OHB Italia S.p.A. AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE #RAMSES MISSION: THE NEW FRONTIER OF PLANETARY DEFENCE   Today, in the frame of IAC Milan 2024, OHB Italia S.p.A. and the European Space Agency - ESA have signed the contract for the consolidation and early implementation phase of RAMSES (Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety). This revolutionary space safety program, following the HERA mission, will monitor and accompany asteroid 99942 #Apophis during its close flyby of Earth on April 13, 2029, providing critical data for the protection of our Planet from potential future impacts.   OHB Italia, as Prime Contractor, is leading a core team including #OHBSystem and #GMV. The target is to develop an innovative probe to conduct detailed scientific analyses on the changes the asteroid undergoes due to Earth’s #gravitationalinfluence. Apophis, a celestial body approximately 375 meters in diameter, will pass just 32,000 km from Earth's surface, making it visible to the naked eye for millions of people across Europe, Africa, and Asia.   RAMSES will be equipped with an advanced suite of scientific instruments, including two #CubeSats that will be deployed to collect close-up data on Apophis. Thanks to the technical and engineering expertise of OHB Italia S.p.A. , these instruments will be integrated into the RAMSES probe to monitor the real-time transformations of the asteroid during the flyby, providing a comprehensive “before and after” perspective and contributing to the scientific understanding of #asteroidsdynamics.   “The RAMSES mission represents a crucial step forward for #spacesafety,” stated Roberto Aceti, CEO of OHB Italia. “Until now, to study asteroids we had to travel into deep space. Now, for the first time, we can observe one up close as it approaches Earth and witnesses its reactions to external gravitational forces. We are proud to lead the #industrialeffort for this vital mission that not only expands our knowledge of asteroids but also brings us closer to concrete solutions to address potential threats to our Planet. This project reflects the technical excellence of OHB Italia S.p.A. and our commitment to planetary defense.”   The RAMSES mission will also collaborate with the OSIRIS-APEX mission of #NASA, which was redirected towards Apophis to provide further scientific insights: the combined data from RAMSES and OSIRIS-APEX will deliver valuable information on Apophis’s internal cohesion, density, and composition, crucial aspects for studying and designing strategies to deflect any future potentially #hazardousobjects. RAMSES further demonstrates OHB Italia’s ability to run complex and #criticalprograms with challenging technical requirements and within extremely tight deadlines. It strengthens the role of OHB Italia and Europe as leaders in protecting Earth from natural hazards from space, contributing to a global and effective response to potential dangers due to asteroids and ensuring a safer #future for generations to come.

We are smiling because this is great news: Today at #IAC2024 ESA has signed a contract valued at over €280 million to OHB SE to build our two Harmony satellites. As subcontractors, Thales Alenia Space in Italy is responsible for the synthetic aperture radar and ABB in Canada is responsible for the thermal-infrared imager. A mission in tandem with Copernicus Sentinel-1: The mission comprises two identical satellites, each of which carry a receive-only synthetic aperture radar and a multiview thermal-infrared instrument. They will orbit Earth in convoy with a Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite to yield new information that will answer important questions on Earth system processes. Harmony has to be built within the next five years in order for the satellites to meet their rendezvous with a Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite; I have full trust in our industry partners to help us meet this deadline for such an important Earth Explorer mission. What are the applications? This unique satellite mission concept is now set to provide a wealth of new information about our oceans, ice, earthquakes and volcanoes – which will make significant contributions to climate research and risk monitoring. https://lnkd.in/dZ_yzMJt

Farewell, Earth!🌍 Last week, after we successfully launched our Hera mission, its instruments were switched on for the first time and the asteroid deck was pointed back towards our planet. This allowed Hera to capture the first images of Earth and the Moon from a distance of more than one million km!👉https://lnkd.in/eSrmKjpA

#Hera LEOP completed - off to Dydimos we go!   It only took less than three days for the teams at #ESOC to complete the first phase of Hera's journey in space following its successful launch on Monday.   🧭 Hera powered on and tested its star trackers (used for navigation) and its reaction wheels (used to control Hera’s orientation in space). 📟 Mission control tested the communication antennas used to stay in touch with Earth via ESA’s #Estrack ground station network. ⚙️ Each thruster was tested briefly to ensure proper functionality ahead of Hera’s upcoming deep space manoeuvre.   “It has been an action-packed few days,” says Sylvain Lodiot, Hera Spacecraft Operations Manager. “We have fine-tuned some of the systems, but overall, Hera’s first days in space have gone very well. The hardware is performing well, and we have already uplinked a few software updates.”   What is next? 💠 In late October, Hera will perform its first deep space manoeuvre. 💠 In March 2025, the spacecraft will fly by Mars. 💠 In February 2026, a second deep space manoeuvre will occur. 💠 In October 2026, an ‘impulsive rendezvous’ will bring Hera into the vicinity of the Didymos asteroid system.   "Hera went through a tense and improbable launch, but together we have converted that into a very smooth and successful LEOP", Hera Flight Operations Director Ignacio Tanco noted.   Congratulations to all the teams for their impressive effort!   Read more about Hera's early operations 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2ujKugq

„Bayern im Weltraum: Spitzenwissenschaft und -technologie aus Bayern – Die ESA Euclid-Mission und mehr …“ 🔭 🏔️ 🛰️ Gemeinsam mit dem Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik und der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München haben wir diese Veranstaltung im Wendelstein-Observatorium organisiert. Aus „im Wendelstein-Observatorium“ wurde aufgrund eines Seilbahndefekts dann zwar „zu Füßen des Wendelstein-Observatoriums“, allerdings tat das dem Erfolg der Gespräche keinen Abbruch. Bayerns Wirtschaftsstaatssekretär Tobias Gotthardt hielt das Grußwort und sagte unter anderem: „Hier am Wendelstein ist der Gipfel der Forschung: Bayerische Wissenschaftler der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität und des Max-Planck-Instituts für extraterrestrische Physik sowie bayerische Raumfahrtunternehmen haben einen großen Anteil am herausragenden Erfolg des Euclid-Weltraumteleskops. Diese erfolgreiche Mission zeigt in beeindruckender Weise, wie bei uns in Bayern Spitzenforschung und Spitzentechnologie bei der Entwicklung moderner Forschungsinfrastruktur in der Raumfahrt Hand in Hand gehen. Auch in Zukunft wird sich der Freistaat für diese so wichtige Zusammenarbeit von Wissenschaft und Industrie einsetzen und Universitäten, Forschungseinrichtungen und Unternehmen im Rahmen der Innovationsstrategie tatkräftig unterstützen. Wir sind Heimat für Hightech.“ Neben #Euclid ging es dann noch um weitere zukünftige Wissenschaftsmissionen und den Vorbildcharakter der Zusammenarbeit von Wirtschaft, außeruniversitärer Forschung und den Hochschulen am Wendelstein.
