Lunar Zebro

Did you see our collaboration video with @esa last year? ESA identified us as a Lunar Visionary of the #Netherlands and #Europe! We are important for both @tudelft and the Netherlands, as we aim to be the first Dutch #MoonRover and do radiation mapping. youtube.com/watch?v=JahFz2…

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Peter Higgs. An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson in 1964. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level. Today CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. home.cern/news/obituary/…

📷 This NASA/ESA @HUBBLE_space Telescope image shows spiral galaxy IC 4633. From our point of view, it's tilted towards us, giving a good view of its billions of stars. But in fact we can’t fully appreciate its features — at least in visible light — because it’s partially concealed by a stretch of dust, a nearer dark nebula in our own Milky Way galaxy...

Our #MissionToPsyche is now set to launch Thursday, Oct. 12, aboard a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket: go.nasa.gov/45areIH This unique mission to a metal-rich asteroid could give us a one-of-a-kind window into how the solar system formed.

Take a look at our software development!🎈 Our software department has been working hard and they gave us a peak 👀 behind the curtain. Link in our bio for the five important steps of the process 🔗

Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, completing the first 16th launch and landing of a booster

We are happy to announce that @astro_andreas will be the commander of the International @space_space on his #Huginn mission during Expedition 70 👨‍🚀🥳 He will be the first Dane and the sixth European to be commander of the ISS 🇩🇰 ➡️esa.int/Science_Explor…

👋 LIFTOFF of #VA261, the last #Ariane5, from Europe's Spaceport, 5 July 2023 #OneLastAriane5 👏 @ArianeGroup @Arianespace @CNES @ESA_transport @EuropeSpacePort

After 4 long years of waiting, it's finally here! The #ParisAirShow finally opens its doors to Trade Visitors. We look forward to seeing you all week long. Find all useful informations here : pulse.ly/z0ty0ihwvw

Chicxulub, 2023 CX1 and Didymos (and Didymoon). These are the names of just a few asteroids we have detected over time. What would you name an asteroid if you could? #AsteroidCityxAsteroidDay @FocusFeatures @AsteroidDay @AsteroidCity

We will be measuring ionizing radiation on our first mission to the moon. 🌚 The radiation we encounter in daily life -for example visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet light -do not possess enough energy to ionize electrons from atoms. This makes ionizing radiation fascinating

Let’s talk about the first scientific payload of Lunar Zebro!

Our project was showcased recently and we discussed the exciting future of space robotics at the Nationaal Ruimtevaart Museum, @Aviodrome The presentation shed light on the current state of space robotics and the promising potential of swarming technology. #lunarzebro #aviodrome

Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship

@MakerFaireDelft #lunarzebro #Tudelft #studentproject

We were at @maker_faire_delft and made some new friends! We got to introduce Lunar Zebro to the public during the two-day event. These events are dear to us, as we get to share our passion with people outside of the universities and meet with the creators of other fun projects.

Keep your eyes in the sky throughout June — you may see the Moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, or even the Stars of the Summer Triangle! Get the details with our monthly episode of What’s Up: go.nasa.gov/37ePy0B

Liftoff!

Three years ago this week we launched our first human spaceflight mission to orbit. Thank you to @NASA, @inspiration4x, @Axiom_Space, and the 38 astronauts from all around the world for flying SpaceX!

#Ax2 is on its way to space! The all-private astronaut mission lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 5:37pm ET (2137 UTC).
