  • Open doors for the ESA-ESTEC Open Day

    Open doors for the ESA-ESTEC Open Day

    On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 October 2023, the European Space Agency opened the doors to the European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC, in the Netherlands. Where science meets science fiction, the theme of this year’s open day was ‘Science Fiction Gets Real’, highlighting how science fiction has inspired scientists and engineers to join ESA, and turn once imaginary concepts into science fact. The single largest ESA establishment invited the public to meet astronauts, view spacecraft – including a rare chance to view ESA’s asteroid mission Hera as it undergoes testing – and peer behind the scenes of Europe’s space adventure, along with a full schedule of events and talks from Space Rocks, celebrating the art and culture of science and space.

    Josef Aschbacher congratulates Crew 2 | Mission Alpha

    ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher congratulates the Dragon Crew 2 shortly after they enter the Space Station. ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, @NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, and @JAXA-HQ astronaut Akihiko Hoshide arrived at the Station one day after their launch on 23 April at 10:49 BST (11:49 CEST, 05:49 local time).

    Thomas is the first ESA astronaut to fly in space in a vehicle other than the Russian Soyuz or the US Space Shuttle, and the first ESA astronaut to leave Earth from Florida, USA, in over a decade. This is his second flight, his first mission called Proxima saw Thomas fly to the Space Station on a Soyuz from Baikonur in Kazakhstan and his expedition broke records for amount of hours spent on research at the time.

    During the event, Samantha was joined by ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher, ESA Director of Human and Robotic Exploration David Parker, and Italian space agency president Giorgio Saccoccia.

    Samantha is a member of ESA’s astronaut class of 2009. During her firs mission ‘Futura’ in 2014t m–15, she spent 200 days in space, carrying out science and operations on the International Space Station as a flight engineer for Expeditions 42 and 43. She now looks forward to returning to the ISS, her “home away from home.”

    Artificial intelligence for Earth observation

    During ESA’s ɸ-week on 12–16 November in Italy, Patrick Helber from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence explains how artificial intelligence is being trained with Earth observation data and images such as that from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission so features can be detected automatically. This can then be used to classify land cover types automatically, for example.

  • ESA Euronews: Earth as a planet

    ESA Euronews: Earth as a planet

    Earth is the largest rocky planet in our Solar System, and the only body we know of capable of supporting life. With so much news about exoplanets dominating the headlines, in this episode of Space we take a step back to take a look at Earth as a planet.

    Four and a half billion years old and 149.6 million kilometres from the Sun, it’s not like anything else in the Solar System: “Planet Earth is quite a particular planet,” says Josef Aschbacher, Director of Earth Observation at ESA. “We have 70% of water, we have land masses which are actually moving over time. We have an atmosphere which is rich in oxygen, nitrogen, in water vapour. All of these are necessities in order to have life on a planet like this.”

    Rome is a perfect spot to look at the defining characteristics of planet Earth, in particular the presence of liquid water. Our home planet has the right temperature and correct atmospheric pressure for water to flow on its surface, making it so hospitable to life.

    ESA Euronews: La Tierra vista como un planeta

    A 149.6 millones de kilómetros del sol, con unos cuatro mil millones y medio de años de antigüedad, la Tierra es el único planeta capaz de albergar vida.

    “El planeta Tierra es muy particular, como puede observar detrás de mi, es un planeta fascinante. La superficie está compuesta en un 70% de agua, las placas tectónicas están en continuo movimiento. La atmósfera es muy rica en oxígeno, nitrógeno y vapor de agua. Todos esos elementos son necesarios para la vida en un planeta como este”, explica Josef Aschbacher, director del Observatorio de la Tierra, ESA.

    La historia de Roma está impregnada de ejemplos que nos recuerdan la importancia del agua para nuestro planeta que, a diferencia de Marte o Venus, posee la temperatura y la presión atmosférica idóneas para que el agua fluya en la superficie. También, fluye en las profundidades, lo vemos aquí, en Villa Medici, donde sigue activo un acueducto construido en la época romana.

  • ESA Euronews: Um olhar mais atento sobre o planeta Terra

    ESA Euronews: Um olhar mais atento sobre o planeta Terra

    A Terra é, segundo sabemos, o único planeta capaz de suportar vida. Está a cerca de 150 milhões de quilómetros do Sol e tem cerca de quatro mil e quinhentos milhões de anos de idade.

    Não existe nada semelhante no sistema solar, como confirma o diretor do Observatório da Terra da “Agência Espacial Europeia”:http://www.esa.int/por/ESA_in_your_country/Portugal (AEE), Josef Aschbacher: “A Terra é um planeta bastante específico. Como podem ver aqui, é fascinante. Temos 70% de água, temos massas que se movem, ao longo do tempo. Temos uma atmosfera rica em oxigénio, nitrogénio, vapor de água… Tudo necessário para haver vida num planeta como este”.

    Na superfície da Terra, em Roma, Itália, somos constantemente lembrados de como a água é importante para nosso planeta.

    Ao contrário de Marte ou Vénus, a Terra tem a temperatura e a pressão atmosférica corretas para que a água flua na sua superfície.

    ESA Euronews: A Föld, mint bolygó

    A legnagyobb sziklás bolygó a Naprendszerben, egy igazán különleges hely: lássuk, milyen planéta tulajdonképpen a Föld.

    Egy négy és fél milliárd éves szikla, nagyjából százötven millió kilométerre a Naptól. Az egyetlen általunk ismert bolygó, amelyen élet lehetséges. A Naprendszeren belül pedig egészen biztosan egyedülálló.

    – A Föld egy különleges bolygó – szögezte le Josef Aschbacher, az Európai Űrügynökség (ESA) Föld-megfigyelési Központjának igazgatója. – A felszín 70 százalékát víz fedi, vannak nagy földtömegek, amelyek lassan mozognak. Van oxigénben, nitrogénben vízgőzben gazdag atmoszféra. Ezek mindegyikéhez szükség van ahhoz, hogy az élet fennmaradhasson egy ilyen bolygón.

    A Föld felületén minden emlékeztet arra, hogy a folyékony víz mennyire fontos. A Marssal vagy a Vénusszal ellentétben a Földön a hőmérséklet és a légköri nyomás is megfelelő ahhoz, hogy folyékony víz legyen a felszínen.

  • ESA Euronews: Der Blaue Planet

    ESA Euronews: Der Blaue Planet

    Space schaut diesmal nicht ins All, sondern auf unseren eigenen Planeten, die Erde. Der größte Gesteinsplanet in unserem Sonnensystem und ein wahrlich außergewöhnlicher Ort. 149,6 Millionen Kilometer von der Sonne entfernt, rund viereinhalb Milliarden Jahre alt. Mit einem Durchmesser von 12.700 Kilometern – ein bisschen größer als die Venus, etwa doppelt so groß wie der Mars. Und der einzige Planet, den wir bislang kennen, auf dem Leben möglich ist.

    Die Erde ist einzigartig im Sonnensystem, bekräftigt Josef Aschbacher, Leiter der Erdbeobachtung bei der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation ESA: “Der Planet Erde ist ein ganz besonderer, ein faszinierender Planet. Wir haben 70 Prozent Wasser, wir haben Landmassen, die sich über die Zeit verschieben, wir haben eine Atmosphäre, die reich an Sauerstoff, Stickstoff und Wasserdampf ist. Und all das sind die notwendigen Gegebenheiten, um Leben auf einem Planeten wie diesem haben zu können.”

    Auf der Oberfläche der Erde wird einem ständig in Erinnerung gerufen, wie wichtig Wasser für unseren Planeten ist. Anders als Mars oder Venus hat sie die richtige Temperatur und den passenden atmosphärischen Druck, dass Wasser auf ihr fließen kann.
