Arianespace Space Rider Spacecraft

Space Rider is an uncrewed robotic laboratory about the size of two minivans. After launch on Vega-C, this reusable spacecraft will stay in low orbit for about two months, conducting research in microgravity or observing the Earth or deep space. At the end of its mission, Space Rider will return to Earth with its payloads to be unloaded and refurbished for another flight.

In the last week the Director of ESA has called for Europe to stop mucking around and actually develop a human spaceflight capability, my words not his. Europe has one of the best funded space programs in the world and yet decades on from flying its first astronaut ESA has yet to develop a way to launch crew without relying on the USA or Russia. But in the 1980's they spent a lot of money and time trying to develop a small spaceplane named Hermes, which ultimately failed after the International space station removed any need for independent access to space. A great deal of the Hermes imagery is from this site: http://www.capcomespace.net/dossiers/espace_europeen/hermes/index.htm The Kerbal Hermes spacecraft is part of the KNES mod https://spacedock.info/mod/1470/Knes Follow me on Twitter for more updates: https://twitter.com/DJSnM I have a discord server where I regularly turn up: https://discord.gg/zStmKbM If you really like what I do you can support me directly through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/scottmanley

With the launch of the 2021 Young Graduate Trainee recruitment campaign, we’ve been talking to some of our current YGTs about the work they do, to give you a flavour of life at ESA and an idea of the range of opportunities currently on offer. This week, we chatted with Sofia Sinopoli, structural engineer from Italy. Sofia is working as a Young Graduate Trainee in the mechanical and propulsion engineering section for the Vega and Space Rider programmes.

We strive for the future of Europe in space and key to this endeavour is maintaining access to space. This objective is accomplished by supporting the development of new launch vehicles and next year will be an important year: Vega-C and Ariane 6 will fly for the first time. Vega-C is an enhanced version of Europe’s current Vega, with increased power and capacity. Ariane 6 is Europe’s next heavy-lift launcher which will replace Ariane 5. With Ariane 6 the approach is evolving for the assembly and production processes, and also in the sharing of responsibilities between us and Industry. In parallel to preparing a new generation of launchers, we are also working on its first reusable spacecraft, Space Rider, that will fly on top of a Vega-C and which should be confirmed at Space19+, the Ministerial Conference in Seville in November 2019. Already, the future of European Space transportation is clearly visible in Kourou where Vega-C and Ariane 6 are step-by-step becoming a reality. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

This animation shows the launch of our reusable lifting body called Space Rider atop Vega-C. On reaching low-Earth orbit, Space Rider will serve as an unmanned high-tech space laboratory operating for periods longer than two months. It offers an array of orbit altitudes and inclinations for a large variety of experiments and demonstrations in microgravity. After each mission Space Rider will return to Earth to land on ground to return its cargo before minimal refurbishment for its next mission.

Soon, IXV, Europe's Intermediate Experimental Vehicle, will be launched into space on a Vega launcher from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. A short but crucial mission to advance Europe's ambition to return autonomously from space. More about IXV: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Launchers/IXV
