I'm just going to post this again because it took a lot of work to generate and I'm super pleased with myself. Plus I think you should be interested. This shows the number of pieces of inert space debris (active sats excluded) below 500 km, sorted by culprit.
Below 500 km much of the space junk is recent (or on elliptical orbits so only present a small fraction of the time). Higher up the junk stays up longer, so the contribution from superpower launches in the Cold War is larger.
On sunday at the SpaceUp conference, you will have the opportunity to take part in a few guided tours to our Soyuz Simulator here in the IRS! Dare to try the docking maneuver? 🚀
Today, the German postal service #DeutschePost has released a #stamp dedicated to @ESA_Rosetta. Along with the spacecraft, it shows part of the surface of #comet#67P captured by Rosetta’s scientific camera system @Rosetta_OSIRIS.

@ThomasSinn42 @host_mi @zero2infinity I should point out that also our current project partner @SSCspace will offer flight opportunities via @host_mi . I'm not certain whether that concerns sounding rocket or balloon flights, though.
Our Photobioreactor @PBRatLSR flies to the ISS! For this occation, we're hosting a start event next tuesday, April 30 at 9 at the IRS. You're all invited!

Really @Sony ? Accessories for your #Smartwatch 3, which was released on the German market 4.5 years ago, are "not produced anymore since a long time"? And I am supposed to buy a new watch because I cannot get a device-specific wristband anymore?
