Fly me to the Moon...

To this day, the Apollo program is one of NASA's most famous endeavors - both for its successes and failures. Our new series of space posts covers some of its biggest wins and losses. Swipe to learn more!

1,211 sols later... NASA's InSight Lander - short

1,211 sols later...

NASA's InSight Lander - short for "Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport" - landed on the Martian surface in November of 2018. Shortly after, it provided its first selfie, a mosaic showing off the lander's stunning set of instruments (first image). Over time, the sandy environment has covered the instruments, including the lander's solar panels, in a layer of dust. The second image shows the lander's state in late May of 2022 in a final selfie, after more than 1,200 sols of operation. This dust reduces the amount of power the solar panels can produce, meaning the robotic arm will resume its resting position. According to NASA, the remaining power will be used for the lander's seismometer, an instrument measuring marsquakes. In this state, InSight will likely be able to continue operation until its final signal in December.

Last week, we had the opportunity to represent Tea

Last week, we had the opportunity to represent Team Tumbleweed at the Long Night of Research at the Technology and Research Center in Wiener Neustadt. We even got to show off the real star of our team - the Pink Lady prototype! Thank you to Linda, our Vienna location representative and Prototeam vice lead, for making sure everything ran smoothly from our side. We had a lovely time exchanging stories and ideas with people of all ages!

Introducing Divya, one of our newest members to join Team Tumbleweed!
Divya's studies have taken her around the globe, from Saudi Arabia to India and now Austria. Here, she is working on her Master's thesis in Aerospace Engineering at the FH Wiener Neustadt. In Team Tumbleweed's Prototyping Team, Divya can put her knowledge into practice: one of her first tasks included designing a snaptor to be 3D printed using Fusion 360.

Outside of work, Divya enjoys creative endeavors, like painting, baking, and cooking. Her choice to pursue aerospace engineering comes from her biggest inspiration: Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin to go to space. Welcome to the team, Divya!
