I know everyone is excited about #SpaceWeather but...🎉 I've been shortlisted as a finalist for the Global Space Awards in the Science Breakthrough category! 516 nominations from 38 countries, what an honour! 🚀 This is recognition for my work with the #ESASolarOrbiter mission🛰️ #GlobalSpaceAwards

Solar Orbiter was launched atop the US Atlas V 411 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Part of our #CosmicVision plan, #ESASolarOrbiter launched in February 2020.

An ESA mission with strong NASA participation, it's the most complex scientific laboratory ever sent to study our star to understand better its 11-year cycle, the corona, the solar wind & more. 🔭 1/ #CM25

With the transmission complete, the Cebreros antenna is ready to be put back to work.

Next up: Exchanging with #ESASolarOrbiter, at about 270,00,000 km from us!
