This is very cool btw.

By most metrics a launch failure, but when your objective is to re-enter anyway, who's to say what you'll achieve.
Lors de l'échec du lanceur indien PSLV, la capsule de l'espagnole Orbital Paradigm a envoyé des données, restée attachée à l'étage supérieur. La capsule a subi un angle bien plus raide que ce que la mission nominale avait prévu (environ -20º au lieu de -5º).

Finished "There Is No Anti Memetics Division" by @qntm.org this morning. Thoroughly enjoyable.

This one will stay with me for sure. If not, I'll read it again one day.

Happy 50th birthday to @esa.int
One of Europe’s greatest collaborative ventures in science and innovation.

ESA isn’t perfect — no institution is — but its contributions to space science, Earth observation, and international cooperation are profound.
