Recent events have shown us just how quickly space #debris can worsen. Back on ground (unfortunately!), we're working through all the data we got from the flight, refining our de-orbit solutions ✈️ Getting to relive the amazing experience 🐿️

They tested the deployment of their sails during ESA’s last parabolic flight campaign aboard Air Zero G. Learn more about it this week on all our socials.  #AirZeroG #Novespace #ESA #microgravity #A310 #FlyYourThesis #EuropeanWeekForWasteReduction

🛰Space #debris, has become a critical threat to future and ongoing missions. Team LEOniDAS is a team working on one of the solutions: lightweight, small, cost-effective drag sails deployed at end of a mission, thus ensuring a faster #deorbitation of the spacecraft.  #ESA

Today the #FlyYourThesis teams @leonidasfyt, DZH Dynamics and ZEUS took to the skies for their first parabolic flight of three! Today we focus on @cranfielduni 's @leonidasfyt team. Their wonderful technology deploys sails of different lengths and geometries

Tomorrow, at Novespace facilities in Bordeaux, the first of a series of three parabolic flight will take place. Our data will be used to qualify the designs and help to develop the next family of drag sails for a sustainable space environment. Will keep you updated - stay tuned!

The drag sails are ready for microgravity testing! 🚀✈️♻️ After one exhausting week of assembly, testing and pre-flight checks, our drag sail technology demonstrator is fully operational and integrated on the A310-AirZeroG aircraft. Experiment is good to go!

Wow! Look at some of the great designs are Engineers in Year 5 have come up with. With these we really could clean up space! Well done everyone and good luck to those entering the competition! @ElmridgeScience @UKSEDS

The clock is ticking and our team is fully focused on Assembling, Integrating and Testing our experiment. The AIT phase represent a critical step in the development of an experiment, since all the requirements must be checked and verified. Remember: Safety First!

Leo being a diligent supervisor as per usual! 🐿️ Determined not to just *wing it*, Leo's been helping us stay on track! We're hoping to *glide* through our safety review at the end of the month, which *en-tails* ensuring our experiment won't be a hazard to anyone on the flight ✈️
