Woohoo! 😱😅😇
How cool is that! I finally made it to the #Moon after all these years! Thank you for all the support @ESA, @NASA, @TheMarsGen, @AstronautAbby, ... !

The flyouts of the #ESASpaceCamp 2026 #RocketryChallenge are done! Woohoo!
P.S.: And no, I am not rooting for my favorite rocket in pic #3! 😍

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

Finally, we can report about the successful flyouts of the #ESASpaceCamp 2026 #RocketryChallenge made at mini @SpaceportBayern of @RocketryKlima !
All 4 rockets performed very well trying to reach a target altitude of 120m with an egg payload!

Pssst! 😎

[Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) @SpaceportBayern]

We had some interesting activities earlier here today!
Are these rockets from the #RocketryChallenge at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 in Spain?

@StarryCook Merci beaucoup! Going with the 75mm diameter for Thor's Hammer was ambitious, indeed!
And yes, the Moustronauts Team treated me really well. I even had the pleasure to be with them on stage while they were presenting their two rockets!
#ESASpaceCamp #RocketryChallenge

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

Well, I am not responsible that the team is calling themselves '"The Moustronauts". Yes, I had the pleasure to meet the team, but I told them that I am Mausonaut, and not Moustronaut. But I admit that like their rocket a lot!

@RocketryKlima Rocket #4 of the #RocketryChallenge at #ESASpaceCamp 2026:
The student team "The Moustronauts" designed & built this 75 mm diameter #rocket and called it "Thor's Hammer".
The #rocket will fly with up to 5 B or C motors made by @RocketryKlima !

What a cool #RocketryChallenge at #ESASpaceCamp! I was involved a bit, too, I have to damit.

I had the honour to conduct a very special #RocketryChallenge at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 in Spain! 4 teams of "Senior" students aged 15-17 designed and built rockets that can carry a raw egg safely to an altitude of 120m and back! Please vote for your favourite #rocket 🔽!

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

.. and this is a sort of tradition now, as @astro_marcus Wandt got his mini version in 2025, and it started in 2024 with @ESAastro_amelie Schoenenwald ! Thank you so much! And who will get an #ESA mini astronaut @playmobil figure during #ESASpaceCamp 2027?

Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 (2025, 2024):
We had the great honor to host a new ESA mini #astronaut - that looks a bit like @Astro_Pablo_ESA - for few days at the camp, and then give it to Pablo! Thank you so much for accepting this little gift!

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026:
We had a very special guest: #ESA Director General @AschbacherJosef was showing his strong support for #stemeducation incl. our #rocketry activities that we are offering to the kids year after year! Thank you so much for your support!

Looking back at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 in #Spain:
We had a very special guest: #ESA #astronaut @Astro_Pablo_ESA ! It was a great pleasure to meet Pablo and show him our #STEMEd activities. And Pablo gave very inspiring talks to all of the 220 kids, of course! Muchas gracias, Pablo!

[Model Rocketry Klima @RocketryKlima]

Yesterday we were visited by our supporter John Richter! Among other things, we launched some #modelrockets at mini @SpaceportBayern: a #VulcanCentaur with new D9 motors, a #FeNyx model with capsule, and our newest addition: a scale A4/V2 #modelrocket!

@MiniAstroAmelie ... and we helped to design and build another mini launcher for #ESASpaceCamp 2026! Does it look strange somehow? Yeah, it does, right?

Hello! @MiniAstroAmelie & yours truly again!
Here you can see the 4 building parts #3Dprinted @RocketryKlima for the #modelrocket to be built at #ESASpaceCamp 2026! Do you know now which launcher it might be?
A hint: please have a look at the 2nd picture as well!

[MiniAstroAmelie @MiniAstroAmelie]

@Mausonaut ... and we will have #Ariane6 models for the kids at #ESASpaceCamp 2026 as well! And another #rocketry exercise is prepared, too!
But now it's time to ship all the equipment to #ESOC!
#STEAM #STEMEd #ESA

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

... this is a #Vega mini launcher, of course! Kids will be able to build these #modelrockets and other #miniESAlaunchers 🚀 as well at #ESASpaceCamp 2026! Woohoo!

Yesterday, the Artemis II crew visited ESTEC to meet the teams behind Orion’s European Service Module, which powered their historic journey around the Moon and back. 🌕🚀

Send your name a million miles from Earth.

NASA’s Roman Telescope is headed to Lagrange Point 2, a spot where gravity balances just right, giving spacecraft a steady, unobstructed view of the universe.

Join the journey to add your name to fly with Roman! https://t.co/Agm9r4z6jw

@ESA_transport @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @Amazonleo @CNES @EuropeSpacePort @esa Congrats to the successful launch today! That was awesome!
#btw, how about the metallic section on the #P160C boosters? Will these always look this way not being white? And if the answer is "Yes", then the next question is of course why?
Thank you so much, merci beaucoup!

[Mausonaut @Mausonaut]

@ESA_transport @Arianespace @ArianeGroup @Amazonleo @CNES @EuropeSpacePort @esa That looks great! We can't wait for the launch tomorrow!
#Btw, I see that the metallic looking section of the P160C boosters will fly the way they are now. Why?
Just asking, to get it right for the #Ariane6 models to be built at #ESASpaceCamp this summer.
