FeNyx launcher at the launch base topped with the very first #CNyx capsule for suborbital demo missions of my mini @ESA #astronauts!

... soon we will mount the new #CNyx #spaceship on top of the #FeNyx launcher, and prepare the system for the first test flight from @SpaceportBayern !
Will any of us mini #astronauts be on board?

We are proudly presenting our new launcher called #FeNyx that we have developed together with @RocketryKlima ! This launcher is our new #rocket for suborbital missions we will fly to inspire kids at @SpaceportBayern, #ESASpaceCamp ...

[MiniAstroAmelie @MiniAstroAmelie]

... diese #CNyx-Kapsel werden wir bald mit einer neuen #Rakete von @RocketryKlima für Tests starten, und dann beim #ESASpaceCamp der @ESA_de, dem Ferienfest auf dem @SpaceportBayern ...

🇩🇪 Willkommen zur Vorstellung unserer neuen #CNyx-Kapsel inspiriert von der #Nyx-Kapsel der #TheExplorationCompany für suborbitale Flüge von uns Mini-#Astronauten des #MoonDot-Programms. Wir werden in dieser Kapsel für #Kids starten, um sie für #Weltraum-Forschung zu begeistern !

🇩🇪 Die #Cygnus-#Rakete 🚀 (#ModellDesMonats Mai mit 20% Rabatt, Art.-Nr. 3219 bei https://t.co/i2hayvVVAZ) eignet sich nicht nur zum Fliegen von Eiern! Man kann auch andere Nutzlasten wie z.B. eine Kamera 📸 mitfliegen! Hier sind mal einige Eindrücke von so einem Testflug!

What a great day! We finished the construction of the 1st stage of our new @ESA launcher for suborbital inspirational #STEMEd launches 🚀! Woohoo!
And we had a great visitor: the fantastic mini ESA reserve #astronaut @Astro_SaraG from #Spain! Muchas gracias!

🇩🇪 Habt Ihr gestern die suborbitale @blueorigin-#NewShepard-Mission der 6 Damen gesehen?
Wir hätten da einen Bausatz einer kleinen #NewShepard-#Rakete für Euren Mini-Weltraumbahnhof: https://t.co/iEfU9iEygw

#OTD #8yrsago we saw another launch for the inspirational #MoonDot program:
A mini version of #Ariane6 - the new @ESA #launcher made by @ArianeGroup - launched a module to the international Lunar #Gateway in the alternate #MoonDot universe:

... we will inspect the landed XCV prototype now !
The very first impression is that all is fine.
Still hard to imagine that we will land with this XCV in the future. It has a backup chute, but well ...
We are saying goodbye for now. Many thanks for watching !

[Altaira @JrAstronautin]

... and the prototype of the European eXperimental Crew Vehicle XCV is returning after 108 minutes and one orbit back to @SpaceportBayern with one engine 🔥 burning ! Woohoo !

[Altaira @JrAstronautin]

... during the #ArianeHeavy liftoff phase we did a first experiment with a super slow motion camera !
🙀😱 That experiment did not #fail !
And more news: the XCV is about to re-enter soon !
Stay tuned for updates !

[Altaira @JrAstronautin]

... as we have first really stunning replays of the #ArianeHeavy test launch we have great news:
1st stage and 2nd stage (a modified #Ariane6 upper stage) performances were nominal, and XCV was released into a stable orbit !
