Wonderful to see our @EIRSAT1 mission highlighted as one of the @esa European Space Agency's annual highlights for 2024 (page 15). It certainly has been a highlight for us in @ucddublin and was made possible by Ireland's membership of ESA.

🚀 Exciting news from space: @EIRSAT1 has made it's first gamma-ray burst detections! 🎉

🛰️ EIRSAT-1 is Ireland’s first student-built satellite from @ucddublin, designed, built, and tested by talented students as part of @esa Fly Your Satellite! Programme. 🛰️

👩‍💻 This mini-satellite is packed with innovative payloads crafted from scratch by the students themselves.

🌟 One of these payloads is GMOD, a detector designed to study gamma-ray bursts, the most luminous explosions in the Universe. These bursts occur when a massive star dies or two stars collide, and they are of great interest to astronomers. ✨

EIRSAT-1 is making waves in the scientific community, congratulations to the team and everyone involved!  🥳

[UCD Research @UCD_Research]

🚀Scientists have uncovered how spaceflight profoundly alters the gut microbiome.

Published in @Nature_npj today, new research led by @ucddublin and @mcgillu, in collaboration with @NASA and an international consortium, offers the most detailed profile to date of how space travel impacts the gut microbes we carry into space.

Dr Jonathan Galazka @NASAAmes said, "These discoveries are an important piece in our understanding of how spaceflight impacts astronauts and will aid the design of safe and effective missions to Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars.”

The collaboration is part of the recent @NaturePortfolio package: The Second Space Age: Omics, Platforms and Medicine across Space Orbits - the largest coordinated release of space biology discoveries in history. The findings highlight Ireland's growing role in microbiome and space life sciences research and demonstrate how understanding biological adaptations to spaceflight can not only advance aerospace medicine but also have significant implications for health on Earth.

An exciting day for space in @ucddublin @UCD_Cspace @EIRSAT1 !

[UCD Research @UCD_Research]

🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🛰️🚀
A very exciting day for the space sector in Ireland as we welcome Minister @nealerichmond and our Scottish space counterparts to UCD to discuss #growingtogether and the lessons Ireland can take from the highly successful Scottish space sector.

Strong consensus this morning on:
· The vital role played by research in the Scottish space story
· How strong interconnectedness between academia, industry and government in Scotland has created a hugely productive environment
· The potential for this approach to be applied successfully in Ireland.

Great to partner with @UniStrathclyde and @scotgovIreland in this unique and hugely exciting event 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝
