@esa Does the fear of heights ever enter into the equation? It is one thing to look down at earth but look behind you into space which is infinite....then again astronauts are out of this world!!! 😉

@esa You guys ever just think about untethering and just letting go? The thought has to enter your mind, like, you can't answer yes, because they wouldn't let you do this anymore, but... you gotta right? ??

@esa How do they protect their eyes against the glare? Or is it that their helmets are so protective that they're effectively blind when they enter the airlock, before removing them?

Congratulations to European Space Agency and Arianespace on a successful inaugural launch of #Ariane6 #VA262 This launch has already made a significant impact on European space ecosystem, as it is a key step towards secure and autonomous European access to space.

This is Clone Robotics realistic humanoid robotic arm, designed to closely mimic the movement and anatomy of a human arm. It is powered by electricity and a water-based hydraulic system using a compact pump about the size of a human heart. Despite weighing only 1 kilogram, the robotic arm can lift a 7-kilogram dumbbell.

🇨🇳 Meanwhile Chinese Space Agency “The pictures released out of a partial Earth - scientist say they are unable to get a picture of the whole Earth” “The Moon landers solar panels - do not provide enough power for the cameras” Hilarious - The Chinese Space Agency is even more of a joke than NASA‼️

ISRO has successfully demonstrated the use of their RRM-TD Walking Robotic Arm!! 🦾 This makes ISRO the 5th space agency to operate a robotic arm in space! 🇮🇳 RRM-TD was launched on PSLV-C60 as one of the non-separating payloads on board POEM-4. It can be considered as an ancestor of the type of robotic arms that will be used on the Bharatiya Antariksh Station! The success of this demonstration validates their technology and will allow ISRO to move forward with the development of more advanced versions of this for use on BAS. Video of the demonstration 👇

Day 057, orbit 0886 – Fun timelapse of the last activities on the Cygnus NG-23 cargo spacecraft before it was detached from the Station and released into Earth orbit using the Canadarm2 robotic arm. Jessica Meir set up the equipment used to depressurise Cygnus in advance of its departure, and I configured the hardware that enabled Cygnus to be disconnected from Unity before closing the spacecraft’s hatch! The next Cygnus cargo ship, NG-24, launched earlier today! #εpsilon • European Space Agency • European Space Agencyspaceflight • International Space Station • NASA • NASA_Johnson • Northrop Grumman

🚨EARTH’S ORBIT IS NOW A COSMIC JUNKYARD This was Earth 70 years ago. Here’s Earth today. In under a century, we’ve filled orbit with flying trash. More than 34,000 objects over 10 centimeters now circle the planet. Old satellites. Rocket parts. Even a glove an astronaut dropped in 1965. They’re all moving at 27,000 kilometers per hour. That’s fast enough to turn a speck of paint into a bullet. Space is getting crowded…. Source: European Space Agency

Europe has been shy in coming to terms with the legitimate role cooperative space plays in our security and in our geostrategic independence. It is now quite clear, however, that Europe’s space and defence autonomy has become one of our Continent’s foremost priorities. Andrius Kubilius and I have a plan for a coordinated effort to increase European space resilience from space. Our vision is long-term, structured, bold and an important step in permanently integrating security in our collective space efforts. The European Parliament and the European Commission, in collaboration with European Space Agency, organised the ‘General Assembly Defence, Space and Cybersecurity’ to promote dialogue between European and national decision-makers, and industry representatives in the context of the unprecedented geopolitical challenges that the European Union is facing.
