ESA-Mission mit Beteiligung der TU Braunschweig 🚀
☄️ Wenn der #Asteroid #Apophis am 13. April 2029 an der Erde vorbeifliegt, wird ein an der #TUBraunschweig entwickeltes Magnetometer direkt auf seiner Oberfläche geophysikalische Messungen durchführen.
🛰️ Das Instrument MARIE ist Teil eines landenden CubeSats der #ESA-Mission RAMSES und soll gemeinsam mit weiteren Experimenten die Auswirkungen des außergewöhnlich nahen Erdvorbeiflugs untersuchen.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ☄️🌍 A mapping project shared at the University of #Padua shows when and where billions of people can see #asteroid #Apophis during its safe 2029 flyby.
Scientists calculated that the #space rock will be bright enough for naked eye viewing across #Europe, #Africa, and #Asia, and it will pass closer to our #planet than many #weather #satellites.
