Scientists around the world are still studying rocks and soil samples that were collected, by the Apollo 11 through 17 missions, using modern equipment, methods and technologies. The return of samples has allowed the field of planetary science to advance in ways unthinkable with the restrictions of in-situ analysis and remote observations. As for every other aspect of the Apollo programme, the design and manufacturing of the tools uti- lized by astronauts for sample collection had to meet rigorous planetary protection requirements, whilst respecting stringent environmental and operability constraints. Many of those tools went through various redesign efforts, based on feedback from the very skillful and resourceful astronauts using them. In future planetary exploration missions, geological and geo-microbiological sampling will be a key to further devel- opment of our understanding of the evolution of the solar system, and to develop successful technologies for in-situ resource utilization and 3D printing.

All these activities were key to widening awareness of ESA to a young European audience and bringing the focus on space in an inspirational and accessible setting. Luca's set was followed by that of his mentor, German DJ Le Shuuk. Luca had taken time out of his busy pre-flight training schedule earlier this year to work with Le Shuuk and receive a briefing on how to mix tracks. Le Shuuk prepared a personal playlist for Luca to take with him to the Station, and provided specialist DJ software that was uploaded ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano made space (and music) to the astronaut's tablets in space. history on 13 August 2019 when he broadcast the first DJ music set from orbit, performing to an audience of over 3000 people as part of the BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME Cruise Edition.

  • European Space Agency: Astronaut Recruitment Drive for Greater Diversity
    European Space Agency: Astronaut recruitment drive for greater diversity Jonathan Amos Science correspondent @BBCAmoson Twitter The European Space Agency says it wants to recruit someone with a disability as part of its call for new astronauts. Esa will be accepting applications in March to fill four-to-six vacancies in its astro corps but it wants this draft process to be as inclusive as possible. The search for a potential flier with additional functional needs will be run in parallel to the main call. The agency has asked the International Paralympic Committee to advise it on selection. "To be absolutely clear, we're not looking to hire a space tourist that happens also to have a disability," said Dr David Parker, the director of Esa's robotics and human spaceflight programme. "To be very explicit, this individual would do a meaningful space mission. So, they would need to do the science; they would need to participate in all the normal operations of the International Space Station (ISS). "This is not about tokenism," he told BBC News. "We have to be able to justify to all the people who fund us - which is everybody, including people who happen to be disabled - that what we're doing is somehow meaningful to everybody." Individuals with a lower limb deficiency or who have restricted growth - circumstances that have always been a bar in the past - are encouraged to apply. At this stage, the selected individual would be part of a feasibility project to understand the requirements, such as on safety and technical support. But the clear intention is to make "para- astronauts" a reality at some point in the future, even if this takes some time.

  • LSG Group Develops New Dish for Space Station
    LSG Group develops new dish for Space Station Jörg Hofmann of LSG Group's Center for Culinary Excellence The LSG Group is preparing an additional dish to support European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer on his Cosmic Kiss mission on the International Space Station (ISS). As part of the virtual music and culinary event "BigCityBeats Space Club Kitchen" organized by the Frankfurt concert promoter of the same name, Maurer will enjoy a beef rendang with vadouvan rice, azuki beans and yogurt. Participants hoping to enjoy the classic dish from Indonesia alongside the astronaut can order a “space box” or prepare it in their own kitchens using a provided recipe. The recipe comes from well-known TV chef Tim Mälzer, who chose the specialty for its globally appreciated flavor combination of coconut milk, onions, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, kefir lime leaves and tamarind for the braised beef. It is also one of Maurer's favorite dishes. The challenge for the LSG Group was to ensure that the recipe and all its components were safe for space and could be preserved unrefrigerated in cans through autoclaving for at least 24 months – all without compromising on taste. "We are proud to support the project, and of the impressive result. Braised dishes and rice are particularly suitable for space food. Matthias Maurer can look forward to a tasty treat," explains Jörg Hofmann, Head of Center of Excellence Culinary at LSG Group, in today’s announcement. As part of the company's long-standing cooperation with ESA, he already developed the bonus food for Alexander Gerst in 2018 and, most recently, the Saarland specialties that are intended to sweeten Matthias Maurer's time on the ISS with a culinary reminder of home.

    Coronavirus (Covid-19) LIVING IN ISOLATION HERE ON EARTH AND AMONG THE STARS LUXEMBOURG, BERLIN, PARIS -- Asteroid Day, the official United Nations’ day of global awareness and education ​ ​ ​ about asteroids and the European Space Agency (ESA) connect Europe and the world with astronauts and celebrities with a ​ ​ ​ message of hope and inspiration. WHEN? Thursday, 26 March; from 16:00 - 21:00 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME ​ WHERE? SpaceConnects.Us We can also provide you with a broadcast or web signal of the feed. ​ ​ The world is at a historic standstill. Borders are closing and millions of people are quarantined due to the spread of COVID-19. While we fight this battle and defeat the invisible enemy, solidarity and mutual encouragement are more important for us than ever before. We want to send out a message of unity and hope, join forces and give us, especially our children and youngsters, confidence in our intelligence, our science, ourselves and the place we live in. When we asked space agencies and astronauts whether they could help us to learn how to go far and beyond, how to cope with staggering challenges and find mental and physical practices to live in isolation, the answer was overwhelmingly positive. We are launching a virtual global town hall to exchange with them and all those who are fascinated by space and ready to learn from it. The #SPACECONNECTSUS PROGRAM: Remote sessions with astronauts and guests from all over the world who speak to ​ children, young adults and their families and friends about their experience and techniques in confined places and what else space may provide to help, their trust in science and the sources of their inspiration.

  • Sergei Prokofiev
    Sergei Prokofiev Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (/prɵˈkɒfiɛv/; Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, tr. Sergej Sergeevič Prokof'ev; April 27, 1891 [O.S. 15 April];– March 5, 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous musical genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created – excluding juvenilia – seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, and nine completed piano sonatas. A graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument, including his first two piano concertos. In 1915 Prokofiev made a decisive break from the standard composer-pianist category with his orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes. Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev – Chout, Le pas d'acier and The Prodigal Son – which at the time of their original production all caused a sensation among both critics and colleagues. Prokofiev's greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's one operatic success during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for the Chicago Opera and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.
