Återhämtar mig efter en fantastisk kväll på @NASAKennedy, med bl.a. @matsperspektiv och @umutayildiz . På tiden vi tog oss hem tog @astro_marcus sig två varv runt jorden… #chalmers #Ax3

Jönköpingsbänken redo för uppskjutning… @mikaelastaaf @AndreasArvidss

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Now targeting Thursday, January 18 for launch of the Ax-3 mission to the @space_station. The additional time allows teams to complete pre-launch checkouts and data analysis on the vehicle → https://t.co/bJFjLCiTbK

[Marcus Wandt @astro_marcus]

Ready for launch.

I am immensely grateful and impressed by everyone who made this mission possible.

A special thanks to the Swedish government, the Swedish industry and the Swedish Armed Forces, who jointly and in a very determined way showed the importance of space exploration, the expansion of knowledge and the Swedish ambition to stay an innovative, knowledge based and progress leading nation.

I also want to thank the @esa for being bold and forward-thinking, and for paving the way with Sweden and @Axiom_Space to strengthen Europe's presence in space.

This is the first mission of its kind. It is remarkable the way that ESA and Axiom have been working together to make this mission reach a level of ambition that is far surpassing what I could hope.

I also want to send a big thank you to everyone involved in this mission at @nasa and @SpaceX for the welcoming atmosphere and excellent training getting us ready for our mission.

I Florida och bara några hundra meter från den raket som imorgon skall lyfta den första Chalmeristen @astro_marcus till ISS. Allt ser ut att gå enligt plan och jag räknar ner med spänning! 😃🚀

@landetannien Nä, hela den här hyllningen är lite skum…. det håller jag med om. Hur som helst verkar det ju ha varit en trevlig kusinträff på FHM häromåret… 😜

[Per B @einarper]

@AstroAndersJ So more or less than a quadrillion seconds (to make life even more confusing) 😜

Jag hoppas att ingen av parterna får äganderätten…. https://t.co/jt7VXnTwAC

I’ve really been looking forward to this #JWST image of a nearby protostar. An extremely young star, still gathering material from a surrounding cloud. https://t.co/JyzgqgCPBO

[Per B @einarper]

@pontoppi This is indeed a beautiful image! Cool!

@OHaggstrom Kan bristande Sverigevänlighet klassas som bristande vandel?

[Per B @einarper]

@maltesk Den var bra Robert! En lösning på namnkonflikten månne? 😃

[Per B @einarper]

Nu observerar vi med JWST! Fredagsnöje i kubik! 😃 https://t.co/QpZC6pIGu7

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

[Per B @einarper]

Tja, är det något teleskop man ska behöva vänta på de första bilderna ifrån, så är det väl Webb… 😜 #jwst

[Per B @einarper]

@OHaggstrom Det borde vara ett land… 😃

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Bonus image! When it’s time to focus, sometimes you need to take a good look at yourself.

This “selfie” taken by Webb of its primary mirror was not captured by an externally mounted engineering camera, but with a special lens within its NIRCam instrument. #UnfoldTheUniverse
