Here comes the Sun .

Metis was switched on and everything is fine. The first images of the solar corona are expected by mid-March.
An innovative coronagraph: Metis is designed to provide the first ever simultaneous imaging of the off-limb solar corona in visible and in narrow-band ultraviolet light.
This observations will enable us to diagnose, with unprecedented temporal coverage and spatial resolution, the structures and dynamics of the full corona and its features, finally disentangling their intrinsic evolution from effects of solar rotation.
The data gathered by Metis will allow scientists to completely characterize remotely the two most important plasma components of the corona and the solar wind (electrons and protons) and answer fundamental questions about the origins of the fast and slow wind, the sources of solar energetic particles, and the eruption and early changes in coronal mass ejections.

The latest Cygnus cargo vessel has been successfully launched from NASAs Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia.

Cygnus, now in orbit, is scheduled to be captured by the stations robotic arm at about 4:05 a.m. Eastern Feb. 18.

The new EUTELSAT KONNECT satellite is a jewel of advanced space technology Jean-Loïc Galle, Thales Alenia Space CEO, said. It will play a lead role in bridging the digital divide in Africa & in Europe .

The all-electric EUTELSAT KONNECT telecommunications satellite was successfully launched yesterday by Arianespace from the Guiana Space Center, Europes Spaceport in French Guiana. EUTELSAT KONNECT was built by Thales Alenia Space, acting as prime contractor for Eutelsat Communications. From geostationary orbit, this satellite will provide large-scale coverage of high-speed Internet markets across Africa and Europe.
.
Operational this autumn, EUTELSAT KONNECT will offer a throughput capacity of 75 Gbps, and provide high-speed Internet access up to 100 Mbps for both companies and individuals. In Africa, it will also be used in conjunction with public Wi-Fi terminals so that several users can share Internet access, which will be marketed as coupons that can be paid using a mobile phone.
.
Key to Eutelsats growth strategy based on connectivity, EUTELSAT KONNECT will take a lead role in bridging the digital divide within Africa and Europe. The program will shift into a higher gear in 2022 with the presence of the EUTELSAT KONNECT VHTS (very high throughput satellite), currently under construction by Thales Alenia Space.

15 years ago Huygens probe landed on Saturns moon, Titan

#OTD in 2005 the Huygens probe landed on Saturn's enigmatic moon.

Fifteen years ago, Europe celebrated the success of an exceptional mission, still the only one of its kind: a landing on Titan, Saturn's enigmatic moon, at a far greater distance than any atmospheric probe had ever traveled at the time. The European Space Agency (ESA) had originally selected Thales Alenia Space in 1991 to lead a team of companies from throughout Europe. They rose to the challenge. The Huygens probe, attached to an orbiter, had lifted off on October 15, 1997, and landed smoothly on Titan on January 14, 2005, after a voyage lasting seven years, giving the international scientific community a veritable plethora of scientific information. A bountiful harvest for a high-risk mission

All data gathered by Huygens during its descent and from the surface of Titan were transmitted to the Cassini orbiter. To pick up this invaluable data, the orbiter pointed its 4-meter-diameter high-gain antenna, built by Thales Alenia Space as part of the Italian space agencys mission contribution, towards Titan. When Cassini lost contact as it slipped below the horizon of the landing site, the probe kept transmitting signals, which were picked up by large radio telescopes back on Earth. Subsequently, Cassini once again directed its antenna towards the Earth to relay the recorded data. All in all, Huygens operated for 148 minutes during its descent, and for more than three hours on the ground.

For scientists around the world, these 474 megabits of data, including more than 350 photos, were a veritable manna from heaven, food for study for scientists from around the world, which continue to be analyzed. It turns out that the dynamics of the Titan atmosphere are comparable to those on Venus, Earth or Mars, enabling us to expand our scope of investigations in comparative planetology, as well as our understanding of planetary atmospheres especially of our own planet.
The surface of Titan revealed a world modeled by cryovolcanic eruptions, along with precipitation of methane and other hydrocarbons. The measurements of atmosp
