英語の授業のプレゼン鋭意作成中、テーマがなんでもおkなのでESAやヨーロッパ宇宙機の紹介。飛行機からチラ見えのSOFIAが可愛過ぎて手が止まる。

11月9日はVEXの誕生日です。

Philae2014: 4 years ago today, my mothership and I were (wrongly) identified as a Earth-threatening asteroid. Today a real 'roid flies past safely!
あーー!ロゼッタが!小惑星に誤認された日!2007年の11月8日!ヨーロッパ時間だと8日よな?

NASA: NASA plans an early Orion flight test in 2014 to gather development data. Check it the details! http://go.nasa.gov/uThDs1
NASAの有人宇宙飛行に対する気合いが見え始め。オリオン宇宙船。

MarsRovers: Countdown to liftoff! Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission to Mars is scheduled to launch today 12:16pm PT. Watch live: http://spaceflightnow.com/live/
ああやっぱりフォボス・グルント打ち上げだね。なんかいきなり出てきたように見えるわー

CassiniSaturn: New pic of Tethys. Can you see huge Odysseus Crater top left, Ithaca Chasma scarps bottom right? http://1.usa.gov/sIw6RZ
テティスもでかい平たいクレーターがあるんだっけねえ…ミマスよろしく…

ESAHerschel: Herschel will observe 2005 YU55 at 14:53UT, as it moves away from the Earth. When closest to Earth it was too close to the Sun fo us to see.
ESAHerschel: This observation has required some very careful calculation & scheduling fo allow asteroid and Herschel to meet at just the right place.

お疲れ様。ド至近距離の観測って赤外線組が花形となる気がする。だって短波長組はそうそうねえ…

Planck: I hope the guys operating Phobos-Grunt can fix the problem and send it on its way to Mars. We wouldn't want the Curse of Mars to reappear!
Planck: There'll be more Planck results out next year regarding the Milky Way and other galaxies. Watch this space!
Planck: A scientific conference about results from Planck and other observatories will be held in Bologna 13-17 Feb 2012 http://bit.ly/ts9wxO
Planck: Meanwhile, I hope @ESAHerschel's observations of 2005 YU55 go OK tomorrow - they sound very challenging!
Planck: Happy Birthday to my fellow @esa mission Venus Express - launched 6 years ago today ! (via @esascience)

プランクが、自分の事も含めてきれいに纏めてくれたので、全部転載してみた。VEXの誕生日祝いつき。ほんとこの子はできてるよ
