We're the students team of the University of Duisburg-Essen taking part in the BEXUS campaign 29

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

[En] Finally, the publication of our results from the BEXUS 29 flight is online! The article is now published by the journal Icarus. Many thanks to all who made this paper possible!

The motivation which made us build an experiment for BEXUS is now public on Nature Physics!
One step closer to reveal the mysteries of planet formation.

Step 1. Pour thousands of glass beads into a container.
Step 2. Shake vigorously.
Step 3. Fling more than 100 meters skyward.
Step 4. Science.

About 1 month ago: Launch of BEXUS 29
What an awesome campaign!

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Now that more than a week is over after coming back to Germany we proudly present the four most stunning pictures from Esrange. It was an awesome week which we won't forget in lifetime! Now we are busy to evaluate the data we've got above the clouds.

Here is the launch moment of yesterday morning. After almost 3,5h flight our Ballon landed in Finland and was recovered from the landing spot. By now we have our experiment already back. Let’s see what happened… https://t.co/uaf7ef9qgE

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

On day four the gondola with all the experiments passed the last tests, hanging on Hercules.
The launch time is determined for 06:00 tomorrow morning. So we will meet at 02:00 for last preparations 😴

Hercules got the gondola with our experiment. See you soon

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Third day on ESRANGE in Kiruna.
Right now we participating the interference test with our gondola neighbors @TANOS_BEXUS, @r2c2bx and shade.
Everything seems to work just fine. 👌🏻

[ARISE @ISS_ARISE]

Mal wieder etwas in eigener Sache: Das erste ARISE-Paper ist bei RSI @AIP_Publishing publiziert und gibt neben dem Experimentaufbau auch einen Überblick über die physikalischen Effekte in unseren Daten!

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

@ISS_ARISE @AIP_Publishing Another paper concearning our precursor-experiment is online. Check out some granular effects on the ISS!
Hopefully, the IROCS-experiment can help to explain some features.

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Right now we are doing our last tests for #BEXUS29
We check the functionality of our experiment at temperature and pressure as they will work during the flight.
So far everything works very well. 👏🏼

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

So today we connected our electronics to the lit of our pressure vessel and everything fits and sits where it belongs.

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

We've got a new animation of our experiment's procedure - the design is up to date! The prototype experiment is already running, now we are working hard to build our flight model. Only one month left to the Thermal-Vacuum-Test at ZARM.

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Today we reached the next milestone and passed the IPR. Again a big step to the flight in Kiruna! Thanks to Torsten for the constructive review and helpful suggestions.
Our prototype is nearly combat-ready!

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Our workshops did a good job! Our pressure vessel is absolutely airtight and can keep an overpressure of 2 bar without any problems 👍 What we designed on paper is now ready for reality!

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

Old versus new!
Development of a LAMA!

BEXUS CDR's at ESA ESTEC! Today we have lectures and sessions on environmental testing, interface/interference and "ask your expert" for the upcoming BEXUS 28/29 balloon experiments🎈 @DLR_de @RymdstyrelsenSE @ESA__Education @ZARM_de @SSC_Rockets

[IROCS @irocs_bexus]

We're at ESTEC! After our CDR talk yesterday, we're now having great discussions with other teams and experts #ESTEC #DLR #ESA #SNSA #SCIENCE
