Our astronaut Luca Parmitano is assigned as pilot of NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission.

With Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test the critical operations preparing for humankind's return to the Moon.

A strong step forward for ESA–NASA partnership.

@rockysgrace Dont know about Gerst and Maurer, since it was said before that the german one would be the frist to fly to the moon.

(Also both are expected to be at the opening ceremony of ILA in Berlin next morning.)

@MChroniken Ich nehme auch gerne zwei europäische Anbieter die das machen können 😄 wir müssten halt nur was den Willen angeht Mal in Bewegung kommen.
Dann wären wir glaub der erste Raumfahrtblock der kein Monopol in dem Bereich hat. USA, Russland, China haben ja auch je nur eins ohne Orion

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@frankyh33734957 @ShuttleAlmanac @astro_luca @astro_birch Yes 😄

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@frankyh33734957 @ShuttleAlmanac @astro_luca @astro_birch Yeah but it was also said the first european to fly to the moon would be german, so i dont think a german will fly also on Artemis 3.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@MChroniken Ja die Vision dazu müsste vielleicht in der Politik in DE auch außerhalb vom BMFTR stattfinden, wie das in Österreich ist weiß ich nicht. Aber hey wie es scheint haben wir die gleichen Probleme was kürzen bei Unis angeht

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@AstraPublica @dpoddolphinpro @esa Because its just announced at the moment, Im sure if the missions get more detailed it will be with ESA. Like it was before when ESA resvere astronauts did fly commercial via Axiom to ISS.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@ShuttleAlmanac @Tomasz28984930 Idk, think more US only, but if european than probably french or italian. Since my last info was that the german will fly to/around/on (not clear if on) the Moon first.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@SpaceKoala Not only a precise launch, but also 1 of the 4 instruments and half of another instrument and general support. @ESA_Webb

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@Fexotic111 @FalkTG Weil es Kosten fürs Gesundheitssystem verursacht zum Beispiel, um einen Punkt zu nennen.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@AndrewParsonson Good that actions are being taken to ensure no further delays.

Is there anywhere the list of all 19 missions that are impacted, beside LISA, EnVision & NewAthena?

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@AndrewParsonson Seems like after Orbex and now here, bit of a clean up among european rocket startups shows up slowly. Guess thats normal when so many companies try in Europe and proably will get even more when some accomplished to get into market with working launch vehicle.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@TLVersteegh @peterrhague Think it could, but wasnt part of the deal with NASA.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@peterrhague Guess because its not only about the launch, but also the radioisotope heater units and braking engines for the lander. As a whole package provided by NASA now.

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@alfmagne @NASAMars @esa Because a flying drone (which is nice) cant drill up to 2m into the ground

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@ClassyCass87 @NASAMars @esa If you mean the rover itself, its allready named as part of ExoMars Rosalind Franklin by ESA

[Ray Hoffmann @hoffmann_ray]

@ThePrimalDino Most likely the vehicle(s) that are the outcome of the ESA Leo-Cargo-Return-Service programm.
At the moment those are just meant to be cargo crafts, but to be part of the programm they need to fulfill the option to be able to be switched to crew design.

[European Space Agency @esa]

Artemis II just took humankind farther than ever before. 🚀

Our European Service Module sent Orion around the Moon and safely back home, providing power, propulsion and life support for the crew.

Relive the mission with our highlights video.👇

@MichaelKurz_ @stromab @SBetschinger Eher nicht, denn bei Galileo sind wir teils sogar im Zentimeterbereich (20-40cm) und im allgemeinen bei ca. 1-2 m.
