[Focus on the #EnVision mission] Why have #Venus and Earth evolved so differently? This is the question to be answered by the EnVision #SpaceMission of the European Space Agency - ESA, scheduled for launch in 2031.

To this end, the European #probe will carry several instruments - including an imaging #spectrometer, to which IRAP staff are contributing. Observations will be made in the UV and IR domains, in order to monitor temporal variations in #surface temperature and gas concentrations within the #atmosphere - and thus gain a better understanding of interactions between the Venusian atmosphere and surface.

[Focus sur la mission #EnVision] Pourquoi #Vénus et la Terre ont-elles évolué si différemment ? Telle est la question à laquelle devra répondre la #MissionSpatiale EnVision de l' European Space Agency - ESA dont le lancement est prévu pour 2031.

A cet effet, la #sonde européenne embarquera plusieurs instruments - un #spectromètre imageur notamment, auquel contribuent les personnels de l'IRAP. Des #observations seront effectuées dans les domaines UV et IR afin de suivre les variations temporelles de la température de #surface et des concentrations de gaz au sein de l'#atmosphère - et donc, de mieux comprendre les interactions entre l'atmosphère et la surface vénusiennes.

#SpaceMission #Moon #lander #BlueGhost

A little while ago, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander attempted a Moon landing in Mare Crisium. This was an autonomous maneuver that was the key step in what is known as Mission 1. After completing its braking and touching down on the Moon's surface, Blue Ghost sent signals from its sensors confirming its success. After just over half an hour, it started sending images of the Moon's surface.

MPI for Gravitational Physics

On this day one year ago, the European Space Agency (ESA) gave the go-ahead for @LISA, their flagship gravitational-wave observatory in space. LISA should go into orbit in the mid 2030s.

At that time, the mission passed a major review with flying colours: the entire concept – from the definition of the overall mission and operations to the space hardware to be built – stood up to the intense scrutiny of ESA’s reviewers.

The @mpi_grav has @LISA research groups at its Hannover and Potsdam sites. It is the institution with the largest number of members in the LISA Consortium. The institute plays a leading role in the development of key hardware components, in source modeling, data analysis, and science exploitation.

A few hours ago, NASA's Europa Clipper space probe blasted off atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center. After just over an hour, it successfully separated from the rocket's last stage and set off on its route that will take it into deep space, to Europa, Jupiter's moon with an icy surface that hides an ocean of liquid water to understand if it's habitable.

A little while ago, cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub and astronaut Tracy Caldwell-Dyson returned to Earth on the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, which landed in Kazakhstan. Kononenko and Chub completed a one-year mission on the International Space Station while Caldwell-Dyson spent almost exactly 6 months on the Station.

The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, which blasted off about two days ago from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, has reached the International Space Station carrying one new crew member and two visitors. Astronaut Tracy Dyson of NASA is part of Expedition 70/71 while cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy of Roscosmos and the Belarusian Marina Vasilevskaya will remain on the Station for a few days.
