Temperatures on the International Space Station #ISS vary massively between inside and outside. The thermal control system maintains the the temperatures and makes sure they stay as set: ow.ly/kB5n50YvGTB

🚀 Celebrate #YurisNight in Vienna! Join us on 12 April at Planetarium Wien to celebrate human spaceflight and learn about ESA’s upcoming SMILE mission studying space weather. 📅 12 Apr 2026 | 17:00–20:30 📍 Planetarium Wien 🎟️ Free entry

32 candidates. 14 countries. 15 spots. The OeWF Analog Astronaut B-Selection is underway. Only 15 will advance to the C-Selection in May. What do you think it takes to become an analog astronaut? #classof2026 #analogastronaut #selection

We see big varieties in exoplanetary systems. Recently, ESA's CHEOPS satellite found a rocky planet to be the outermost one in its system LHS 1903. How could it have formend? ow.ly/XFPA50YtfsY

China's space programme prepares for its busiest year yet with two crewed missions, a year-long mission, 13 evas and more: ow.ly/qNwI50YsLEr

The CASSINI Hackathon 🛰️Space for Water💧 brings interdisciplinary teams together to solve real-world water challenges like water scarcity, flooding, pollution using 🛰️ & EO in Vienna, 24–26 April 2026. No space experience needed. 👉 Register: ow.ly/Qmzt50YrX3v #EUSpace

Our Director Groemer sat down with @tarabisharat for MarsTV for a wide-ranging interview, covering analog missions, the road to human Mars exploration, and why crisis has historically been a catalyst for bold thinking. Watch here: ow.ly/CxS850Yrw41 @marsplanettech

#MarsMonday Two years ago, #AMADEE24 began in Armenia 🇦🇲, testing Mars tech with our analog astronauts 🧑‍🚀. More about the mission: ➡️ ow.ly/PTAs50YqQHh #simulateMars #throwback 📷: OeWF/vog.photo

Today we celebrate International Women's Day. ♀️ At OeWF, we believe space exploration starts in the classroom. Bringing hands-on science to schools like Explore project - showing young women the diverse careers possible in space - is as important as any mission. #IWD2026

The 2022 asteroid redirection test (DART mission) to Didymos & Dimorphos moved the asteroid pair noticeably, as a detaild study shows. It proves that humanity has the capability to redirect potentially hazardous asteroids: ow.ly/u9cq50YqzVL

34 candidates. 15 spots. Next weekend, our analog astronaut B-Selection begins. 🚀 #OeWF #AnalogAstronaut #oewf #analogastronauts #classof2026

In 2024, a massive solar storm raced across the solar system. It also hit Mars and caused minor malfunctions on orbiters. The effects of the storm showed to be different on Mars compared to Earth: ow.ly/oNfe50Yq0jZ

Yuri’s Night 2026 – Vienna 🌌 Join us on 12 April 2026 in Vienna to celebrate humanity in space! Enjoy expert talks on the Sun, a stunning planetarium show, networking and a special ESA guest (to be confirmed). 🚀 🗓 12 Apr 2026 | 📍 Planetarium Wien | 🎟 Free | 14+

@marcelvanlil we would have to look for them on Mars.

@oewf @SpaceIntel101 Somehow there must bring life to mars to have 2 furtable planets

Tardigrades have survived the vacuum of space or the crushing pressure of the deep ocean in experiments. Now they helped researchers test how hostile Martian soil is, and how it can support life: ow.ly/IUKt50YopR5

🚀1 week. 2 teams. 1 mission: Design a Space Station. Applications are open for the Space Station Design Workshop 2026 (22–28 Aug, TUM Campus Ottobrunn🇩🇪), organised by @TUMuenchen&@Uni_Stuttgart. For Master's, PhDs & young professionals. Apply by 8 March! ow.ly/xoHj50Yoqff

#MarsMonday 🚀 ow.ly/b2TE50YnF1i study shows astronauts need more than growing veggies: 5 key food system elements are essential. Read: ow.ly/iz3F50YnF1m 🌱 Additionally, testing on Earth is also key! Next chance #AMADEE27 #simulateMars. 📷: OeWF/vog.Photo

3I/ATLAS is only the 3rd confirmed interstellar object in our Solar System — and ESA's JUICE caught it on camera from 66M km away. Coma, tail, jets and all. Data took months to arrive. JUICE needed its antenna as a heat shield. 🌠 📡 esa.int/3IATLAS #ScienceSunday

👇 This is what walking on Mars looks like. On Earth. In Innsbruck. The ESA Vertical Treadmill Facility simulates lunar to asteroid-level gravity. Open for research proposals — funding available via @esa CORA. 🔗 oewf.org/en/vertical-tr… #SpaceResearch #HumanSpaceflight #VTF
