Some history behind small deep-space missions, behind the scenes 20 years ago with Prof. Fujimoto @ISAS_JAXA 👉 cosmos.isas.jaxa.jp/a-rebel-allian… #HeraMission

We did it, again! #HeraMission completed DSM2, the largest maneuver adjusting its trajectory to rendezvous with Dydimos in November. I applaud @esaoperations team for the incredible work! esa.int/Space_Safety/H…

#HeraMission update: MMH tank temperature in preparation for DSM2 increased in preparation for DSM2 (deep-space manoeuvre 2). Both MMH and MON tanks have reached their target temperatures and the tank pressures are converging towards 17 bar. Ready to burn some propellant!!! 🚀

@michaOOO1 👍

@deepbluedot That´s ESOC in Darmstadt?

Long time since reporting on #HeraMission it navigated the ~ 22-day solar conjunction period without anomalies, executing all operations as pre-planned onboard. Hera also passed aphelion at a solar distance of 2.368 AU. All units remained within their operational temperature 🛰️

@iamkadaladi @esaoperations @ESA_Hera @esascience Unfortunately we can’t observe it but @ESA_TGO did!

@esaoperations Any plans for @ESA_Hera to study ISO 3I's tail if it is feasible?? @esascience @deepbluedot #3IATLAS

One year ago #HeraMission was stranded on Earth, its launcher grounded, as a hurricane closed in on its launch site. 12 months later sees it cruising on the far side of the Sun. Learn the story of Hera in space: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

@esaoperations @ESA_Hera The video caption is the cousin spacecraft Comet-I ☺️

@ESA_Hera Happy launch anniversary, @esa_hera! 🎂🥳 Thanks to some clever planning from teams on Earth, ESA's first planetary defence mission is on track to arrive at the Didymos binary asteroid system a month earlier than originally planned: esa.int/Space_Safety/H…

We've never seen anything like this recording of a landing on another world. @fireflyspace

And in two weeks it will be one year since we launched @esa #HeraMission. This is what international collaboration does for the good of humanity 💪🏻

💥 Three years ago today, @NASA’s DART Mission successfully collided with the non-hazardous asteroid Dimorphos as a test for potential future planetary protection. This video shows the final moments before impact.

Bienvenue au siège social de l'ESA, situé à Paris, pour cette première journée Portes Ouvertes qui se tient dans le cadre des Journées européennes du patrimoine ! Au programme : des conférences, des simulations du Conseil de l'ESA, une exposition de maquettes et un stand ressources humaines...

Beautiful sunrise launch this morning (@ulalaunch photo)

Investir dans le spatial, c’est investir dans notre souveraineté et dans nos territoires.

L’Agence spatiale européenne célèbre ce soir ses 50 ans. Un demi-siècle d’Odyssée pour le spatial européen. Mon message :

Reminds me of Half Dome 🧗🏻‍♂️
