ExoMars/TGO Deep Space Hangout
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Google hangout with ExoMars mission experts for an update on the cruise to Mars, the crucial mid-course manoeuvre on 28 July and the upcoming preparations for the arrival phase. The hangout was held on 26 July at 16:00 CEST/14:00 GMT. Since launch on 14 March, ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and the Schiaparelli landing demonstration module have been en route to the Red Planet. The hangout included mission updates and a live Q&A with ESA experts and scientists, focusing on the crucial milestones during the spacecraft's seven-month cruise to the Red Planet. The hangout was hosted by Daniel Scuka (ESA Spacecraft Operations Editor) who was joined by: ** Michel Denis - ExoMars Flight Director, ESOC ** Silvia Sangiorgi - ExoMars Deputy Spacecraft Operations Manager, ESOC ** Michael Khan - Mission Analyst, ESOC ** Ian Thomas - NOMAD (spectrometer) Project Manager, Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy Background info on #ExoMars : http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/ExoMars http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Operations/ExoMars_TGO_operations

Please, don't use Google Hangouts... its overall quality is terrible...
-
there is no intelligent life in solar system move on just fkng develop reliable technology
-
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For chrissakes, get a professional microphone! No one wants to listen to distorted shit like this.

Loved the hangout! Always interesting to hear these technical details i don't really get from ordinary media coverage.
By the way, if you guys are wondering about some of the strange comments on the channel, there happens to be a subset of deeply religious people, who (legitimately, not even joking) still believe the world is flat, and that space is therefore a lie. So that's where that is coming from. -
How are images/data encoded by the sattellite and sent millions of miles with no data loss/corruption? What is the data transfer called and what software does it use?
-
ah.. i hoped to see a video of mars :D
-
How come everything is always computer generated ?
-
I don't know if I'm too late for this but does ESA uses data sent from the spacecraft to calculate orbital mechanics or does the deep space network provide the tracking data or both? Orbital mechanics fascinates me but I don't know just what is used to get information on trajectories (KSP is great for learning basics but it sadly lacks realism).
Thank you ESA and all other space agencies for making mankind advance forward into knowledge and towards space colonisation! -
Thanks Daniel, as always innovative ideas for outreach! Keep it coming!
-
Which type of risks might be faced during orbiting and landing? #askESA
-
What kinds of geological instruments are on the spacecraft?
-
would u improve the sound pls? its like ....not that good :(
-
What went wrong with the first attempt on DSM-0?
-
Hi Michel, Silvia, Michael, Ian, and Daniel! How many people were involved with the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter project? How were those in charge able to make sure that every single detail was followed perfectly- what if one employee didn't screw something in tight enough? #askESA
-
How do you track the current orbit of the spacecraft accurately?
-
There is any Biomedical Engeneering working in this project? #askESA
-
What did you think of the depiction of a Mars mission and survival on Mars in 'The Martian'? #askESA
-
I ask the same as Mediocre Monkey....how is any signal sent through nothing?
-
How do they get information out of deep space? Do they have million miles internet connection or something!?
