Don't forget your factor 50 if you are getting a ride.
Let’s hope it goes up at night when the sun doesn’t shine

Why does it look like a broken commercial washing machine, freshly salvaged from a council tip? Dan Dare always had a much better looking space ship.
is that the thing that's collecting Space debris ?
if so what happens to it once its collected?

The Rubbish one was done by Surrey university if I remember correctly and is already launched and doing trials at present.
We've got a test campaign in Germany before going to Florida for the launch in Feb 2020.

The rubbish one was on the news this morning, i was just interested in what it did with the stuff it collected?? di

The one I'm working on will fly towards the Sun, where the 10 scientific instruments on board will take different measurements to greater understand the Sun.
It will work for a few years in conjunction with 'PARKER' a NASA satellite which will be closer to the Sun then Solo.

All of the outer coverings haven't been attached yet. So looks less then impressive at the moment.

Still looks like a dust bin to me, or a car that has been through the crusher. I hope you aren't the guy in charge of aesthetics.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Made me. Chuckle when it said there’s been slight delays. My initial thought was if you spent less time on here it might of been finished. ???
That aside, what satellite was the recent close up photos of the sun taken from. And it mentions that the “ job” on this satellite was in conjunction with the the European space agency. How’s that pact going to go once the UK leave the EU. Finally how does that get up there safe without smashing into another satellite. It must be getting busy up there with the thousands of satellites up there. I read there was another near miss with two the other day.

ESA has absolutely nothing to do with EU, it's what you put in as a country then that's what ESA gives to that country work on that contract.

Neat!
But I still can't believe that after 3 years (or more) work they still haven't got round to fitting the cupholders on it ?
