Wenn die deutsche Ingenieurskunst in diesem Tempo weiterentwickelt, dann bringt sie in 100 Jahren den ersten Satelliten erfolgreich in eine Umlaufbahn.

Bis dahin hat #ElonMusk, in zehn Dekaden bereits #Presidentof theUnitedStates of Mars, den Orbit mit #Starlink-Satelliten vollgetackert.

Also, es gab da mal eine europäische #Trägerrakete, die angeblich ganz gut funktioniert haben soll. Wie hieß die noch? #Ariane.

Warum sehen Raketen eigentlich immer aus wie Tampons?

As the #US cuts off satellite imagery sharing with #Ukraine, Europe succesfully launches a new military observation satellite on the first Ariane 6 rocket (as Musk's starship explodes again).

We may be behind, but we will catch up, because we must.

Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket successfully deployed a French spy satellite in its first fully operational launch on Thursday, completing a return to space for a continent facing questions over its role amid a security rift with the United States.

TIL: The user manual for an #Ariane 6 #rocket has 171 pages. https://ariane.group/app/uploads/sites/4/2024/10/Mua-6_Issue-2_Revision-0_March-2021.pdf

I just unpacked a "VW Charger. Travel" (essentially a mobile wall box for a VW electric car) which came with a user manual that has 342 pages.

Now I wonder whether I have the wrong vehicle.

@Iberomesornisexasperada Ya sé que es mejor que les confisquen los móviles en la Sala Hummus para el #EUCO, pero si sus sherpas les encontraron una tablet en la que ver el fútbol durante la última Eurocopa, más vale que haya algo de compol con 2 o 3 jefes de gobierno acurrucados en torno a la retransmisión en directo del lanzamiento #Ariane. O aún mejor, del video de los Rafales que la acompañan .

Hallo #Raumfahrt -Interessierte, habemus datum: Morgen am 6. März um 17:24 CET (13:24 Ortszeit) soll die #Ariane6 in #Kourou weißen Rauch oder vielmehr Dampf ausstoßen und zu ihrem ersten kommerziellen Flug abheben.

Gleich mit einem dringend benötigten Französischen Aufklärungssatelliten. Das verdeutlicht die unterschiedliche Vorgehensweise gegenüber #SpaceX , deren achter Teststart für #Spaceship gestern auch verschoben werden musste.

A 'dysfunctional valve' was detected minutes before the scheduled launch on Monday of the rocket, which is to carry a French military satellite into space.
