@SolarOrbiterMAG @NWSSWPC SWA PAS and EAS low latency data downloaded during todays pass. Unfortunately HIS not on (missing panels in the middle). Solar wind speed ~600 km/s for strong southward field period, so could indeed be geoeffective if it passes Earth in the next few hours.
#OTD 1 year ago, @esa/@NASA @esaSolarOrbiter launched on a ULA #AtlasV 411 rocket to study the ☀️ up close! #WeAreAllSolarOrbiters #ExplorationEnabled Relive the launch! 🚀 📸:flickr.com/photos/ulalaun… 📹:youtube.com/watch?v=Em7YbF…
COVID-19 might have a high recovery rate, but are there any long-term impacts? Neuroscientist Dr. Adrian Owen @Comadork explains the potential impact the virus could have on the brains of patients who tested positive
Plasma composition on the Sun and around the spacecraft, first data and images by @esaSolarOrbiter @esa @nasa #TheSunUpClose
I already have enough trouble with my memory, so I’ll follow my brothers advice and continue to try not to catch the corona virus!
It was a pleasure to speak to your news anchor this morning about our study of COVID-19 and cognition @WesternU with @DrRickSwartz @Sunnybrook. Thousands of survivors have already signed up, but we would like to hear from more at covidbrainstudy.com
#ICYMI Our #SolarOrbiter mission just released its first images, revealing never-before seen features on the Sun! Enjoy the stunning views and find out more in these interviews with @ESASolarOrbiter scientists Daniel Müller & Anik De Groof: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #TheSunUpClose
I learnt taking part in the press conference that these campfires are the size of a European country - so I guess we can look forward to sorting how many are Luxembourgs and how many are Germanys? And whether we can detect their effects at @ESASolarOrbiter! #TheSunUpClose
The first images from @ESASolarOrbiter, taken using instruments built @MSSLSpaceLab @uclmaps, reveal miniature solar flares, or ‘campfires’, near the surface of the Sun. No other spacecraft has taken images from such a close distance before! #TheSunUpClose ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/jul/…
Getting ready for my small part in this. I expect some stunning new images from colleagues on the remote sensing teams - and EUI in particular includes a major @MSSLSpaceLab contribution. But SWA and the other in situ instruments have crucial roles downstream #TheSunUpClose
Today is the day we all get to see... #TheSunUpClose Join us for an online briefing with #SolarOrbiter experts from Europe and the US, and stay tuned for the mission's first, unique views of the #Sun 08:00 EDT/14:00 CEST esawebtv.esa.int Details: esa.int/Science_Explor…
🛰️☀️📷 #TheSunUpClose ⬇️⬇️
Are you also curious about the first images from @ESASolarOrbiter? 📽️Watch the online briefing live on ESA Web TV 🗓️Thursday 16 July 08:00 EDT/13:00 BST/14:00 CEST 👉esawebtv.esa.int #TheSunUpClose Details: esa.int/Science_Explor…
How do you operate a spacecraft when its control room has to close? 🛰️ Read the story to find out how one of the most delicate instruments on @ESASolarOrbiter had to be controlled by a @MSSLSpaceLab team, led from a two-year old's nursery! 👇 #COVID19
#SolarOrbiter is undoubtedly the first mission whose instruments were completely commissioned from people's homes. Read the full story of commissioning a spacecraft amid #Covid19 . It's been a challenge for all involed, but now, we are ready for science! esa.int/Science_Explor…

We had to improvise a lot for commissioning our @esa & @NASASun spacecraft from home! This is a first! Here is @SOSWAPI using his son’s playroom.

More @BBCNews from my brother @SOSWAPI on the @ESASolarOrbiter's big trip around the sun. Delighted to hear that "mission control" has been moved to my youngest nephew's nursery, tho also concerned that control may end up in the wrong (tiny) pair of hands youtu.be/2g29nYoTwCI
“I’ve been commanding instruments from a spacecraft the other side of Venus from…..my son’s nursery”. Awesome @BBCWorld interview with my brother @SOSWAPI describing how he and his team are still managing to do extraordinary science during the #pandemic. youtube.com/watch?v=8gGDN9…
The @ESASolarOrbiter mission, which is carrying @UCL-built instruments to study the Sun up close, is 77 million km from the Sun's surface, half the distance between Earth and the Sun. No one has ever been closer with a camera! @MSSLSpaceLab @UCLmaps ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/jun/…
In the next few days @ESASolarOrbiter will pass through the tail of Comet #ATLAS while carrying @UCL instruments. Noticed by Prof Geraint Jones @einionyn @MSSLSpaceLab, this is the first unplanned spacecraft comet pass to have been predicted in advance ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/may/…
We submitted this proposal for @ESASolarOrbiter on Jan 10th 2008 (my birthday!). Today at 1025 BST we achieved the milestone of operating all 3 SWA sensors together in science mode for the first time, somewhere out there inside the orbit of Venus!
Extremely pleased and excited to report that the SWA HIS team have just achieved ‘first light’ for the sensor. All 3 of the SWA scientific sensors have now successfully made measurements of the solar wind passing the @ESASolarOrbiter spacecraft. Congrats to the team!
If there’s one thing we should all learn from this pandemic, it’s that #ScienceRocks #StayAtHome #GoScience #WesternU youtube.com/watch?v=3ZYAMn…
