“Developed in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA), PLAYMOBIL brings the excitement of space exploration straight into children’s rooms! Two astronauts have landed safely on the Red Planet with their research rocket – ready to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth! The rocket features a modular design: it can be extended or shortened, depending on the mission, and docks onto a mobile landing platform that serves as a base station on Mars. Movable crane arms help collect the soil samples and securely store them inside the rocket – either in the front storage compartment or in the rocket-shaped nose cone, ready for launch. The rocket includes seats for both astronauts. Prepare for liftoff – the next PLAYMOBIL research mission is about to begin!..”

From Vegemite Rockets to Space Robots (IAC 2025)

I went to IAC 2025 thinking it would be a normal space conference. It was not. Within five days I saw a jar of Vegemite that literally went on a rocket, got trapped in an elevator with a disco ball and music, had my AstroBoy shirt turned into art by an astro artist, and accidentally ended up interviewing some of the biggest brains in the space industry.

They shut down an entire street in Sydney for opening night, I climbed through the CSIRO mobile command station like an excited child, met lunar rover designers, and spoke to RMIT students who casually launched a cubesat into orbit.

This was the wildest event I’ve ever been to — and I was NOT prepared.

メタンロケットの段階的打ち上げと着陸についての情報のようです。 #space #marsmission #spacelab #spacex #blueorigin #rocketlab

メタンをロケット燃料として利用することにより、環境負荷の低減やコスト削減が期待され、火星への長期ミッションも実現可能となるぽい。
