Unboxing a satellite!

The @CopernicusEU Sentinel-1D spacecraft has arrived at the launch site and it has been taken out of its shipping container and put on its dolly.
This dolly holds the satellite in various positions, allowing the engineers to access different parts of the craft.

Cosmic wind of change

#XRISM makes an unexpected discovery: winds from neutron star discs are quite different from those around supermassive black holes.

The discovery could reshape our understanding of the most extreme environments in the Universe 👉 https://t.co/fJTLdkGmxq

Today it was a very special day for us at @esa ESRIN as we had the pleasure to host the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
He addressed the scientists and engineers and visited the establishment, including the Phi-experience, the  interactive EO centre.

Deployment confirmed for @jaxa_en's Cloud Profiling Radar instrument onboard @esa's #EarthCARE satellite!

As the news states:
" The full deployment of the Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer/Cloud Profiling Radar (EarthCARE/CPR*1) Antenna Main Reflector was confirmed by telemetry data of EarthCARE received at the Troll Satellite Station, Antarctica at 10:14 a.m. on May 30, 2024 (Japan Standard Time, JST)"

The soon-to-be launched @esa #EarthCARE satellite has FOUR instruments on board!

Let's have a look at one of them, the atmospheric lidar ☁️⬇️

⏲👀Rocket stages on the move. Two weeks ago the main stage for Europe's new rocket #Ariane6 left its @ArianeGroup assembly hall in Les Mureaux, France 🇫🇷 on the way to @EuropeSpacePort.
This timelapse of it getting out the door puts the size of the stage into perspective!

There is a good (and likely final) chance to see ERS-2 from central Europe at around 18:30 CET this evening.

Exactly where and when the satellite will be visible depends on your location and cloud cover. Use the links below to plan your observations.

ERS-2 spotted! 📸🛰️

The ESA satellite is on a tumbling descent that will lead to its atmospheric reentry and break up this week.

These images of ERS-2 were captured by @heospace for @spacegovuk using cameras on board other satellites.

Ciò impedisce alla galassia che circonda il buco nero di formare nuove stelle, fornendoci un’idea di come i buchi neri e le galassie co-evolvono.

The Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer, or EarthCARE for short, was developed to shed new light on the complex interactions between clouds, aerosols and radiation within the Earth’s atmosphere

🚀#Ariane6 first launch is now targeted between mid June and end of July 2024!

With the latest test complete, Ariane 6 has been through the essential rehearsals required for qualification. We have validated our models, increased our knowledge of operations and are now confident for our first launch period for Europe’s new heavy-lift launcher. A huge thank you for the dedication, expertise and hard work from all the teams involved who have often been working in shifts non-stop to get this far, we are looking forward to seeing Ariane 6 soar.

Vedo doppio? 🔭🔭Si. Questa immagine dal telescopio spaziale #Hubble di #NASA / #ESA mostra Abell 3192, inizialmente identificata come un singolo ammasso di galassie. Ora sappiamo che si tratta di 2 ammassi distanti miliardi di anni luce!

#EuclidChallenge 🔎 In Euclid’s view of the Horsehead Nebula, scientists hope to find many dim, Jupiter-mass planets in their celestial infancy such as the one highlighted in the second image.

Can you find its location in the bigger image?

Queste cinque immagini mostrano il pieno potenziale di #ESAEuclid. Mai prima d'ora un telescopio spaziale è stato in grado di realizzare immagini astronomiche così nitide di una zona così ampia di cielo, con uno sguardo così profondo sull'Universo lontano.
