The Voyager 1 spacecraft celebrates 48 years in space today! After visiting Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 became the most distant human-made object on Feb 17, 1998. It is now more than 15.6 billion miles from the Sun, zooming through interstellar space. https://t.co/qbF8DFf1RA

Happy launchiversary, Voyager 1! 🥳 48 years ago – on September 5, 1977 – Voyager 1 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to study Jupiter and Saturn up close. Today, Voyager 1 is about 15 billion miles (25 billion km) from Earth – and still revealing secrets of the cosmos!

This snake-like robot is slithering into the future of exploration. It's called EELS and was developed at JPL with the goal of autonomously exploring hard-to-reach places throughout the solar system, like icy crevasses to deep craters. Happy #WorldSnakeDay! 🐍

L'Europa non investe poco in R&D, ma investe male, perchè politica e imprese hanno timore dell'innovazione e si muovono in ordine sparso. Il gap di investimenti rispetto agli USA è enorme nelle modalità: il budget federale di R&D in USA è 13x quello federale europeo, dove

Thank you for having host us onboard, it was really a pleasure, goodbye #OPSSAT 💫 #EXTREMAIOD

We’ve just received OPS-SAT’s final ever image. ❤️ It was taken off the southern coast of Australia at 22:15 UTC on 20 May. But every cloud has a silver lining. The OPS-SAT mission will come to an end tonight, but the OPS-SAT name will live on. More info soon. #OPSSATreentry

Ieri 2h45 per fare il tragitto casa #lavoro, praticamente quanto la durata totale di viaggio in un giorno normale. Tra l'altro ultimamente questi giorni normali scarseggiano nell'efficiente #lombardia

After the nozzle failure the on board guidance apparently had a contingency mode to handle the loss of one engine and continued to the landing. Compare this to Chandrayaan-2 and Luna 25 where the software was incapable of adapting to the situation.

Il messaggio del Presidente della Repubblica 🇮🇹 Sergio #Mattarella:

Our little baby is growing up.

Follow the @DART_Lab_Polimi to stay tuned with the latest research on deep-space exploration!

There’s nothing better than talking to kids about #space #engineering 🚀 Today we opened the doors of our lab to children and families. @polimi @AerospacePoliMI #festival #ingegneria

At the NAC science committee meeting, Suzanne Dodd of JPL shows this chart of the impacts of Artemis 1 on the Deep Space Network. The eight cubesat missions consumed nearly as much time as Orion itself; science missions and DSN maintenance lost lots of time.

The 6S CubeSat team from @polispacepolimi was selected for @ESA__Education's "Fly Your Satellite! Design Booster"! For 18 months, ESA specialists will guide them up to the final design review. The 6S team can't wait to get started! 👉More at https://t.co/5ShE4vBact 🖼️credits: ESA

Quota 103, l'aumento delle accise sui carburanti e dei pedaggi autostradali. Sono state queste le priorità del governo Meloni. E i giovani? Tanta retorica sul futuro del nostro Paese, nessuna azione concreta per realizzarlo. Erano "pronti", dicevano, ma avevamo capito male noi.

Massive news for #6S #CubeSat #Team☀️ 🛰️ We've been selected for the ESA FYS! Design Booster pilot programme!! An incredible #space journey has just begun and hard work will continue! Huge congrats to all! @polispacepolimi @AerospacePoliMI @polimi @ESA__Education
