David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 10/01/2025This stunning view shows Mercury’s rugged surface, featuring craters bathed in eternal shadow. These areas might harbor water ice—a surprising possibility on a planet so close to the Sun. 🌞❄️ 📷 Image credit: ESA/JAXA 110
David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 10/11/2024Magnifique! 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 … 020
David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 28/10/2024 📢 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... 2276
David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 27/10/2024🚀🇮🇳 Exciting news! India’s ISRO plans to launch the Chandrayaan-4 mission targeting the moon’s south pole for a sample return. 🌕✨ 🌊 The mission aims to collect around 3 kg of lunar samples, focusing on areas believed to contain water ice. spacenews.com/india-... 171
David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 28/09/2024 🚀🔊 The quest to capture Martian sounds began in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until NASA’s Perseverance rover landed in 2021 that we could finally hear the Red Planet. #MarsExploration #SpaceScience ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ acousticstoday.org/u... 141
David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 16/09/2024🌍 From the surface of Mars, Curiosity has captured a breathtaking moment: a conjonction of Earth and Phobos, Mars' moon. A humbling reminder of our tiny place in the cosmos. #PaleBlueDot 171

David Mimoun @moonnext.bsky.social · 10/06/2024#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. 120
