Buzztiger, 4 miesiące temu do esa w ESA Reveals Timeline for Final Push to Maiden Ariane 6 Flight

It’s been too long since we had an operational European launcher. I hope Vega C and A6 are available and reliable by the end of the year. There is quite a queue of new missions, several of them already had to be launched with SpaceX.

Buzztiger, 4 miesiące temu do esa w Australia Spent AUD $466,000 on ESA Astronaut Training

Some more information in the Guardian:

theguardian.com/…/australian-taxpayers-paid-46600…

There is currently no mission planned for her as Australia just paid the training cost when she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor.

Australia would also now have to pay for a ride to the ISS. The tourist ticket info I found was about 30 MUSD but that’s including the training I think.

she did not get selected into the ESA astronaut chor

Ah, a pity then. I wonder if she could reapply in a subsequent year?

Alternatively, I suppose there’s always a chance she could be hired by a company like Axiom or similar…

That is fascinating, I want to know, is there any way to prevent this during assembly? Even with extreme clean room protocols! Does it happen with other telescopes?! Down the rabbit hole, I must go.

Can anyone explain why the water freezes rather than boils away in the vacuum of space?

Great question!

You can joke about a German company using a beerkeg rocket, but they take their best VERY seriously.

Beerkeg rocket is a little funny, but RFA’s engine tests have been promising. Looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish.
