Thanks to the satellite SONATE-2 that is being operated by students at @jmuspace.bsky.social, we were able take these amazing pictures of Campo Militar de Santa Margarida, where the European Rocketry Challenge (EUROC) took place!

We have been invited by #ASTG to fly a payload on their hybrid #ispida rocket at #euroc this year. Thanks for having us!
As the launch date is approaching, members of our project #s2outh have arrived in Portugal, and are preparing our video and telemetry system - "the cube" - for integration.

This week we visited #dlrk, a german aerospace congress. Alongside our friends at #warr, #auxspace, #erig, #sprog, and #ksat, we got to connect with actors in the german aerospace sector, and showed how students can participate in the field.
Huge thanks to #dglr for inviting us!

A banner reading "Herzlich Wilkommen - DEUTSCHER LUFT- UND RAUMFAHRTKONGRESS" (German for "Welcome - GERMAN AEROSPACE CONGRESS") is placed above the entrance.

Have you seen Sunday’s lunar eclipse?
Our telescope captured this shot of the Moon cloaked in deep red.
As the photo was taken just shortly sunset, the air was still shimmering with heat, creating subtle distortions you can spot if you look closely.

We have been part of the #SpaceCamp at #Wacken 🤘

Besides showing metalheads what student aerospace is all about, we got to meet ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst!

A huge thanks to @wackenopenair.bsky.social and DGLR (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt) for having us. You rock! 🫶

A group photo of approximately 60 people in front of a big pavilion. In the middle is ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst. Some people are holding small rovers, a small rocket, or laptops. Many people wear merchandise of Wacken Open Air, and are gesturing the Metal Sign.

Two exhibition tables covered in aerospace hardware and informational material from DGLR and WüSpace. A member of WüSpace on the left explains an experiment to Alexander Gerst, who is stood on the right.

Wide angle photo of the inside of a big pavilion, giving an overview of the different exhibits in the Space Camp. You can see Small Rockets and Rovers in the back, with some benches and tables in the front. A couple of visitors and a couple of exhibitors are scattered around.

This year has shown us to what lengths people will go to show their hatred of LGBTQIA+ people. We stand with our queer siblings and count ourselves lucky to have so many in our club living their lives authentically!

Happy Pride!
