Rocket fuelled up now , so everything going ahead smoothly...
If it reenables European sovereign and independent access to space it's a success. Fingers crossed that it's also as reliably as A5. Commercially I agree.
So launch window start has been shifted by one hour according to my info: 21:00 - 00:00 Amsterdam/Berlin CEST.
Wohoo a proper launch thread. Thank you!
Let's hope they manage to launch at the beginning of the window.
So for Amsterdam/Berlin timezone that's starting at 20:00 tonight.
A fascinating feature takes centre stage in this new image from ESA’s Mars Express: a dark, uneven scar slicing through marbled ground at the foot of a giant volcano.
Fingers crossed for our new European launcher 🤞
It's been too long since we had an operational European launcher. I hope Vega C and A6 are available and reliable by the end of the year. There is quite a queue of new missions, several of them already had to be launched with SpaceX.
ESA Reveals Timeline for Final Push to Maiden Ariane 6 Flight
TLDR:
June 18 : wet dress rehearsal
Launch: first two weeks of July
Tentative date to be announced during ILA airshow between 5-9 of June
CNES, Decathlon, Spartan Space and MEDES to Develop Spacesuit
The French space agency CNES has announced a partnership with Spartan Space, the Institute of Space Medicine and Physiology (MEDES), and the sporting goods retailer Decathlon to develop a European intra-vehicular activity (IVA) spacesuit.
ESA’s EarthCARE satellite, poised to revolutionise our understanding of how clouds and aerosols affect our climate, has been launched. This extraordinary satellite embarked on its journey into space on 29 May at 00:20 CEST (28 May, 15:20 local time) aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Space...
ESA’s Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) mission is getting ready for lift-off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg, California, with a target launch date of no earlier than 28 May 2024. Save the date and watch the launch live on ESA WebTV or ESA YouTube.

The radioactive unit will help to deliver Europe’s first Mars rover to the planet’s surface.
Can I ask how everyone personally feels about using nuclear material for space exploration? For the rovers heating elements it will be just a couple of grams but for generating electricity via a RTG a spacecraft would require several kilograms of radioactive material.
"We are working hard on resolving these uncertainties."
Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope may have detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best evidence to date for the existence of a rocky planet atmosphere outside our Solar System.
Some more information in the Guardian:
There is currently no mission planned for her as Australia just paid the training cost when she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor.
Australia would also now have to pay for a ride to the ISS. The tourist ticket info I found was about 30 MUSD but that's including the training I think.
Fingers crossed that it's not affecting the mission objectives

ESA has started to turn this scene into a reality, devising a mission to investigate an ocean world around either Jupiter or Saturn. But which moon should we choose? What should the mission do exactly? A team of expert scientists has delivered their findings.

A newly devised procedure to de-ice Euclid's optics has performed significantly better than hoped. Light coming in to the visible ‘VIS’ instrument from distant stars was gradually decreasing due small amounts of water ice building up on its optics. Mission teams spent months devising a procedure to heat up individual mirrors in the instrument’s complex optical system, without interfering with the finely tuned mission’s calibration or potentially causing further contamination. After the very first mirror was warmed by just 34 degrees, Euclid's sight was restored.
Today, ESA’s Science Programme Committee approved the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space.

This important step, formally called ‘adoption’, recognises that the mission concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. This work will start in January 2025 once a European industrial contractor has been chosen.
Sind das dann diese berühmten Schlafschafe von denen die Querdenker immer reden?
Nicht das der dann wieder den falschen fürs Foto besteigt, ich bin sicherlich nur bei 6000...
Darum lese ich dieses Unter. Auf den Erkenntnisgewinn erstmal eine passende Flasche öffnen...
Lol, bitte weiterberichten. Ggf Kamera auf das eigene Grundstück falls der Tonnenotto nochmal kommt? Die [Fahrbahnverengung] Wiedernutzung des eigenen Grundstückes scheint ja Wirkung zu zeigen. Und viel Erfolg und Ausdauer.
Du hast Fascho falsch geschrieben

Beim Campen kommt man sich zwischen Familien manchmal näher als man möchte. Habe anektdotisch schon das Gefühl, das insgesamt Kinder von ihren Eltern mehr angegangen, angeraunzt und teilweise beleidigt werden. Wo halböffentlich schon verbal "zugehauen" wird, gibt es im privaten sicherlich weitere Gewalt.
Ich kann die Zunahme von den Ursachen her schon nachvollziehen: Gerade in den letzten Jahren hat es Eltern mit kleinen Kindern besonders erwischt: Pandemie und dann die hohe Inflation. Dazu noch perspektivisch keine planetare/gesellschaftliche Zukunft die man sich für seine Kinder wünschen würde (Klimakatastrophe, kaputte Renten- und Gesundheitssysteme, zunehmender Rechtsradikalismus... ).
Obendrauf hat die Politik in den letzten Jahrzehnten hauptsächlich den Status Quo verwaltet und meist Politik für die zahlreichere ältere Wählerschaft gemacht.
Alles zusammen deutlich mehr Stress zusätzlich zu einer eh schon stressige Lebensaufgabe. Was natürlich alles keine Rechtfertigung für Gewalt an Kindern ist aber eine Verbesserung der Lage müsste die Grundursachen angehen...
Ich glaub deren Tip ist, warten bis der Boden entweder trocken oder gefroren ist....
