We have our pictures from Orbit! 🚀 The YPSAT, our Young Professional Satellite made by our ESA Young Professionals, launched aboard the #Ariane6 last night, and we are excited to share the pictures from orbit, alongside the video of the fairing separation of the Ariane 6 🛰️ The #YPSAT mission has finished with taking breathtaking pictures of our blue planet from above, which was only made possible by the unique Wake-Up System created by the young professionals. With teams actively participating in the launch in the Mission Control Room at ESA #ESOC and decoding in the labs of ESA #ESTEC, the pictures are truly out of this world! 🌌✨ Not only did YPSAT record the main milestones of the #Ariane6 maiden flight, thanks to the @OSCAR-QUBE, the mission also succeeded in its scientific goal, capturing the earth's magnetic field throughout the atmosphere. We want to give a huge thank you to our other partners Scanway, EnduroSat, AMSAT-EA, and the many ground stations that supported us through the night 🕺 #ESA #SpaceTeamEurope #Ariane6 #YPSAT
It's an indescribable feeling knowing the mission was a success, and sharing this moment with the team. A huge shout out to my YPSat team mates, and all our partners and supporters 🚀
This is just an undescribable moment for me!!!!🚀 We started with a dream, and made it a reality. What a way to start a career in space. So proud to have been part of this incredible team❤️ Big shout out to the YPSAT team and ESA to give us this incredible opportunity. This is a dream for any young space enthusiast. To have cherished the YPSAT learning journey but also the cherry on the cake, the success of the mission. THANK YOU🥹

Proud to have supported #YPSAT with the Bochum 20m radio telescope 😊
This is the most beautifull thing I have ever witnessed. Beeing part of the team from the very start, and then just 2 and half years later watching this launch live, celebrating each milestone for the last 24 hours, with great friends I made during my short time in the project was a feeling out of this world. Huge congratulations to every single team member, partner, and facilitator, you made this happen ❤️
So proud to be part of team behind this amazing achievement! Go #YPSAT!
At the beginning we were just a bunch of space nerd who wanted to fly something in Space. After a lot of brainstorming, meeting, testing, failure and learning we finally succeded yesterdeay when YPSAT transmitted all the acquired recording. All missions objectives are successful! ✅ Thank you to the whole team of YPSAT, of the European Space Agency - ESA to have believed in pour project and to Julien Krompholtz and Tuur Strobbe for having lead the project to lift-off on the inaugural flight of #Ariane6 🚀
We can finally breathe again after knowing our satellite has worked. What an amazing achievement and incredible images. Congratulations to everyone in the YPSAT team and big shout out to everyone that supported us ! 🚀
BRAVO!!!!!!
