In its latest test of readiness for space, ESA’s Hera spacecraft for planetary defence is being operated for around three weeks in hard vacuum, while being subjected to the same temperature profiles it will experience during its journey to the Didymos binary asteroid system.
The 1.6 × 1.6 × 1.7 m spacecraft was slid inside the 4.5-m diameter, 11.8-m long Phenix thermal vacuum chamber at ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands.
“You’re always a bit nervous when your baby gets moved about,” remarks Ian Carnelli, overseeing Hera for ESA. “Right now it’s being shut into a dark airless box for weeks on end, but we have confidence it will perform well.”
Hera can be seen receded into the rectangular ‘thermal tent’ within Phenix. The six copper walls of this internal box can be heated up to 100°C or cooled via piped liquid nitrogen down to –190°C, all independently from each other.
Then, after the main door of the stainless steel Phenix chamber was slid shut, the air within the chamber was pumped out during a lengthy 20 hours process down to approximately one billionth of outside atmospheric pressure. This will allow the Hera team from ESA, European Test Services operating the Test Centre and Hera manufacturer OHB to test the spacecraft’s thermal behaviour as the temperature changes around it.
Space is a place where it is possible to be hot and cold at the same time if one part of your spacecraft is in sunlight and another is in shade. And because there is no air, there is no conduction or convection to lose heat from your spacecraft. Instead thermal experts employ insulation and radiators to keep the body of a spacecraft within carefully chosen temperature limits. In general spacecraft electronics – just like their human makers – work best at room temperature.
“We already have detailed models of the spacecraft’s thermal behaviour, and this spacecraft-level thermal vacuum test lets us correlate these models with reality,” explains Hera’s Product Assurance and Safety manager, Heli Greus.
“More than 400 thermal sensors have been placed in and around Hera to give us precise knowledge of what is going on, and the test is being supervised on a 24/7 basis in case anything anomalous occurs. The spacecraft is now being put through a series of ‘cold plateaus’ and ‘hot plateaus’ representative of its mission, which will allow us to test the thermal limits of each specific unit aboard.”
Hera is Europe’s contribution to an international planetary defence experiment. Following the DART mission’s impact with the Dimorphos asteroid in 2022 – modifying its orbit and sending a plume of debris thousands of kilometres out into space – Hera will return to Dimorphos to perform a close-up survey of the crater left by DART. The mission will also measure Dimorphos’ mass and make-up, along with that of the larger Didymos asteroid that Dimorphos orbits around. Hera is due for launch in October 2024.
The ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands is the largest facility of its kind in Europe, providing a complete suite of equipment for all aspects of satellite testing under a single roof.

Ne confruntăm cu provocarea de a reconsidera ceea ce știm despre esența realității, pe măsură ce explorăm limitele cunoașterii umane și întâlnim concepte care sfidează înțelegerea convențională. Lumina este aruncată asupra inovațiilor revoluționare în tehnologie, cu un accent special pe cum inteligența artificială începe să rescrie regulile interacțiunii noastre cu lumea digitală.
O pauză reflectivă ne oferă șansa de a aprecia susținerea care face posibilă această aventură intelectuală, înainte de a ne reîntoarce la măreția explorării spațiale. Urmărim pașii gigantici ai Voyager 1, care ne întinde imaginația dincolo de limitele sistemului solar, în timp ce demontăm mituri și ne confruntăm cu înțelesurile și misconcepțiile care înconjoară concepte familiare.
Finalul ne aduce înapoi pe terenul bine cunoscut al gravitației, acea forță omniprezentă care modelează existența noastră și a universului, invitându-ne să reflectăm asupra profunzimii și frumuseții necuprinse a tot ceea ce ne înconjoară. Fiecare moment al acestei călătorii este o invitație să privim dincolo de aparențe, să întrebăm, să învățăm și să ne minunăm de nelimitata curiozitate umană și de dorința de a descoperi.”
Today we mourn the passing of Thomas P. Stafford at the age of 93.
In December 1965, Stafford piloted Gemini VI, the first rendezvous in space, and helped develop techniques to prove the basic theory and practicality of space rendezvous.
Later he commanded Gemini IX and performed a demonstration of an early rendezvous that would be used in the Apollo lunar missions, the first optical rendezvous, and a lunar orbit abort rendezvous.
He served as the commander of the Apollo 10 ‘dress rehearsal’ mission preparing for the first Moon landing and as Apollo commander of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission, a joint space flight culminating in the historic first meeting in space between American Astronauts and Soviet Cosmonauts, which ended the International space race.
Throughout his career, Stafford helped us push the boundaries of what’s possible in air and space, flying more than 100 different types of aircraft.

This video zooms through space to reveal Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image of the Southern Ring Nebula.
The bright star at the centre of NGC 3132, while prominent when viewed by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Telescope in near-infrared light, plays a supporting role in sculpting the surrounding nebula. A second star, barely visible at lower left along one of the bright star’s diffraction spikes, is the nebula’s source. It has ejected at least eight layers of gas and dust over thousands of years.
Data from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) were used to make this extremely detailed image. It is teeming with scientific information — and research will begin following its release.

Climate change exacerbates droughts by making them more frequent, longer, and more severe. This can have a wide range of impacts on the environment, agriculture, ecosystems and communities including water scarcity, crop failure and food shortages.
The upcoming Copernicus Land Surface Temperature Monitoring, LSTM, mission will improve sustainable agricultural productivity in a world of increasing water scarcity and variability.
The mission will carry a high spatial-temporal resolution thermal infrared sensor to provide observations of land-surface temperature.
These data are key to understand and respond to climate variability, manage water resources for agricultural production, predict droughts and also to address land degradation.
LSTM is one of six Copernicus Sentinel Expansion missions that ESA is developing on behalf of the EU. The missions will expand the current capabilities of the Copernicus Space Component – the world’s biggest supplier of Earth observation data.

Live from the International Space Station, NASA astronauts Jeanette Epps and Loral O’Hara are joined by NASA experts live at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. The panel of explorers in orbit and on Earth talk about how you can get involved with space station research and technology.
Find out how to fly a scientific experiment, move your business forward, or find inspiration from the explorers living and working in space, as well as how to spot the station when it flies over your part of the globe. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a professional researcher, or just plain curious, this session is for you.
European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen shared this video on social media with the caption:
“On the weekends, we have time off and and while I like to call my friends and family or sit in the Cupola and take pictures of Earth, I sometimes like to play around a bit. I recorded this video a few weeks ago and finally got around to sharing it with you.
The way a liquid, in this case orange juice, moves around on the Space Station is fascinating, rippling when I blow on it and how sticks to me as I drink it.”
After more than 6 months on the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen returned to Earth, marking the end of his Huginn mission. It was his second mission to the Space Station and his first long-duration, where he was the pilot of Crew-7, which consisted of Jasmin Moghbeli (NASA), Satoshi Furukawa (JAXA), and Konstantin Borisov (Roscosmos).

#stiinta #fizica #science #tehnologie #technology #cristianpresura algoritm:”Teoria Pământului plat este una dintre cele mai discutate conspirații, susținută de un grup de oameni care neagă consensul științific privind forma sferică a Terrei. Această teorie neagă existența gravitației, sugerând în schimb că fotografiile din spațiu, oferite de NASA și ilustrate prin sateliți, sunt fabricate sau manipulate. Fondată pe observații empirice, precum aparenta lipsă a curburii orizontului, susținătorii acestei teorii, printre care se numără și Samuel Rowbotham, se bazează pe interpretări literale ale textelor istorice și pe o critică profundă a metodelor științifice moderne.
În era internetului și a social media, teoria Pământului plat a câștigat o nouă viață, fiind promovată prin documentare, conferințe și diverse platforme online. Această mișcare nu doar că promovează o viziune alternativă asupra lumii, dar și critică vehement educația științifică tradițională, promovând o formă de raționalism bazată pe “observație directă” și scepticism față de autoritățile științifice stabilite.
Polemici în jurul acestei teorii includ dezbaterea asupra percepției vizuale, experimente de refutare și analiza critică a presupuselor dovezi ale existenței unui Pământ plat. Teoria Pământului plat servește nu doar ca un exemplu de pseudoștiință, dar și ca un studiu de caz despre cum informațiile și teoriile conspirației pot fi răspândite și acceptate în era digitală, în ciuda dovezilor științifice masive care susțin forma sferică a Pământului. Aceasta evidențiază tensiunile dintre scepticismul științific și credințele bazate pe conspirații moderne, punând sub semnul întrebării integritatea educației și informării publice în societatea contemporană.”
The 2024 astronaut graduating class gives you an insider’s look at not only the who’s who of their graduating class, but it allows you to get a glimpse of the accomplished astronauts’ personalities.

All astronauts go through a quarantine period before flying to space.
This period of isolation keeps them away from any germs or viruses that might make them sick. Quarantine is also important to minimise the risk of bringing an infectious disease with them to space.
Marcus Wandt entered quarantine two weeks ahead of his launch in Florida, USA, just a few kilometres away from the rocket that took him to the ISS as part of Axiom Mission 3.
Quarantine for astronauts does not mean a holiday – it is a busy period. Marcus spent around twelve hours a day preparing for the mission ahead. His schedule included physical exercise, refreshers of flight operations, the review of science and outreach activities, and even virtual reality simulations of the job awaiting him on the Space Station.
Andreas Mogensen launched on his Huginn mission in August 2023 to the International Space Station, becoming the first non-US astronaut to pilot SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. Andreas became commander of the International Space Station in September 2023, becoming the longest serving European commander in January 2024. His mission was spent on more than 30 European experiments and plenty of international ones as well, ranging from water purification to studies of human physiology and thunderclouds. After 6 months on the International Space Station, Andreas will come down to Earth together with his Crew-7 crewmates Jasmin Moghbeli (NASA), Satoshi Furukawa (JAXA), and Konstantin Borisov (Roscosmos).
