LEOP complete for @esa.int’s FLEX 💪 🛰️ Since #FLEX launched alongside #Copernicus #Sentinel-3C on 15 September, teams at #ESOC have been working around the clock to complete the spacecraft’s launch and early orbit phase (LEOP). Congratulations to all the FLEX teams and partners! 👏

FLEX mission team members Andrea Ferrari, Gerome Fastrez, Vladimir Zelenevskiy, and Isabel Dauvin stand in the Main Control Room at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) during the launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) of FLEX.

Large wall-mounted displays show mission data and spacecraft imagery, while the illuminated ESA and ESOC logos and electronic status boards are visible beneath the centre’s distinctive honeycomb-patterned ceiling.

Mario Benincasa, PDGS Instrument Engineer at ESA, Aiv Engineer at ESA Francesco Sirchia, Marta De Laurentis, PDGS Subsystem Engineer at ESA, Massimo Romanazzo, Head of ESA & Third Party Missions Ground Segment Section, Alessandra Rech, ESA’s FLEX PDGS Ground Segment Manager, and Timon Hummel, ESA FLEX Mission Manager, look into the Main Control Room at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) during the launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) of FLEX.

The team members stand behind a glass wall, observing spacecraft operations displays and monitoring screens. Reflections of data screens and consoles overlay the scene.

Both individuals are wearing headsets sit at consoles in a control room, monitoring spacecraft operations. A sign labelled “FOD – Flight Operations Director” is visible in the foreground, while computer displays, mission data screens, and other team members can be seen through the glass-walled operations area in the background.

After 34 intense hours, the team at @esa.int’s #ESOC completed the launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) for #Copernicus #Sentinel-3C, following its launch alongside #FLEX on 15 September. Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible. 👏 📷ESA/J.Mai

In the background, Franco Marchese, ESA Flight Operations Director for the Sentinel-3C LEOP, is wearing a headset works at a computer workstation, with screens and control-room equipment visible out of focus.

Two Ground Operations Managers, Pablo Asenjo Garcia and Ruddy-Herard Chatim, sit at a workstation at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) during the launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) for Copernicus Sentinel-3C.

The workstation features multiple monitors displaying spacecraft operations data and communication schedules. Laptops, consoles, and control-room equipment are arranged across the desk, while additional screens and workstations fill the background of the mission operations room.

👩‍💻 👨‍💻 🧑‍💻 The teams at @esa.int’s #ESOC mission control will now spend around 70 hours guiding both #FLEX and #Copernicus #Sentinel-3C through their first days in orbit. 🛰️🛰️ For now, that’s it from us on this exciting dual launch! Congrats to all the teams involved! 🙌 📷 ESA

4-panel comic. (1) [Giant fishing rod-like cat toy positioned above four tectonic plates. Two helicopters that appear tiny due to scale fly above. People next to device are so tiny they cannot be seen.] PERSON 1: The key to exposing new geologic layers is understanding the three forces driving plate movement: slab pull, ridge push, and taunting.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Hercule Poirot dressed all in black speaks to Captain Hastings in a grand hallway “Please ask the suspects to gather in the library, Hastings: I wish to reveal that our births are random, our lives meaningless, and our deaths absurd.”

Caption “Having investigated so many awful murders over the years, it was perhaps unsurprising that Hercule Poirot turned to Existentialism”

p.s. Poirot had presumably been reading a lot of Sartre recently…

"It is meaningless that we live and it is meaningless that we die," Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness (L'Être et le Néant)

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.” Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea (La Nausée)
