Der kleine Weltraumbahnhof gleich um die Ecke - mit den Trägerraketen der ESA und denen für die ESA-Astronauten - ein wenig verkleinert - alles für die Kids!

During #ESASpaceCamp 2022 I had the privilege to lead a cool project: students developed & built mini versions of a potential European heavy launcher called #ArianeHeavy with up to 20 #Prometheus engines! This is the launch of model 1! 🚀
What do you think @ESA & @ArianeGroup?

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

🇩🇪 Habt Ihr etwa die 1. gemeinsame Mondlandung von @ESA_de & @NASA im #MoonDot-Universum verpasst?
Hier ist Chance #2. Los geht es mit den Raketenstarts von @NASA_SLS, @ulalaunch #Vulcan und @ESA/@ArianeGroup #Ariane6 mit dem @NASA_Orion-Ruamschiff: https://t.co/WA8K6g7rb9

... and finally, preparations begun to leave the Lunar surface. Our rover was parked at the crater rim.
And then we lifted off with our fabulous @MoonDotShip to fly to the Lunar #gateway @MoonDotStation: https://t.co/QZEodgPHyT

... we continued with more #MoonWalks with scientific purposes. Rocks were analyzed, and we even found water ice in the shadowed areas of the Lunar crater we had landed in: https://t.co/QZEodgPHyT

... and on Feb 2, 2022, we made history with the 1st Lunar landing in the #MoonDot universe! Our fabulous @MoonDotShip lander landed near the Lunar South pole, and we started soon after with our #MoonWalks: https://t.co/QZEodgPHyT

... finally, on January 29, we - #MoonDotShip #Crew1 - entered our @ESA-@NASA_Orion #spaceship on top of an @ESA launcher @Ariane6 made by @ArianeGroup - and launched towards the #Moon! Woohoo! 🚀

... our Lunar lander needed an additional boost to reach the #Moon! Thus, we ordered an @ulalaunch #VulcanCentaur! The @CentaurVstage docked with the lander and pushed it towards the #Moon! Thanks a lot @torybruno!

We will be back on Earth in 2 days!
Time to look back how our mission begun almost 1 month ago: our fabulous @ESA Lunar Lander #MoonDotShip was launched by a huge @NASA_SLS launcher: https://t.co/ifAFL9dmvj

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

... at the launch table you can see a #SpaceX #Falcon9 #CrewDragon model in 1:50 scale propelled by 9 motors! Liftoff weight is about 1 kg! #minilaunchers 🚀 #STEMeducation #STEAM #MissionAlpha #Crew2 #NASA #ESA #JAXA
