🚀Hera has reached Didymos!
Our GRASS gravimeter, developed with the Royal Observatory of Belgium, has arrived aboard Juventas, ready for the next milestones of 1st @esa 's planetary defence mission
🌍From Elche to Didymos. Two years in deep space, 197M km from home!
#HeraMission
At last ESA's Hera spacecraft for planetary defence has come close enough to resolve both bodies in the Didymos binary asteroid system separately - the smaller one was deflected by NASA's DART back in 2022 esa.int/Space_Safety/Hera/Fi…

De Elche al asteroide Apophis ☄️
Muy orgullosos de ver nuestro trabajo en @NatGeoEsp.
Don Quijote viajará con RAMSES para estudiar de cerca Apophis en uno de los encuentros astronómicos más extraordinarios de nuestro tiempo.

Currently speeding through space at 12 km/s, ESA’s Hera spacecraft is due to reach its target Dimorphos asteroid this November. But if an astronaut were magically teleported onto Hera, what would they see & what would it happen if they let themself fall? esa.int/Space_Safety/Hera/A_…

🚀 6,4 millones de euros para llevar tecnología española hasta el espacio.
@emxys , empresa del #PCUMH, desarrollará el CubeSat Don Quijote, que participará en una misión de la ESA para estudiar el asteroide Apophis en 2029.

The Incredible Adventures of the Hera Mission - episode 3 - this one covered the then imminent impact by NASA's DART mission with the Dimorphos asteroid to deflect its orbit (spoiler: it worked!) 🎆🪨To be continued... esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Video…

Step 1 in effective planetary defence is reconnaissance - meaning flying out to assess incoming asteroids ASAP.
ESA’s Ramses will break records for an asteroid mission, from design to arrival in 3.5 years. Our new project seeks out ways future missions might get even faster: esa.int/Enabling_Support/Pre…

Un día muy especial para todo el equipo de @emxys. Muchas gracias @DianaMorantR por la visita y por el apoyo al desarrollo de las capacidades espaciales de España. Seguimos trabajando para hacer posible la próxima generación de misiones de exploración espacial 🇪🇸 ☄️🛰️
Del talento de Elche al espacio 🚀
Hace no tanto, esto parecía ciencia ficción. Hoy la empresa ilicitana @emxys, nacida en la @UniversidadMH, liderará una misión de la @esa gracias al impulso del Gobierno de España y una inversión de 6,4M€.
🇪🇸 Por primera vez, España liderará una misión de aterrizaje sobre un cuerpo extraterrestre.

Asteroids regularly slam into Earth, but in 2022 a little bit of Earth slammed into an asteroid - in the shape of NASA's DART spacecraft hitting Dimorphos. This autumn ESA's Hera spacecraft reaches this same body to try and find out: could we save Earth from an incoming asteroid? #AsteroidDay
🛰️I'm currently speeding my way thru deep space to the Dimorphos🪨asteroid, the only Solar System body whose orbit has been shifted by human action - when NASA's DART spacecraft💥impacted it - to check what happened to it next! See where I am right now: whereis.space/hera/

Views of 2 new asteroids! The Hera team congratulates @JAXA_en 's Hayabusa2 for flying by 450-m diameter Torifune (l) and @CNSA_en's Tianwen2 for arriving at tiny 18-m Kamoʻoalewa (r).
Hera reaches Dimorphos this autumn - the 1st asteroid to have been changed by human action!

🚨 ¡Hito histórico para la industria espacial española! 🇪🇸🛰️
La @esa acaba de confirmar el contrato para la misión #Ramses y la tecnología de @EMXYS será clave: ¡sus sistemas aterrizarán en el asteroide Apophis!
EL DÍA 7 DE JULIO A LAS 16.30 h charlo en Fuera de Órbita con Francisco de Quirós, CTO de EMXYS, para conocer todos los detalles de este hito.
