But scientists will have to be patient to discover the mysteries of the closest planet to the Sun. As they say, “all good things come to those who wait...” This time it will take seven years, on an incredible journey through the Solar System, before Mercury is in our crosshairs. No point getting hot under the collar either, since Mercury, as you probably know, is very “hot stuff” indeed. You’ll just have to cool your heels until BepiColombo reaches what Jacques Brel called the “unreachable star” in his famous song, “The Impossible Dream” (La Quête/”The Quest” in the original French). 20 Oct 2018 2727094 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-02/Cygnus_800x600.jpg Go Bepi Go!

An astronaut! /en/worldwide/space/news/what-do-you-want-be-when-you-grow-astronaut September 27th 2018 - Today is a historic moment for space aficionados. Two astronauts from the European Space Agency met today at the European Space Research Institute (ESRIN) to share their experience in orbit. One is Italian; the other is French... I have named Luca Parmitano and Thomas Pesquet; two famous astronauts who have made a significant contribution to making space activities accessible to a very wide audience. In 2019, Luca Parmitano will fly back to the ISS. Fair wind to you Luca! 27 Sep 2018 2726945 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-02/Cygnus_800x600.jpg Happy Birthday Cygnus! /en/worldwide/space/news/happy-birthday-cygnus September 18th 2018 - Five years ago, the first Cygnus spacecraft was successfully launched at 14:58:02.2 (GMT) by an Antares 110 rocket. 18 Sep 2018 2726880 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-02/Cygnus_800x600.jpg Cygnus en route to International Space Station /en/worldwide/space/news/cygnus-route-international-space-station May 21st , 2018 – The latest Cygnus cargo spacecraft has just been launched by an Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. 23 May 2018 2726307 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-02/Cygnus_800x600.jpg Guess who’s back? /en/worldwide/space/news/guess-whos-back March 19th 2018 - ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli drops in to see us in Turin 19 Mar 2018 2725339 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2020-02/Cygnus_800x600.jpg
