#Gaia’s end of life: A Legacy That Will Guide Future Explorers 🔥On 27 March 2025, #ESA’s Gaia spacecraft was officially send into retirement after more than a decade of reshaping our understanding of the Milky Way. 🌌 Though its journey has ended, its impact on astronomy will last for generations. Gaia’s Lasting Contributions: 🌠 Mapped nearly two billion stars, providing the most detailed 3D map of our galaxy 💫 Discovered evidence of past galactic mergers, new star clusters, exoplanets, and black holes ☄️ Tracked millions of quasars, asteroids, and comets, revolutionizing space science Its data now supports future missions, including ESA’s Euclid mission (with contribution of LSE Space). Gaia’s mission may have ended, but its discoveries will continue guiding scientists and space explorers for decades. A huge shoutout to our employees involved in the mission operations: Lorenzo Maria Gagliardini and María de la Cruz García González (She/Her)! #Gaia #ESA #LSEspace #SSC #SSCspace #spacexploration Picture: ESA - C.

We are involved in some of the most exciting European space missions such as Copernicus, Galileo, ESA Earth observation and scientific missions, or the Columbus laboratory on the European section of the International Space Station (ISS).🚀💫 Be it Earth observations, telecommunications, navigation, interplanetary, astronomical, or manned spaceflights, and have expertise for all project phases. We can support any space mission. Read more https://lnkd.in/d9pFXJfh

🛰️ #Hera completes its Mars flyby! Full steam towards Didymos!   On 12 March, the Hera spacecraft flew by the red planet as part its cruise phase through deep space, carefully designed by ESA’s Flight Dynamics team.   By coming as close as 5000 km away from Mars, the planet’s gravity shifted the spacecraft’s trajectory towards its final destination, the Didymos binary asteroid. This manoeuvre shortened its journey time by many months and saved a substantial amount of fuel.   “Our Mission Analysis and Flight Dynamics team at #ESOC in Germany did a great job of planning the gravity assist,” says Caglayan Guerbuez, ESA’s Hera Spacecraft Operations Manager.   “Especially as they were asked to fine-tune the manoeuvre to take Hera close to Deimos – which created quite some extra work for them!”   Launched on 7 October 2024, Hera is on its way to visit the first asteroid to have had its orbit altered by human action. By gathering close-up data about the Dimorphos asteroid, which was impacted by NASA’s DART spacecraft in 2022, Hera will help turn asteroid deflection into a well understood and potentially repeatable technique.   📸 (2) Hera’s Hyperscout H hyperspectral imager: it observes in a range of colours beyond the limits of the human eye, in 25 visible and near-infrared spectral bands to characterise surface materials. 📸 (3) Hera’s science team, including Sir Brian May, celebrate as the first images come in.

🚀 ESA’s Hera Mission Successfully Completes Mars Flyby! ✨ Yesterday, on 12 March 2025, ESA’s Hera mission made a successful gravity-assist flyby of Mars, setting it on a faster, fuel-efficient path to the Didymos binary asteroid system. Along the way, Hera flew to within 300 km of Deimos, Mars’s smaller and more mysterious moon. 🛰 Using Mars’s gravity, ESA’s Flight Dynamics Team expertly adjusted Hera’s course without using extra fuel—an impressive feat of precision engineering. 📡 This flyby brings Hera one step closer to its mission of studying asteroid deflection, an important step for protecting Earth’s future. 🖥️ Watch live today: Images from Hera's Mars flyby: https://lnkd.in/drTGjN-Z   A huge thanks for the support to these operations at ESOC to our employees Ritchie Kay, Gabriel Mihail, Johannes Bauer, Lisa Savarieau, Anna Schiavo, Lorenzo Maria Gagliardini, Klara Anneliese Spieker!
