"I've travelled 4.9 billion miles, executed 2.5 million commands, and sent 453,048 beautiful photographs back to those awaiting at home. Countless papers were published amidst my findings — with more yet to come."

"It'll be my birthday in a month, I'll be turning 20 years of age. But I'm afraid that'll have to wait."

"My last order has been given."

"My name is Cassini. I was born for you. And today, I'll face the end for you."

15/9/2017 — The Plunge: A mission's end. Four years ago on this very day, as it took one final image of the gas giant, the Cassini spacecraft plunged into Saturn — the ringed queen of skies — becoming a part of the planet it had orbited since 2004.

Some goings on in space

Merry Christmas yall, and happy launch day to the James Webb Space Telescope!

He forgot lol

Oh I forgot to post this. LISA is a proposed gravitational wave detector whos component spacecrafts will be located 2.5 million kilometers from each other, orbiting around the sun. Pretty cool. Here's a wikipedia article about it if you are interested.

[04/10/1957] — Бип...бип...бип...

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite. It was around the size of a beach ball, weighed 83.6 kg (183.9 pounds), and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. This ushered in a new age of political, military, technological, and scientific developments, and although the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.-U.S.S.R space race.

The Spitzer Space Telescope

A mid-to-far-infrared space observatory named after late American physicist Lyman Spitzer Jr., it was the fourth and final Great Observatory. For 16 years, he continually exceeded mission expectations before his well-earned retirement in 2020.
