This video shows Jezero crater, the landing site of the @NASA Mars 2020 Perseverance rover on the Red Planet, based on images from ESA’s Mars Express mission. The planned landing area is marked with an orange ellipse. Scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 30 July 2020 on board an Atlas V rocket, the Perseverance rover will land on 18 February 2021 in Jezero crater. An impact crater with a diameter of about 45 km, Jezero is located at the rim of the giant Isidis impact basin. Morphological evidence suggests that the crater once hosted a lake, some 3.5 billion years ago. Jezero possesses an inlet- and an outlet channel. The inlet channel discharges into a fan-delta deposit, containing water-rich minerals such as smectite clays. Scientists believe that the lake was relatively long lived because the delta may have required 1 to 10 million years to reach its thickness and size. Other studies conclude that the lake did not experience periods of important water-level fluctuations and that it was formed by a continuous surface runoff. This makes Jezero crater to a prime target for the search for potential signs of microbial life, because organic molecules are very well preserved in river deltas and lake sediments. A recent study of the ancient lakeshores, diverse minerals and violent volcanism of Jezero crater based on data from ESA’s Mars Express mission is available here: https://bit.ly/MarsExpressHelpsUncoverTheSecretsOfPerseveranceLandingSite The animation was created using an image mosaic made from four single orbit observations obtained by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express between 2004 and 2008. The mosaic combines data from the HRSC nadir and colour channels; the nadir channel is aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, as if looking straight down at the surface. The mosaic image was then combined with topography information from the stereo channels of HRSC to generate a three-dimensional landscape, which was then recorded from different perspectives, as with a movie camera, to render the flight shown in the video.

Discovered in March 2020, Comet NEOWISE became visible to the naked eye in July, gifting observers in the northern hemisphere with one of the most scenic comets in over 20 years. The comet, which is on an almost parabolic orbit and had its closest approach to the Sun, or perihelion, in early July, reaches its closest point to Earth on 22–23 July, before zipping back towards the outer Solar System. In this video, ESA Research Fellows Rachana Bhatawdekar and Sandor Kruk share their experience and explain how to observe and image the comet in the sky. Next, ESA Research Fellow Charlotte Götz tells us more about comets and their tails, and how ESA’s future Comet Interceptor mission, to be launched in 2028, is going to wait for such a ‘great’ comet that has not been discovered yet. The spacecraft will sit in a parking orbit around the Lagrange point L2, 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth, until an interesting ‘pristine’ comet visits the inner Solar System. It will then intersect the comet's orbit to study its nucleus, gases, dust, and plasma environment.

ESA-Astronaut Matthias Maurer trainiert momentan am Johnson Space Center der @NASA in Houston, USA. In diesem Video führt er uns durch das Training für einen Außenbordeinsatz mit NASA-Kollegen in einem 12 m tiefen Pool, genannt Neutral Buoyancy Facility (NBL). Matthias reiste zusammen mit seinem ESA-Kollegen Thomas Pesquet aus Europa nach Houston. Thomas ist bereits zur Internationalen Raumstation geflogen, während Matthias für seine erste Mission zur Raumstation trainiert. Die Missionstermine müssen noch bestätigt werden, aber als ESA-Astronauten für die nächsten Flüge arbeiten die beiden daran sicherzustellen, dass sie vollständig ausgebildet und bereit sind. Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation mit COVID-19 ist das gesamte Personal verpflichtet, während des Trainings besondere Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu beachten. Dazu gehört das Tragen einer Maske - wie im Video zu sehen. Matthias wird seine Ausbildung in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten in Houston fortsetzen. Wir werden mit weiterem Filmmaterial über seine Ausbildung und seine Erfahrungen berichten.

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer has been training at @NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA. In this video, he walks us through training for a spacewalk with NASA colleagues in the 12 m deep Neutral Buoyancy Facility (NBL). Matthias travelled to Houston from Europe with fellow ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet. Thomas has flown to the International Space Station before, while Matthias is training for his first Space Station mission. Mission dates are yet to be confirmed, but as the next two ESA astronauts in line for flights, the pair are working to ensure they fully trained and ready. Due to the current situation with COVID-19, all personnel are required to adhere to special safety precautions while training. These include wearing a mask – as seen in the clip. Matthias will continue his training in Houston over the next weeks and months. Stay tuned for further footage of his training and experiences.

El astronauta de la ESA Matthias Maurer ha estado entrenando en el Centro Espacial Johnson de la @NASA en Houston, EEUU. En este vídeo nos guía a través de su entrenamiento para un paseo espacial en el Laboratorio de Flotación Neutral (o NBL por sus siglas en inglés), a 12 metros de profundidad, con los colegas de la NASA. Matthias viajó a Houston desde Europa con su compañero de la ESA Thomas Pesquet. Thomas ha volado antes a la Estación Espacial Internacional, mientras que Matthias se está entrenando para su primera misión espacial. Las fechas de sus vuelos están aún por confirmar, pero al ser los dos próximos astronautas de la ESA en volar al espacio, el dúo trabaja para completar su entrenamiento y estar totalmente preparados. Debido a la situación actual con el COVID-19, todo el personal debe tomar precauciones especiales de seguridad durante el entrenamiento. Estas incluyen el uso de una máscara, tal y como se ve en el vídeo.

ESA’s Solar Orbiter spacecraft has sent back its first images of the Sun. At 77 million kilometres from the surface, this is the closest a camera has ever flown to our nearest star. The pictures reveal features on the Sun’s exterior that have never been seen in detail before. Launched on 10 February 2020, the spacecraft completed its commissioning phase and first close-approach to the Sun in mid-June. Since then, science teams have been processing and examining this early data. The spacecraft is currently in its cruise phase, on its way to Venus, but will eventually get even closer to the Sun.

Join ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. In part one of this video series, the two astronauts compare notes on their journey to date as they prepare for missions to the International Space Station. Though mission details and dates are yet to be confirmed, Thomas and Matthias are the next two European astronauts in line for flights. Thomas has flown to the International Space Station before, while Matthias will fly for the first time. Prior to a mission, astronauts train extensively to ensure they are familiar with the vast array of systems and operations on board. In this video, the pair discuss how training for a second mission differs from a first mission, the challenges of training during a global pandemic, and how flying to the Station on US commercial crew vehicles may differ from flying on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. This video was filmed in June 2020. At that time, the platform Thomas and Matthias were standing on – in front of a full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station – was the only place at NASA’s JSC that they could interact without face masks. Despite this, the pair were required to maintain social distance at all times as a precaution.
