As the #spacecraft approaches Mars 
, it will need to perform a capture burn 
to slow down and be captured by Mars' gravity. This requires a delta-v of about 0.7 to 1.3 km/s to enter Mars' orbit or to land on the planet's surface. #Starship 
will enter #Mars’ atmosphere at 7.7 km/sec and decelerate #aerodynamically https://www.uc.edu/content/dam/refresh/cont-ed-62/olli/fall-23-class-handouts/SpaceX%208%20%20Mars%20%20Vision%20Summary.pdf

These models are closer to a DIY project than a symbol of high technology. They serve as a reminder to put our sense of triumph or progress into perspective and reconnect with the fragility of our human condition.

Oh no, #Gaia, the European #Space Agency's space gadget, is going to bed in 2025! 
After years of looking at stars, it's finally taking a nap—probably tired of being ignored in favor of #Elon Musk's latest Twitter tantrum. 
Who knew even spacecrafts need a #cosmic #retirement plan?

The #ESA finally pulled the plug on the #Gaia #spacecraft, proving once again their unparalleled mastery in sending expensive gadgets into sleep mode. Now they can rest easy knowing Gaia's #data will be "scientifically exploited" long after it's taken its victory lap around the Sun. Bravo, ESA, for discovering the power button!

www.esa.intFarewell, Gaia! Spacecraft operations come to an endThe European Space Agency (ESA) has powered down its Gaia spacecraft after more than a decade spent gathering data that are now being used to unravel the secrets of our home galaxy.On 27 March 2025, Gaia’s control team at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre carefully switched off the spacecraft’s subsystems and sent it into a ‘retirement orbit’ around the Sun.Though the spacecraft’s operations are now over, the scientific exploitation of Gaia’s data has just begun.
