#MondayQuotivation💡 🤔 What accomplishment from your time at ESA so far are you most proud of❓  🗨 “During my time as a Research Fellow, two of my colleagues and I completed lab projects that demonstrated running different AI algorithms on various space grade and commercial hardware. This was to show the feasibility and the limitations of existing space hardware running AI. Additionally, we were able to show that even processors with a moderate performance that would today be considered outdated are able to run many interesting AI models. This allowed us to use a lot of space grade hardware and cutting-edge commercial hardware. I collaborate with colleagues from other teams and departments daily. This is the great advantage of working in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality. We provide expert support to other projects, so we get to meet people from every other directorate. It is also a great learning experience because completing a project is a big team effort and we all have an opportunity to learn from experts from other fields.” 💬 – Maris Tali, On-Board Data Processing Engineer #ESA #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Inspiration #QuoteOfTheDay #MotivationalMonday #SuccessQuotes

🌑 We've been exploring how a future Moon base might be built from materials on the lunar surface. Inspired by LEGO, we used dust from a meteorite to 3D-print 'space bricks' to test these ideas.  Our 'space bricks' are on display in selected #LEGO stores from 20 June to 20 September, helping to inspire the next generation of space engineers.

🚀 La première des "Rencontres en apESAnteur", c'était il y a déjà deux mois, au siège de l'ESA à Paris ! Nos experts Loredana Bessone,  Jean-François Clervoy (Officiel), Arnaud Prost et Nathalie Tinjod y ont échangé dans la bonne humeur sur le thème des vols habités. 📺 Compte-rendu et captation 👉https://lnkd.in/gbAfgNHe ---- 🚀The first edition of the new series of public conferences "Rencontres en apESAnteur" took place end of April in ESA's headquarters in Paris! Our experts Loredana Bessone, Jean-Francois Clervoy, Arnaud Prost and Nathalie Tinjod exchanged thoughts on the topic of human spaceflight.

#PickyourPic 📸 Isolated from the outside world with radio- and sound-absorbing internal walls, the Hertz chamber simulates the boundless conditions of space. Its hybrid nature makes it unique: Hertz can assess radio signals from antennas either on a local ‘near-field’ basis or as if the signal has crossed thousands of kilometres of space, allowing it to serve all kinds of satellites and antenna systems.   👏 https://lnkd.in/g8Ur6ReS ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gAea5Aff 👍 https://lnkd.in/gia8YGNj 💡 https://lnkd.in/gydrFPtX 🛰 ESA/Anneke Le Floc'h/G.
