Journey back to Earth | Aeolus’ historic reentry

ESA’s wind mission Aeolus is coming home. After five years of improving weather forecasts, the satellite will return in a first-of-its-kind assisted reentry. At ESA’s Space Operations Centre in Germany, mission control will use the satellite’s remaining fuel to steer Aeolus during its return to Earth.

  1. Clear, informative presentation by ESA.

  2. One should finally start to collect the space junk together, otherwise at some point manned space travel will no longer be possible.

  3. Time for ESA to independently send their astronauts to orbit.
    Germans 🇩🇪 know how to do it. So just let them do it.

  4. Whoa whoa whoa…did they just admit that the sun heats up the atmosphere?

  5. Sad to see such a technological wonder ending vaporized, but it's done as good as possible and pave the way for new missions. Are there some projects for in orbit refueling for some key technology satellites?
    Well done ESA and hope to see some Aeolus 2 soon!

  6. 我也想(台灣)加入歐洲。

  7. Do you have an exact location ? Where will it be landing ?

  8. Excellent video and an amazing job ESA!! Love it!

  9. So where did it land? Crash landed in ocean after re- entry in atmosphere?

  10. Assisted reentry will be revolutionary. Instead of burning all that years of effort, controlled rentry will significantly bolster the next launch efforts.Just what we need.Use the materials for different missions, and thus save on significant material costs for every earth launches. Space 3D printing should be significantly advanced to significantly cut back the payload and fuel costs. Additive manufacturing, AI assisted space craft parts designing philosophies like cellular automata and shape grammar will increase the advance in smart manufacturing instead of conventional and or outdated manufacturing techniques. Use the cost savings, for the next revolutionary advances in space research and research philosophies.

  11. Where is it supposed to land

  12. Fantástico. Gracias.
