What's Up? The Space Place

Hey Space Placers! Here is the latest from the European Space Agency (ESA) on their ExoMars mission which placed a new spacecraft in orbit and is awaiting the fate of their lander . Time will tell if the lander survived. Sky Guy in VA

Hey Space Placers! Tune in today as the European Space Agency (ESA)   prepares for its ExoMars spacecraft   and  Schiaparelli lander arrive at the Red Planet.  If the landing is successful the  Schiaparelli lander will join NASA's Curiosity and Opportunity Rovers on the surface of Mars and add to our knowledge of the planet. Orbital ATK and NASA Wallops Flight Facility successfully launched the OA-5 resupply mission to the International Space Station on Monday night and here is my photo of the 1st stage rocket from 150 miles away.
