All quiet on the ESOC front 😴

ESA’s JUICE spacecraft is currently behind the Moon & out of contact, but sweeping towards its close flyby in 10 minutes at 23:16CEST, 700km above the surface πŸŒ—

Images are being taken & will be sent back to Earth soon after the flyby: some quick black & white shots should be on the event livestream which starts at 23:30CEST πŸ“ΊπŸ‘‡

@stim3on & I will then work on the colour images as they arrive – look out for them later πŸ™‚πŸ‘

@markmccaughrean @stim3on I bet you have an ugly 'VISITOR' pass now, but happy you are still improving our lives with science! Good luck!
@bert_hubert @stim3on Well, a combination of a visitor badge & pensioner badge – double jeopardy πŸ™‚πŸ‘
