esa: Apologies to anyone who can't access our #volare streaming on http://bit.ly/SYk8jn - alternative is NASA TV http://1.usa.gov/ZilIBP T-10
なんかトラブって打ち上げ配信できないESA涙目。こういうのほんと運営側も視聴者側も全員悲しいｗ

RosettaMIDAS: an AFM is not a typical space instrument - there has only been one before me, part of MECA, onboard @MarsPhoenix http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/science_meca.php
ロゼッタとマズフェニに共通点だと…

ESAHerschel: Where is @ESAHerschel? It is still moving steadily away from the Earth as planned. It is 1.0261AU from the Sun & 1.955 million km from Earth
ESAHerschel: If you want to find @ESAHerschel, it is in the constellation of Libra, moving steadily south towards Scorpius, around magnitude 19-20.

ESAHerschel: Not so long to go now. One more SPIRE test and some telescope pointing and tracking tests plus clean-up to go before the final switch-off.
ESAHerschel: Herschel is moving away from Earth at 75m/s. Signals currently take 6 seconds to reach Earth from the satellite.

Planck: Goodbye to @ESAHerschel, which is now almost 2 million km from Earth and slowly drifting away at 75m/s. It's been a pleasure :-)
おおお…（涙　ドライ。特にプランクが。だがそれがいい。
