A piece of paper stating that the local cat is safe and that they are installing a heated outside cat house for him.

"Toch meer Nederlands geld voor ruimtevaart: 'Noordwijk dreigde te verdwijnen'"

-> "Het kabinet trekt toch weer meer geld uit voor Europese ruimtevaart. Vorige maand nam Nederland zich nog voor om een kwart minder geld in te leggen voor de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA."

It is a pitty that ESA, ESTEC etc are exploring space, but not the fediverse

• Straßennamen wie Pluto, Jupiter und Ceres.
• Siedlung in Noordwijk, Niederlande, nahe dem ESTEC.
• Eine „Milchstraße“ durch das Viertel.

#bookspotting on the bus to #ESTEC today morning: a younger colleague engrossed in "Leviathan Wakes", the first book in the expanse series.

Also someone reading an unknown (Portuguese possibly? But I may be wrong - it's not Spanish and not French, I think) book on their phone.

Seems like a good day to drink my one bottle of Parabolic Pale Ale, brewed by my friend @DetlefKroeze for the 2024 #ESTEC Open Day, with a label designed by another good friend, @Merlyn 🙇‍♂️

And very tasty it is too – Prost! 🍻

(Note the other elixir to the left – also made using brewer’s yeast, that one’s for breakfast 🙂)

A large beer glass filled with golden ale with a white foam head standing next to the empty bottle it came from. The label on the bottle has a person in a blue coverall floating in microgravity beneath a plane. The writing says Parabolic Pale Ale. There is an out of focus jar of Tesco yeast extract to the left.

🛰️ #Hyperspectral2024: Getting together with the global spectroscopy community!

Our #EnMAP experts, Tobias Hank & Stefanie Steinhauser, attended the 3rd Workshop on Intl. Cooperation in Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy at #ESA's #ESTEC in the Noordwijk (NL), connecting with #RemoteSensing experts from all across the Globe 🌍

🌾 They presented a poster on using #spectroscopy & #MachineLearning to map nitrogen in crop canopies — a key for more sustainable #agriculture.

Bye, #Nederlands, country of #windmills and two days of not actually experiencing rain despite very different weather forecasts.

On the road 🚙

Home from Edinburgh last night & today involves a 600km drive from Heidelberg to Noordwijk, which I’m halfway through.

Heading to ESA’s #ESTEC for an event tomorrow celebrating the tenth anniversary of the landing of Philae on Comet 67P/C-G, one of many highlights of the iconic Rosetta mission.

Will be good to see many friends & colleagues again, & the bike is in the car, so weather permitting, I’ll get some flatland cycling in too 🚴‍♂️👍

"Space-made weld scrutinised in ESA lab"

"ESA engineers have focused microscopes, hardness testers and an X-ray computer aided tomography machine onto a special aluminium weld just a single centimetre across – the historic result of the very first autonomous welding to be performed in space, and the first ESA has been involved with."

Afgelopen zondag was @MarcelJan bij de #ESA Open Day van #ESTEC in Noordwijk. Als je er nog nooit geweest bent, het is zeer de moeite waard. De deuren van dit centrum gaan open, inclusief het satelliet testcentrum. Er zijn gewoonlijk tal van astronauten, er zijn lezingen en je kunt vragen stellen aan ESA medewerkers die aan ruimtemissies werken.
