The wait is over 🎉

Here’s the time lapse we made of ESA/JAXA #BepiColombo’s third of six flybys of Mercury earlier this week, as the spacecraft emerged from behind the planet & watched it recede 🛰️🌓

There’s also a “shape from shading” 3D flyover of Manley Crater & Beagle Rupes made with the data by Kay Wohlfarth at TU Dortmund 🛸

All set to a new musical composition by our friend ILĀ 🎶

A movie showing a time lapse of still images of the planet Mercury, taken by BepiColombo earlier this week during its third flyby. The images are black & white, & the planet shows many surface features including craters & scarps. There is then a 3D flyover of part of the scene made using the “shape from shading” technique. Standard ESA tops and tails bracket the movie.

"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." ☔️🇪🇸

Good morning from the European Space Astronomy Centre, ESAC, outside Madrid, & ESA's VIL-1 15 metre antenna 📡🛰

A video taken at the European Space Astronomy Centre outside Madrid with the 15 metre diameter VIL-1 communications radio dish in the background and a puddle in the foreground with rain falling in it, surrounded by small plants and weeds. The sound of light rain is accompanied by bird song.

My good friend @bbcamos spotted this superb slo-mo video of the #JUICEmission #VA260 Ariane 5 emerging from behind the launch tower on 14 April – it was among a B-roll compilation from Arianespace released on our ESA website.

It was also tweeted yesterday by @esa with a Holst soundtrack.

So here's my version: speeded up to real-time, starting with the Vulcain & EAP ignitions, then the tower shot, with representative audio.

Enjoy 🚀🖖🙂🤘

A video showing the ignition of the Vulcain cryogenic motor of Ariane 5 VA260, launching ESA's JUICE mission to Jupiter, on 14 April, followed by the ignition of the two EAP solid rockets, and then a switch to a view from the top of the launch tower, with the Ariane 5 emerging from behind it and rising into the skies over Kourou in French Guiana. The audio comes from the launch of BepiColombo in 2018, also on an Ariane 5, as that's better quality than anything I've been able to find for the JUICE launch so far. Hence "representative audio".
