Gama

@SpaceX Congratulations SpaceX team!

Starship’s Raptor engine burn is complete and Starship has entered a coast phase

@explocomposer l'objectif primaire est de tester le déploiement de la voile. Nous validations aussi nos simulations de comportement de la voile.

Gama Alpha is going to space. SpaceX has announced the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket containing our satellite from Cap Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, scheduled for Tuesday, January 3, 2023 at 9:56am ET (14:56 GMT, 15:56 Paris).

@SpaceX Nice view! thank you for taking our Gama Alpha solar sail to space @SpaceX @elonmusk

@NanoAvionics @TNO_nieuws @NLR_NL Thank you @NanoAvionics

S-band communications were established with all four of our customer #satellites from the #SpaceX #Transporter6 launch! Welcome to space @gamaspace, FFI, @TNO_nieuws, and @NLR_NL! 🛰️ It is an excellent start to a busy, launch-packed year. Learn more in the comments below. 👇

@SailWorldNews Sailing on sunlight! Thank you Sail-world

@SpaceX Congratulations @SpaceX and thank you for the ride. So far so good for our Gama Alpha solar sail.

Falcon 9 launches SpaceX’s sixth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission – completing our 200th successful launch!

@cmacgm Thank you @cmacgm . We are proud to be partnered with you!

Reach for the stars!🛰️💫 @Gamaspace, a CMA CGM partner, has launched the first French low-orbit solar sail into orbit! This technology will allow the development of orbital logistics and space transportation with an extremely low energy impact: no fuel required. #Innovation

We have lift-off! Gama Alpha is on its way, and will be separating exactly 1hr after liftoff. #space #solarsail #spacex #solarsailing #GamaAlpha #CNES @CNES @cmacgm @SpaceX

Just a few more hours to launch. This will be the sequence over the coming weeks. #space #solarsail #spacex #solarsailing #GamaAlpha @CNES @cmacgm @SpaceX

@SpaceflightNow @mdcainjr Our solar sail satellite is one of the 114 onboard!

@mdcainjr The first launch of 2023 for SpaceX, and for the Cape Canaveral spaceport, is set for 9:56am EST (1456 GMT) Tuesday. A Falcon 9 rocket will loft 114 small satellites and payloads into polar orbit. (file photo) spaceflightnow.com/2023/01/02/mil…

The US Space Force is preparing for as many as 87 launches from Florida’s Space Coast in 2023, including dozens more SpaceX missions and the expected debuts of United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan and Relativity’s Terran 1 rockets. 📷: @mdcainjr Full story: spaceflightnow.com/2023/01/02/mil…

@SpaceX Gama Alpha is onboard with a 73.3m2 solar sail, and looking forward to the launch.💫

For SpaceX’s first launch of 2023, we’re targeting 9:56 a.m. ET on Tuesday, January 3 for Falcon 9’s sixth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission to orbit spacex.com/launches

When Gama spacecrafts will be hundreds of millions of km away from Earth, sailing through the solar system, we depend on reliable code to achieve mission objectives. This is the heartbeat of our spacecraft, and it just needs to work. #rustlang to space!

Reportage d’@AlexandraDelbot > Itw de Louis de Gouyon Matignon et de Constantin Bauda @gamaspace. Ils développent une voile solaire qui utilise la pression radiative du soleil comme propulsion. Comment cette voile solaire se déploie-t-elle ? #LaMethSci

Gama is official! Louis de Gouyon Matignon, @andrewnutter, @tiboel and a fantastic team of engineers are building solar sails. Launching our first mission with @SpaceX in October. Join the journey to sail through our solar system. gamaspace.com #spacesails

Before going to space, Gama needs to be on twitter! More to come.
