... as we have first really stunning replays of the #ArianeHeavy test launch we have great news: 1st stage and 2nd stage (a modified #Ariane6 upper stage) performances were nominal, and XCV was released into a stable orbit ! #MoonDot #minilaunchers 🚀 #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA

... during the #ArianeHeavy liftoff phase we did a first experiment with a super slow motion camera ! 🙀😱 That experiment did not #fail ! And more news: the XCV is about to re-enter soon ! Stay tuned for updates ! #MoonDot #minilaunchers 🚀 #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #slomo

... and the prototype of the European eXperimental Crew Vehicle XCV is returning after 108 minutes and one orbit back to Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) with one engine 🔥 burning ! Woohoo ! #MoonDot 🌗 #minilaunchers 🚀 #ArianeHeavy #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA

... we will inspect the landed XCV prototype now ! The very first impression is that all is fine. Still hard to imagine that we will land with this XCV in the future. It has a backup chute, but well ... We are saying goodbye for now. Many thanks for watching ! #MoonDot #STEAM

Dear friends of @ESA, European Space Agencyspaceflight, NASA, DLR - English, Airbus Space, NASA Artemis in 🇪🇺Europe! We have a great #XMas gift for you: the 1:200 ARCHIVED: NASA_SLS RTF model has a discount rate of 20% these days! Please visit: bit.ly/3CJC2oZ #XMas #offer #modelrockets #fun #STEAM

#OTD #8yrsago we saw another launch for the inspirational #MoonDot program: A mini version of #Ariane6 - the new @ESA #launcher made by ArianeGroup - launched a module to the international Lunar #Gateway in the alternate #MoonDot universe: youtu.be/IxdoegOnY4E?si… #STEAM #STEMEd

🇩🇪 Habt Ihr gestern die suborbitale Blue Origin-#NewShepard-Mission der 6 Damen gesehen? Wir hätten da einen Bausatz einer kleinen #NewShepard-#Rakete für Euren Mini-Weltraumbahnhof: raketenmodellbau-klima.de/e-vendo.php?sh… #Modellrakete 🚀 #MINT

What a great day! We finished the construction of the 1st stage of our new @ESA launcher for suborbital inspirational #STEMEd launches 🚀! Woohoo! And we had a great visitor: the fantastic mini ESA reserve #astronaut Sara García Alonso from #Spain! Muchas gracias! #ESA #MoonDot #STEAM

Can't wait for the first launch! 🚀

🇩🇪 Die #Cygnus-#Rakete 🚀 (#ModellDesMonats Mai mit 20% Rabatt, Art.-Nr. 3219 bei raketenmodellbau-klima.de) eignet sich nicht nur zum Fliegen von Eiern! Man kann auch andere Nutzlasten wie z.B. eine Kamera 📸 mitfliegen! Hier sind mal einige Eindrücke von so einem Testflug!

🇩🇪 Willkommen zur Vorstellung unserer neuen #CNyx-Kapsel inspiriert von der #Nyx-Kapsel der #TheExplorationCompany für suborbitale Flüge von uns Mini-#Astronauten des #MoonDot-Programms. Wir werden in dieser Kapsel für #Kids starten, um sie für #Weltraum-Forschung zu begeistern !

... diese #CNyx-Kapsel werden wir bald mit einer neuen #Rakete von Model Rocketry Klima für Tests starten, und dann beim #ESASpaceCamp der ESA auf Deutsch, dem Ferienfest auf dem Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) ... #MINT #minilaunchers 🚀

🇩🇪 Heute stellen wir nach der Präsentation unserer #CNyx-Raumkapsel auch die dazugehörige wiederverwendbare Trägerrakete vor - die 2-stufige #FeNyx-#Rakete entwickelt in Zusammenarbeit mit Model Rocketry Klima ! Wie gefällt Euch diese Rakete denn so? #MINT #minilaunchers 🚀 #ESA

... und dann wird sehr zeitnah diese #FeNyx-#Rakete mit der #CNyx-Kapsel verbunden werden! Wir können es kaum erwarten! #MoonDot 🌒 #MINT #STEAM #STEMEd #minilaunchers 🚀 #ESA #ESASpaceCamp

We are proudly presenting our new launcher called #FeNyx that we have developed together with Model Rocketry Klima ! This launcher is our new #rocket for suborbital missions we will fly to inspire kids at Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER), #ESASpaceCamp ... #STEMEd #STEAM #ESA #minilaunchers 🚀 #CNyx

... soon we will mount the new #CNyx #spaceship on top of the #FeNyx launcher, and prepare the system for the first test flight from Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) ! Will any of us mini #astronauts be on board? #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #minilaunchers 🚀 #MoonDot

It's finally launch day at Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) ! We have the new #FeNyx launcher at the launch base topped with the very first #CNyx capsule for suborbital demo missions of my mini European Space Agency #astronauts! #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #ESASpaceCamp #minilaunchers 🚀 #Nyx #TheExplorationCompany

... and we are GO FOR LAUNCH! Enjoy the uncut video of the first test launch of the new #FeNyx launcher with the #CNyx capsule, that separated nominally during the flight for a separate touchdown! #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA #ESASpaceCamp #minilaunchers 🚀 #Nyx #TheExplorationCompan

... and there is another cool view from the first launch of the #FeNyx launcher from Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) with the #CNyx capsule on top - shot by a #drone, and showing the separate landing the of capsule! #STEMEd #ESA #ESASpaceCamp #minilaunchers 🚀 #Nyx #TheExplorationCompany

Spaceport Bavaria (ex spaceport BER) ... and then we have this #slomo video showing the #FlameTrench action during the first launch of our mini #FeNyx launcher with the test #CNyx capsule on top! Did my #ESASpaceCamp 2024 students do a good job building this flame trench? The did that, indeed! #STEAM #STEMEd #ESA
