The Gaia spacecraft: The European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia science satellite, shown here in an artist's impression, will be put into final hibernation with a final command on March 27, 2025. By this time, the satellite will have collected over ten years of scientific data. By 2030, Gaia's data will be used to create the largest existing star catalog to date. It is expected to cover nearly two billion celestial bodies—roughly one percent of our galaxy.

ATRA flies over microphone array at Cochstedt Airport: During flight tests for the Low Noise ATRA project, the A320 ATRA research aircraft flies over a microphone array at Cochstedt Airport. The acoustic measurement data was collected using an extensive microphone array with 36 microphones covering an area of ​​120 x 340 meters on the ground.

Hera spacecraft in front of the binary asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos: The Hera spacecraft will study the binary asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos in 2026 for six months to determine exactly how the orbital periods and shapes of the asteroids have changed since the impact of NASA's DART probe in 2022. Hera is equipped with twelve measuring instruments for this purpose. The most important are the two Asteroid Framing Cameras – two redundant, monochromatic cameras – which are used to determine the spacecraft's position in the asteroid system. They are essential for the probe's navigation. Hera also carries two CubeSats, Juventas and Milani, each the size of a shoebox. They will move closer to Dimorphos and, in the final phase of the mission, even land on it to measure its surface, internal structure, and gravity.
