Immensely proud to be a part of this team.

Truely a childhood dream to work at mission control alongside such experienced spacecraft engineers & operators.

19 hours until launch of @ESA_JUICE.

#ESAJuice

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Back-to-back critical #operations over the next decade will make this possible.

We are GREEN for @ESA_JUICE launch🕹️✅

@KimKardashian @SecDuffyNASA @NASAArtemis @POTUS @ESA_JUICE, note to add Kim Kardashian to the distribution list for the 3I Atlas observation results.

@euacchq @esa Hera is a great example of a fast-paced and on-budget mission! 👏

The European space sector has a lot of potential to be exercised!

Wonderful to see the progress of the @GruyereSpace rocket hopper last week at Payerne Airport! Very impressive project and team 👏

Bar none, THE hardest rocket footage I have ever seen.

Normalize using FPV drones in aerospace.

@rfa_space Major issue on Monday; full breakdown of the event with great insight & multiple camera angles by Friday.

Fantastic communication, love to see it!

Best of luck going forward 🤞

⚠️How to follow @ESA_JUICE making the world's first lunar-Earth flyby. Stay tuned! 👇

[Tom Syndercombe @_Synders]

Three days until the 'LEGA' double flyby.
Eleven years since installing @KerbalSpaceP.

Let's hope something was learnt inbetween.

[ESA's Juice mission @ESA_JUICE]

🌕🛰️ On 19 August, #ESAJuice will fly past the Moon as part of a world-first lunar-Earth flyby.

At its closest approach, Juice will be just 700 km away from the Moon 👉 https://t.co/DV4BxMRVIx

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

Is it an asteroid? Is it a comet? No! It’s @ESA_JUICE! Juice was briefly mistaken for a new potentially hazardous asteroid as it races towards Earth for next week’s double flyby. Fortunately, experts have confirmed that Juice poses no risk to our planet😉

Wondering if, given the Zero Debris Charter, an Ariane 6 upper stage at 600km would require active removal...

If so, I wonder which launcher they'd use for the removal mission 🤔

#Ariane6

[Tom Syndercombe @_Synders]

A busy but fun summer ahead, with the @ESA_JUICE LEGA in August, directly followed by the @ESA_Hera launch in October! I'm also hoping to go outside at some point.

[ESA's Hera mission @ESA_Hera]

⏳🚀 The #HeraMission launch campaign is underway! The Hera team @esaoperations, seen here visiting the spacecraft, are now preparing for how they will take control of Hera moments after it soars into the sky: https://t.co/fEZjHg4y7Q

[Someone Named Tygget @Tygget]

For reference: 900 tons is over 2x the mass of the ISS and makes up around 5% of all mass launched to orbit since 1957.

[Space Koala @SpaceKoala]

This is the first photo I think I've ever seen that shows the Milky Way with the face of a person looking out of their spacecraft.

We live in an age of wonders

[Josef Aschbacher @AschbacherJosef]

Incredible! Congratulations to the Chinese National Space Agency on the remarkable success of Chang’e-6 mission thus far. It's a wonderful accomplishment that ESA is thankful and proud to have a part in by contributing the NILS (Negative Ions on Lunar Surface) instrument and by providing ground station ESTRACK network support.

Interesting discussions last week at SG[France] in Lyon. Was a pleasure to join the 'Sustainability of Space Operations' working group; another great @SGAC event!

[Tom Syndercombe @_Synders]

@wingod Good read.

"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor"

Hasn't fallen on my desk this time, but some very interesting corridor conversions. Certainly lost some margin...

Glad the wider community/public is being kept informed.

[ESA Operations @esaoperations]

The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury has experienced a technical issue that is preventing its thrusters from operating at full power.

Top spaceflight experts from ESA and its partners are working the problem, but the long-term impact on the mission is uncertain.

And a surprise appearance from @markmccaughrean!

5 minutes to launch - @esaoperations's Kourou Tracking Station is ready to support
