After this, the experiments will wait for a good time window where the rocket can be launched. Hopefully, somewhere between Monday and Tuesday next week, so keep an eye out, we will publish the link to follow the launch!

🚨We are blessed to work amongst this incredible group of people, supporting each other, helping each other, and pushing science and technology further.

This is the result of an amazing team effort!

Thanks as well to George, Vivien Willems, José Fojo, and Cristian Villalobos for backup vesicle fabrication; and to Ivo Buttinoni—integral to the project even off-site.

Huge thanks to the rocket engineering team at MORABA (DLR). They make this possible. Also I am so grateful to colleagues handling complex planning and engineering:
Thomas Voigtmann (project manager and experiment lead), Jens Hauslage, Jorg Drescher, and Paulina Blair.

#NyMEx, first flown two years ago, now on its third flight.
Goal: reproduce and extend our previous results on vesicle dynamics.
#VESICOLOS, a miniature microscope to monitor vesicles during flight. A first for us; excited to capture real-time GUV pictures in microgravity.
