Team of students of Cranfield University 🇬🇧, selected by ESA for the Drop Your Thesis! 2018 at the ZARM Drop Tower in Bremen

[Land3U @Land3U]

Our abstract has been accepted for the @IAC2019DC! We are very pleased for this opportunity to present the results of our drops 🚀🚀 #IAC2019 @iafastro #ESAeducation #CubeSat

Our 7 drops as we saw them, from the control room. We would like to thank the teams from @ZARM_de Drop Tower for their help during the campaign, along with @ESA__Education and @CranfieldUni for giving us the chance to participate in the Drop Your Thesis programme! #ZARM_DropTower

[Land3U @Land3U]

We are back to Bremen for two more drops!
We set up everything yesterday and we have a drop today and one tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that everything will be fine!

Today is the first day of Drop Your Thesis! 2018. The @Land3U student team is busy integrating their setup into @JAXA_en vacuum chamber at @ZARM_de Drop Tower in Bremen. Determining the coeficient of restitution of a cubesat landing on an asteroid is the aim - videos next week!

Breathtaking... just breathtaking, don't you think? Go MINERVA II1 rovers! You’re on your way to #Ryugu … and I'm next! #hayabusa2 #asteroidlanding

First test of the release mechanism! The goal was to study the ejection velocity as we want it between 100 and 200 mm/s during our experiment. We managed to have consistent results close to 150 mm/s so it is a success 🙌 #releasemechanism #test #dropyourthesis #experience

We have imaged asteroid Ryugu from 1500 km! We still cannot see discern the shape, but the asteroid is now very bright. https://t.co/qFwjIFjPfu

We received our 20 kg of soil samples 🙌

One of the main requirements of our project is to fit into the @JAXA_en vacuum chamber, so we designed everything with this in mind. This is the integration of our experiment into the chamber (small modifications are still needed) 🔜 Testing and building #dropyourthesis2018

[Land3U @Land3U]

We can’t wait to be there to present our work and discover the work of the others selected ! @iafastro #IAC2018

[Land3U @Land3U]

We are pleased to announce that Land3U has been selected to present at the @IAC2018 in Bremen, Germany this October where one month later we will be performing our experiment.
