Hello from Venus Flashback! ⠀
⠀
Have you seen the Venusian cloud tops during nearly a full orbit of our Venus Express around the planet?⠀
⠀
The inset shows the corresponding position and relative speed of Venus Express as it approaches from its furthest distance of 66 000 km above the south pole, swooping down to 250 km above the north pole.⠀
⠀
The images were captured by the Venus Monitoring Camera on 7–8 January 2012 and are shown in false colour.

Ready to find some planets? The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is getting ready for launch! TESS is the next step in our search for planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. This planet hunter will scan nearly the entire sky over two years to monitor 200,000 of the nearest and brightest stars in search of transits - periodic dips in a star’s brightness caused by planets passing in front of their stars.
Led out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, TESS is expected to find thousands of new exoplanets. Powerful telescopes could then study these planets in more detail to help determine what they are made of, and what their atmospheres are like. Stay tuned for more about TESS as we get closer to launch, which is currently scheduled for no earlier than April 16!

What is the Sentinel Mission?
• Sentinels are part of the ambitious Copernicus program, the world’s largest earth observation program, directed by European Commission in partnership with European Space Agency.
• Sentinel is the space segment of Copernicus, consisting of six different types of satellite to study different aspects of the planet.
• As of now, 6 Sentinel missions have been planned; some are already up there, others yet to be launched.
• Sentinels are designed to fly in pairs to shorten revisit time to any one point on Earth.
• Sentinel-1 is a radar constellation that can see the Earth’s surface in all weathers, and its twins are fully operational in orbit since 2016.
• Sentinel-2 is a multi-wavelength mission to study principally land changes. Sentinel-2A was launched on June 23, 2015, while its twin joined it today.
• Sentinel-3 predominantly carries ocean sensors to observe their properties and behavior. Sentinel-3A was launched on January 16, 2016 and Sentinel-3B is scheduled for launch in 2018.
• Sentinel-4 will have a high-orbiting sensor to measure atmospheric gases.
• Sentinel-5 will have low-orbiting atmospheric sensor to help monitor air quality
• Sentinel-6 is a future version of NASA’s Jason ocean height series.
• Even though Sentinel 4, 5 and 6 have no presence in orbit yet and are either in manufacturing or conception stages, EU and ESA are already in talks to extend the Sentinel mission.
• Sentinel 7 is envisaged to be a constellation of satellites that monitors CO2.
• Sentinel 8 could be a thermal infrared sensor for understanding natural disasters like drought.
• Sentinel 9 is envisaged to be a polar mission to study thickness of ice surfaces and provide better weather imaging and communications at high latitudes.

Farewell, Tiangong-1: Chinese Space Station Meets Fiery Doom Over South Pacific
Tiangong-1 is no more. China's prototype space station, whose name translates as "Heavenly Palace 1," met a fiery end in Earth's atmosphere today (April 1), breaking apart and burning up over the southern Pacific Ocean.
