Während ihres Besuchs bei ESTEC traf die Artemis-II-Crew einige der ESA-Expert*innen, die ihre Reise von der Erde aus unterstützt haben. Das vollständige Interview gibt’s hier👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvshkz1OGe4

Artemis II astronauts visit ESA's technical centre (ESTEC)

The four Artemis II astronauts visited ESTEC, ESA’s technical centre in the Netherlands, on 13 July as the first stop in a series of post-flight visits to the European teams that made their mission possible. The day included a visit to the Eagle mission control room, where ESA and Airbus engineers monitored the European Service Module around the clock throughout Artemis II. There, astronauts met some of the ESA specialists who had supported their flight from Earth. 0:00 Intro 0:09 Meeting with ESA engineers 1:50 Life on Orion 3:53 Mission images 5:10 A global mission 6:05 ESA Caves training 7:36 Luca flying Artemis III 10:04 What is Moonjoy? 11:40 Baton handover to Artemis III 12:20 Big scientific questions 15:33 Message to ESA Credits: European Space Agency (ESA) Access the video on the ESA video library: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2026/07/Artemis_II_crew_at_ESTEC ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

Unser ESA/Hubble-Bild des Monats zeigt eine asymmetrische Spiralgalaxie. 🌀 NGC 4654 befindet sich 72 Millionen Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt im Virgo-Haufen, einem massereichen, dicht besiedelten Galaxienhaufen im Sternbild Jungfrau.

Falls ihr es verpasst habt: Training während des Fluges: Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der Ankunftssimulationen von BepiColombo. Im September dieses Jahres wird die Mission endlich in ihre lang erwartete Ankunftsphase am Merkur starten – eine Reihe kritischer Manöver und wichtiger Modultrennungen, die sich über mehrere Monate erstrecken und zwei Raumfahrzeuge in ihre wissenschaftlichen Umlaufbahnen um den innersten Planeten des Sonnensystems bringen werden.

Bereit für den Start. ✅ Unser Exoplanetenjäger Plato hat gerade seinen letzten großen Test bestanden. Er wird 2027 mit einer Ariane-6-Rakete starten und nach erdähnlichen Welten um sonnenähnliche Sterne suchen. https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2026/07/Plato_s_electronics_ready_for_space

Plato's electronics ready for space

<p>The European Space Agency’s terrestrial planet hunter <a href="/missions/about-us/directorates/science/plato/plato" target="_blank">Plato</a> has recently completed a series of key tests inside the <a href="/articles/about-us/directorates/technology-engineering-and-quality/test-centre/electromagnetic-compatibility" target="_blank">Maxwell Test Chamber</a> at <a href="/articles/about-us/meet-us/sites-and-establishments-2/esa-estec/estec-european-space-research-and-technology-centre" target="_blank">ESTEC</a>, demonstrating that its electronic equipment is fit to work in space.</p><p>This photo captures the spacecraft standing inside the special chamber. The shielded enclosure features conducting metal walls, floor, and ceiling that form a Faraday cage, screening out all external interference. Its 9 m-high interior is lined floor to ceiling with foam spikes that absorb electrical signals and sounds to mimic the void of space.</p><p>Once the chamber was sealed closed, engineers remotely switched on and commanded Plato’s electronic equipment. They ran a series of tests to ensure that the spacecraft’s complex instruments and modules did not interfere with each other or with the communication systems, creating unwanted ‘crosstalk’.</p><p>In the extreme vacuum of space, a spacecraft’s electronics can behave differently than they do in a typical test lab on the ground. Without proper testing, this can have unforeseen consequences that could affect the mission’s goals or even damage the equipment.</p><p>Thanks to the tests run in the Maxwell Test Chamber, engineers verified that Plato’s many electronic systems can work together in space without interference – in other words, that they are electromagnetically compatible.</p><p>With compatibility checked off, Plato has now cleared the last remaining major exam in the series that the spacecraft must undertake to graduate for launch.</p><p>The exams started back in January this year with <a href="#">vibration and acoustic tests</a>, followed by a month-long stay inside the <a href="/articles/about-us/directorates/technology-engineering-and-quality/test-centre/large-space-simulator-lss" target="_blank">Large Space Simulator</a> where <a href="/articles/about-us/directorates/science/plato/plato-aces-space-like-tests" target="_blank">Plato aced a demanding set of tests</a> and demonstrated that it is fit to withstand the harsh conditions of space.</p><p><a href="#" target="_blank">Plato will lift off on an Ariane 6</a>. Its launch is planned by <a href="https://www.arianespace.com/" target="_blank">Arianespace</a> for March 2027.</p><p><em>[Image description: Photograph of a spacecraft towering at the centre of a large test chamber. The chamber's walls and ceiling are covered with dense rows of blue foam spikes that create a striking geometric pattern extending in all directions around the spacecraft. The right side of the spacecraft is dominated by shiny black, stowed, solar panels. The spacecraft body is partly visible on the left wrapped in reflective gold-coloured insulating foil and partially covered by a translucent protective sheet secured with small pieces of red tape.]</em></p>www.esa.int

Falls ihr es verpasst habt: AMAT: Der Wegweiser der ESA durchs Sonnensystem. Lange bevor ein Raumfahrzeug startet, planen Fachleute seine Reise. Sie testen und verfeinern Planetenvorbeiflüge und Bahnmanöver bereits Jahre im Voraus. Im Mittelpunkt dieser frühen Planung steht die Missionsanalyse. Bei der ESA prägt nun eine neue Softwaregeneration die Art und Weise, wie diese Arbeit geleistet wird.

Verbesserte Datenlage zu Kohlenstoffemissionen aus Wäldern benötigt. Laut einer Studie, die zum Teil durch das Biomasse-Projekt der Klimawandel-Initiative der ESA finanziert wurde, sind tiefere Analysen erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass die Degradation und Regeneration tropischer Wälder in Kohlenstoffkreislaufmodellen sowie in nationalen Berichten zur Datenlage konsistent berücksichtigt werden.
