PLATO Satellite

I will detect the transiting habitable Earth-like planets orbiting nearby stars for all mankind on behalf of ESA for you. Under construction at OHB.

@SpaceHolgar @Ariane6 @MrAriane6 @esa_sts @esa Agreed! 😊

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@SpacemanSimon @HolgerVossGaia @PLATOMissionCon Cool,. guys! You have crazy ideas!

[Simon Hodgkin @SpacemanSimon]

I asked @PLATOSatellite PI Heike Rauer if we still meet goals with descope and accelerated launch window #P2CM

[Simon Hodgkin @SpacemanSimon]

descoped @PLATOSatellite launched by @HolgerVossGaia with @PLATOMissionCon at the #P2CM meeting in Berlin

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@SpacemanSimon @HolgerVoss @PLATOMissionCon One launcher is missing? I only need one!? Feeling confused! ;)

[Simon Hodgkin @SpacemanSimon]

One of the rockets is missing .. What’s up @HolgerVoss? @PLATOSatellite @PLATOMissionCon #P2CM

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@SpacemanSimon @PLATOMissionCon Cool! But why do I need two launchers?

[Simon Hodgkin @SpacemanSimon]

what do you think ? @PLATOSatellite @PLATOMissionCon #P2CM

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@SpacemanSimon @PLATOMissionCon Nice logo! I really like it. Will this be put on the fairing of my launcher? ;)

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@HolgerVossGaia I like to help my big brother #Gaia to get a LEGO model! I got mine already 10 years before my launch thanks to @AstroDave2!

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

@PLATOSatellite Thank you for your support!

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

Please send an image of your #LEGO model of the #Gaia satellite to @ESAGaia, @Jos_de_Bruijne, @HolgerVossGaia or me @PLATOSatellite. Thanks

[Holger Voss Ph.D. @SpaceHolgar]

The @PLATOSatellite was already built with #LEGO bricks by @AstroDave2. We are looking now for a #Gaia LEGO model!

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

#Gaia scientists are looking for someone who can built a #LEGO model of their satellite #Gaia. Please help them!

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

These #Kepler planets are about 1000 light years away from Earth. I will be tasked to find planets orbiting stars more nearby! #PLATO

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

Wow! Congratulations to my brother #Kepler (@NASAKepler) for the discovery of 715 more exoplanets! Thank you! #PLATO

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@PLATOSatellite So I will be in very good company in 2024 during my exciting search for another habitable Earth. Only 10 years to go! #PLATO

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

Another satellite of ESA will also be in a L2 orbit - #Euclid (@ESA_Euclid) after its launch from Kourou 2020 - also with a Soyuz-Fregat!

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

@PLATOSatellite But I hope to met the Webb Telescope (@NASAWebbTelescp) there. I will find very interesting targets for the JWST. #PLATO

[PLATO Satellite @PLATOSatellite]

In 2024 #Gaia will most likely not in its L2 orbit anymore. But #Gaia will explore my one million target stars quite well. Thanks! ;) #PLATO
