Almost astronauts 👩🏻‍🚀

Some of our members got to visit ESA ESTEC for the REXUS/BEXUS selection workshop to present our TEDD proposal - and of course we couldn't leave without taking a look inside the model of the ISS' Columbus module 🛰️

If you've been keeping a close eye on our stories, you probably caught that we had another round of Interest Drinks this week at the Aerospace Innovation Hub at the TU Delft this week! Those attending had the chance to learn more about our goals with the Tumbleweed Experiment to Demonstrate Deployment and chat with our members over snacks and drinks 🍻

Heard little news from Perseverance & Co. recently

Heard little news from Perseverance & Co. recently? Every two years, Mars' and Earth's positions align in a way that places the Sun between the two planets. This so-called solar conjunction significantly impacts how we can communicate to and from Mars. When the Sun sits between us and the Red Planet, hot, ionized gases can interfere with the radio signals, posing a risk to communication. Therefore, Perseverance remains parked in the same place for the duration of the solar conjunction. This image shows Perseverance's parking spot, from where it is ready to take up commands again in a few days.

A whirlwind of shapes and colors... 💫

Due to their strong gravitational forces, galaxies group together in larger clusters. This image is a composite of data from the James Webb Space Telescope and its predecessor Hubble. It shows the galaxy cluster MACS0416, around 4.3 billion light-years away.

Hubble's wavelength range best detects visible light, which shows nearby galaxies with younger stars in a blue light. The more distant galaxies appear redder, better viewed in Webb's infrared wavelengths.

Gravity is also what causes some objects to appear as streaks through the image: As the light travels through the universe from its source to a telescope's lens, very massive objects along the way distort the light's path.

Swipe for some closeups!
