ESA Euronews: Accidents and Asteroids
How real is the threat of an asteroid hitting Earth, and is there anything we can do to prevent it from happening? Asteroid impacts are nothing new. Only last year, one exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia injuring 1500 people and damaging some 7,000 buildings. "It was a pretty nasty event, luckily nobody was killed, but it just shows the sort of force that these things have," says Alan Harris, Senior Scientist, DLR Institute of Planetary Research Berlin. While there was surprise nobody saw it coming, the asteroid itself wasn't that big, measuring no more than 20 metres across. It was tricky to spot, arriving into Earth's atmosphere backlit by the Sun. In fact, much bigger threats lurk out in space. Just a few days ago another asteroid 270 metres wide passed near Earth. That kind of object could cause much more damage. "Something with the size of a hundred metres for instance, which still isn't very big, you're talking about something that would fit into a football field, and that could actually completely destroy an urban area in the worst case. So those are the things that we're really looking out for, and that we're trying to find ways to tackle," says Harris. Action to address the asteroid threat is already underway. Earlier in February, space scientists and policy experts from all the major space-faring nations held talks to create a framework for action.- published: 21 Feb 2014

Rosetta -- the story so far
Rosetta -- the story so far
This short movie tells the story of Rosetta's journey through the Solar System so far, through the voices of some of the many people involved in this exciting mission. ESA's Rosetta spacecraft launched in March 2004 and has since been chasing down comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where it will become the first space mission to orbit a comet, the first to attempt a landing on a comet's surface, and the first to follow a comet as it swings around the Sun. In the last ten years Rosetta has made 3 flybys of Earth and 1 of Mars, and passed by and imaged asteroids Steins and Lutetia. Operating on solar energy alone, in June 2011 Rosetta was placed into deep space hibernation as it cruised nearly 800 million kilometres from the warmth of the Sun, close to the orbit of Jupiter. On 20 January, Rosetta will wake up at 673 million kilometres from the Sun and about 9 million km from the comet, ready for the next leg of its epic adventure. Credits: ESA- published: 13 Jan 2014

The floodwaters of Mars
The floodwaters of Mars
Travel across the dramatic flood plains of Mars to celebrate ten years of imaging the Red Planet with Mars Express Ten years ago, on 14 January 2004, Mars Express took its very first images of Mars in colour and in 3D. To mark the occasion, the team produced a fly-through movie of the ancient flood plain Kasei Valles. The movie is based on the 67-image mosaic released as part of the ten-years-since-launch celebrations in June 2013. See http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Mars_Express/The_floodwaters_of_Mars. The scene spans 987 km in the north--south direction, 19--36°N, and 1550 km in the east--west direction (280--310°E). It covers 1.55 million square kilometres, an area equivalent to the size of Mongolia. Kasei Valles is one of the largest outflow channel systems on Mars, created during dramatic flood events. From source to sink, it extends some 3000 km and descends 3 km. Kasei Valles splits into two main branches that hug a broad island of fractured terrain -- Sacra Mensa -- rising 2 km above the channels that swerve around it. While weaker materials succumbed to the erosive power of the fast-flowing water, this hardier outcrop has stood the test of time. Slightly further downstream, the flood waters did their best to erase the 100 km-wide Sharonov crater, crumpling its walls to the south. Around Sharonov many small streamlined islands form teardrop shapes rising from the riverbed as water swept around these natural obstacles. The Planetary Science and Remote Sensing Group at Freie Universität Berlin produced the movie. The processing of the High Resolution Stereo Camera image data was carried out at the DLR German Aerospace Center. Credit: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin (G. Neukum) / Music: Crabtambour- published: 14 Jan 2014

Philae touch down
Philae touch down
Visualisation of the deployment of the Philae lander from Rosetta at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. Rosetta will come to within 2.5 km of the comet's surface to deploy Philae, which will then take around 2 hours to reach the surface. Because of the comet's extremely low gravity, a landing gear will absorb the small forces occurring during landing while ice screws in the probe's feet and a harpoon system will lock the probe to the surface. At the same time a thruster on top of the lander will push it down to counteract the impulse of the harpoon imparted in the opposite direction. Once it is anchored to the comet, the lander will begin its primary science mission, based on its 64-hour initial battery lifetime. Then it will use solar cells to recharge and attempt to operate for several further weeks to months, depending on the activity of the comet and how quickly the solar cells are covered in dust.

Rosetta orbiting the comet
Rosetta orbiting the comet
Animation showing Rosetta orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and scanning its surface to make scientific measurements. The colours of the beams and their shape on the surface represent two different instruments imaging and analysing the comet. The Rosetta orbiter has a total of 11 instruments to study the characteristics and environment of the comet. Rosetta will take images of the comet at a variety of different wavelengths, will make measurements of its gravity, mass, density, internal structure, shape, and rotation, and will assess the properties its gaseous, dust-laden atmosphere, or coma. It will also probe the surrounding plasma environment and analyse how it interacts with the solar wind. Rosetta also carries a small lander, Philae, which will descend to the surface of the comet and make in situ measurements using its suite of 10 instruments. The animation is not to scale; comet 67P/CG is approximately 4 km wide and Rosetta is 32 m across including its solar arrays. It will conduct its scientific investigations at a range of altitudes.

Mars showcase
Mars showcase
From the highest volcano to the deepest canyon, from impact craters to ancient river beds and lava flows, this showcase of images from ESA's Mars Express takes you on an unforgettable journey across the Red Planet. Mars Express was launched on 2 June 2003 and arrived at Mars six-and-a-half months later. It has since orbited the planet nearly 12 500 times, providing scientists with unprecedented images and data collected by its suite of scientific instruments. The data have been used to create an almost global digital topographic model of the surface, providing a unique visualisation and enabling researchers to acquire new and surprising information about the evolution of the Red Planet. The images in this movie were taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera and the video was released by the DLR German Aerospace Center as part of the ten years of Mars Express celebrations in June 2013. The music has been created by Stephan Elgner of DLR's Mars Express planetary cartography team. DLR developed and is operating the stereo camera.

ESA Euronews: Gaia: trazando el mapa de la vía láctea
Si alzamos la vista hacia el cielo en una noche despejada podremos contemplar de un vistazo varios miles de estrellas. Sin embargo, más allá, escondidas en la oscuridad, existen millones, apenas visibles, distantes y misteriosas... Para entender nuestra galaxia, en primer lugar tenemos que cartografiarla, es decir,trazar un mapa de ella. Para hacerlo, la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) ha lanzado un satélite capaz de escanear el cielo con una nueva y poderosa mirada:Gaia. Gaia creará un detallado mapa en 3D de la Vía Láctea, algo nunca antes visto en la historia de la Astronomía. "La precisión sobre la posición de las estrellas será mucho mayor a la estimación que podemos hacer desde el suelo: al menos mil veces superior", explica el astrofísico Laurent Chemin. La ciencia de catalogar y cartografíar las estrellas, conocida como astrometría, data de los albores de la civilización. El primero en hacerlo fue el griego Hipparcos, que obtuvo la posición de un millar de estrellas y describió su movimiento en el cielo.- published: 29 Oct 2013
