📡 Separated by the North Sea, connected by satellite.
🕹️ Engineers used the team's custom controller to move the robotic arm and grab samples.
🌕 Future Moon missions could use the same tech to explore safely from afar.

🌌 Our human-robot interaction team is no stranger to long distances.
🛰️ This summer, NASA astronaut Jonny Kim operated @esa.int and @dlr-en.bsky.social robots from the International Space Station.

I'd heard this re: kinetic energy but somehow I didn't equate the term "gravity losses" with that. Asking here made me see this in a way I had not before, so I am glad I did!

Nachtrag: Wie im ALT-Text erwähnt und gut zu erkennen, hat unser morgendliches Sonnenbild zufällig den Moment erwischt, als es in der ansonsten ruhigen Sonnenflecken-Region kurz aufgeblitzt hat. Hier dazu das Zeitraffer-Video der letzten Stunden: www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/SUVI_ba...

For a top-level overview of what is happening, here is the official G3-watch bulletin from NOAA SWPC. Agencies are forecasting the CME to arrive early on Tuesday UT day, i.e., Monday night. CMEs can cause large geomagnetic storms, and there is a large CME headed towards us now.
