🚀 ESA Space Environment Report 2024: A Wake-Up Call on Space Debris 🚀
@europeanspaceagency 's new report on space debris is out, and the numbers are staggering. With over 35,000 tracked objects (estimated 130 million debris objects ranging from 1 mm to 1 cm [1]), the risk of collisions is higher than ever. Thankfully, ADLER-2 has been collecting data in orbit for 15 months now! Our cubesat has significantly enhanced our detection capabilities for tiny debris, contributing to a better statistical model.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭:
🚀 Record Launches: 2023 saw the highest number of satellite launches ever.
🛰️ Collision Avoidance: Active satellites are increasingly performing collision avoidance maneuvers.
👩‍🚀 Mitigation Efforts: Crucial for keeping low-Earth orbits safe for human explorers.

Let us introduce you to RAMSES - the European Spac

Let us introduce you to RAMSES - the European Space Agency's next major planetary defense mission, which will document the extraordinarily close flyby of the Apophis asteroid in 2029. 🛰️
The Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety, as the mission is called in full, will accompany the asteroid from start to finish and will therefore be able to examine the influences of various parameters in detail. Especially for future emergency scenarios, in which scientists have to react quickly to possible dangers, it is important to gain an overview of characteristics such as the weight, composition, porosity and density of the asteroid, as well as data on its trajectory, rotation and orientation. ☄️
According to astronomers, a close flyby of an object with similar dimensions only happens every 5,000 to 10,000 years - giving researchers the first opportunity to experiment on such an object at close range. 🤩

#MarsMonday The four volunteers who lived and worked in NASA's first simulated one-year Mars habitat mission left their ground-based home on Saturday 6 July. Congratulations! 🤩👏

The first CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analogue) mission began on 25 June 2023 in the 3D-printed habitat. For more than a year, the crew of four simulated the operations of a Mars mission, including 'Mars walks', growing and harvesting different vegetables to supplement their shelf-stable food, maintaining their equipment and habitat, and working under the additional stresses a Mars crew will face, including delays in communication with Earth, limited resources and isolation.

Let us introduce you to RAMSES - the European Space Agency's next major planetary defense mission, which will document the extraordinarily close flyby of the Apophis asteroid in 2029. 🛰️
The Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety, as the mission is called in full, will accompany the asteroid from start to finish and will therefore be able to examine the influences of various parameters in detail. Especially for future emergency scenarios, in which scientists have to react quickly to possible dangers, it is important to gain an overview of characteristics such as the weight, composition, porosity and density of the asteroid, as well as data on its trajectory, rotation and orientation. ☄️
According to astronomers, a close flyby of an object with similar dimensions only happens every 5,000 to 10,000 years - giving researchers the first opportunity to experiment on such an object at close range. 🤩

👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 Delta Suits: Bringing Mars Exploration to the Classroom #MarsMonday
Excited to share our new Delta suits, designed for the @exploreprojecteu program! These suits let teenagers dive into EVA simulations, giving them a real taste of space exploration. 🌍➡️🚀

Inspired by Paul Bakken’s BORP-suit project, the Delta suits have ventilation, communication, and lights. Coming soon: video capabilities with live streaming for mission broadcasts! And there's plenty of space for mission badges to celebrate their achievements. 🌟
Can’t wait to see our students in action with these gorgeous suits!

#MarsMonday The four volunteers who lived and work

#MarsMonday The four volunteers who lived and worked in NASA's first simulated one-year Mars habitat mission left their ground-based home on Saturday 6 July. Congratulations! 🤩👏

The first CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analogue) mission began on 25 June 2023 in the 3D-printed habitat. For more than a year, the crew of four simulated the operations of a Mars mission, including 'Mars walks', growing and harvesting different vegetables to supplement their shelf-stable food, maintaining their equipment and habitat, and working under the additional stresses a Mars crew will face, including delays in communication with Earth, limited resources and isolation.
