Magnifique! Celui du JPL était au bâtiment “flight missions”. Le CNES en a fait aussi une version à l’échelle 1 en s’appuyant sur des étudiants. A l’ISAE SUPAERO on a fait faire une jolie version mais toute petite …

📢 New research sheds light on the chaotic rotation of Saturn's moon Hyperion! Long thought to tumble chaotically, Hyperion's spin may actually be quasi-regular, driven by nutation-orbit resonances. 🌌🛰️ #SpaceScience arxiv.org/pdf/2410.1...

#IPPW : Dr. Fujimoto explains the last minutes of the SLIM mission landing and the sequence that led to the final landing attitude. The pinpoint landing worked perfectly, but one of the thrusters failed at 50m of the surface, leading to a small lateral remaining speed.
