JAXA_jp: 地球観測衛星データの利用に関する協定の締結について http://goo.gl/fb/1Gu4d
ごっつい感じの話かと思ったら国内の話だった。

RosettaMIDAS: hey, I didn't know my mother(ship) was on here too! hi @ESA_Rosetta - looking forward to January next year and the big wake-up!
おい、ロゼッタ自身のアカウントあるんかい!機器名を冠したアカウントの方が元気だけど!母船アカ意味あるんか?1機で3アカとかハッブル並みの暴挙

NewHorizons2015: Our bird is designed to take data like a fire hose on its 6 month flyby of Pluto. So much data stored it'll take >1 year to get it all home!
フライバイ6ヶ月って半年間冥王星の周りくるくるしてるんだよな?普通に考えて。まさか一スイング6ヶ月という超スロー…ないか

ESAHerschel: The end of a historic mission. Some time after 1300CEST the @ESAHerschel mission will finally end, but not the science. Years of work still.
ESAHerschel: Four and a half years of post-Operations remain consolidating the @ESAHerschel data archive and then many years exploiting it to the full.

データ回収と同じかそれ以上の時間がデータ解析に費やされるのはよくある。そして追実験が必要と分かったときの涙目。
ESAHerschel: Lights out on the post-Operations phase of the Herschel mission is not until the end of 2017.
ESAHerschel: Until then there are years of recording and documenting Herschel knowledge so that it will not be lost as team members move on.

2017年。そのとき誰がいて誰がいないだろうね。SPICAとかどうなん。

esaoperations: Final command sent to @ESAHerschel today. Teams are a little sad around #ESOC - goodbye to a magnificent mission! #herschelend
esaoperations: Last thruster burn for @ESAHerschel today expected to run ~160mins, but with lost of uncertainty in remaining fuel. In any event #BurnToZero
Burn to zero…かっこいい。なにかのタイトルにどうぞ
esaoperations: Acquisition of signal w/ @ESAHerschel came at 12:52CEST as planned. Final communication pass now
esaoperations: Fuel pressure in @ESAHerschel dropping like a stone... (5.7bar) #ESOC #BurnToZero
esaoperations: Fuel in @ESAHerschel almost gone (no more thrust). Now switching to reaction wheel control; waiting for final command #ESOC #BurnToZero
esaoperations: As #ESOC flight team sent final shut-down commands, @ESAHerschel mission control system screamed alarms & warnings http://bit.ly/13NAU9b

ひぃ!アラームとかやめてー。なんか最期の最期で死に恐怖を感じたかのようだ。
