    Proxima Centauri. Cea mai apropiată stea de noi. Locul vacanțelor nepoților noștri. Recent, s-a decoperit și a treia ei planetă! Au ce vizita!
    Proxima Centauri este o pitică roșie. O stea mai mică decât Soarele care arde mocnit chiar și mii de miliarde de ani.
    Prima planetă a stelei Proxima Centauri este cea mai spectaculoasă: Proxima Centauri B. Este stâncoasă, de dimensiunea Pământului și oribitează în jurul stelei la 11 zile, adică e foarte aproape de stea. Cum steaua este mai rece decât Soarele, temperatura acolo este ideală pentru apa lichidă. La piscină nene!
    Proxima Centari C este a doua planetă, o mică planetă gazoasă, la distanță mare de stea. De vizitat pentru friguroși.
    Si iată cea de-a treia planetă, nou descoperită: Proxima Centauri D. Orbitează la 5 zile, deci este mai aproape de stea decât prima planetă și are o masă puțin mai mică decât Pământul. Astronomii au măsurat-o prin efectul indirect pe care îl are asupra stelei gravitația planetei. Practic, steaua se mișcă puțin înainte și înapoi datorită atracției gravitaționale a planetei, cu viteze de până la 40 de cm pe secundă. Suprinzător cum astronomii au putut măsura viteze cosmice așa de mici. Doar că planeta asta nouă, a treia, e mai periculos de vizitat. Fiind la o distanță de 40 de ori mai aproape de stea decât Pământul de Soare, radiațiile ucigătoare de la stea sunt mult mai mari. Acolo vacanța e indicată doar celor care au echipamente de protecție!

    Thomas Pesquet: Undocking and landing

    Highlights from ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet’s return to Earth at the end of his six-month Proxima mission to the International Space Station on 2 June 2017.

    After farewells and hatch closure, Thomas and his Expedition 50/51 crewmate and Soyuz commander Oleg Novitsky undocked from the International Space Station at 12:47 CEST (10:47 GMT). Just a few hours later their spacecraft reentered Earth’s atmosphere, landing in the Kazakh Steppe at 16:10 CEST (14:10 GMT). Thomas and Oleg were helped out of the Soyuz by a recovery crew and, after medical checks, they were flown to Karaganda airport where they received the traditional welcoming ceremony. Thomas then flew directly from Karaganda to Cologne, in Germany, home to the European Astronaut Centre, to start post-flight testing.

    Thomas and Oleg spent 196 days in space. Thomas took part in more than 60 experiments during his Proxima mission. His experiments are helping to understand the human brain, ocean currents and radiation in space, how atoms behave and tested new spacecraft materials. Other highlights included his two spacewalks to improve and maintain the Space Station.

  • Station spacewalk (GoPro footage hyperlapse)

    Station spacewalk (GoPro footage hyperlapse)

    GoPro footage of ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet working outside the International Space Station during a spacewalk on 24 March 2017.

    Thomas is seen performing his spacewalk tasks. Firstly he inspected the Station’s cooling system for leaks. He took photos and recorded video images as he patted and prodded the cooling pipes to see if any coolant leaked out. No leak was found, but ground control can now analyse the images in detail.

    Thomas’ second task was to maintain the multipurpose robotic hand Dextre – he had the laborious job of applying lubricant. The footage concludes when he has set up a foot restraint and is preparing to start work on Dextre – backdropped by a spectactular view of our planet.

    For this spacewalk, Thomas and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough spent six hours and 34 minutes outside the Station.

    Thomas is spending six months on the International Space Station as part of his Proxima mission. During Proxima, Thomas will perform around 50 scientific experiments for ESA and France’s space agency CNES as well as take part in many research activities for the other Station partners.

  • Launching satellites from Space Station – step one

    Launching satellites from Space Station – step one

    ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet working in the Kibo laboratory to prepare a CubeSat launch – at 30 times increased speed.

    The cylinder in the back is the mini-airlock that allows objects to be sent outside the Space Station. First Thomas and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough retrieved the Robotics External Leak Locator and wrapped it up for storage.

    Afterwards Thomas installs the platform that the robotic arm grabs. The pointy bit is the connector for the robotic arm.
    This video was recorded in December 2016 and was the first step for launching the CubeSats on 16 January 2017. Later Thomas put the satellite launcher on the platform and a third step is to connect the satellites themselves.

    Thomas is spending six months on the International Space Station as part of his Proxima mission. During Proxima, Thomas will perform around 50 scientific experiments for ESA and France’s space agency CNES as well as take part in many research activities for the other Station partners.

    After a day’s work running experiments and maintaining the weightless research centre astronauts can retreat to their private quarters that is no larger than a changing room. In this small space they can store personal items, use a laptop for internet and float to sleep in their sleeping bag.
