| European Space Agency Flickr Update Posted: 18 Jun 2013 01:43 PM PDT 18-06-2013 04:26 PM CEST   ATV Albert Einstein, Europe's supply and support ferry, docked with the International Space Station on 16 June 2013, some ten days after its launch from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. In this image you can see ATV's four solar panel arrays along with the vertical antenna on top. This antenna is the 'proximity boom' that is used to communicate with the Station. ATV Albert Einstein brought 7 tonnes of supplies, propellants and experiments to the complex. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano oversees the unloading and cataloguing of the cargo of over 1400 individual items. Credits: ESA/NASA      |

| European Space Agency United Kingdom (EN) Update Posted: 17 Jun 2013 05:35 PM PDT 17-06-2013 05:14 PM CEST  Alphasat, the most sophisticated commercial communications satellite ever built, has left Astrium's facilities in Toulouse today after completion of its final integration and test campaign and is now en route to Kourou, French Guyana, to be prepared for its launch aboard an Ariane 5, scheduled for the end of July.  |

The 50th International Paris Air Space Show at Le Bourget will open its doors on Monday 17 June. The Agency's pavilion, situated between the full-size models of the Ariane 1 and Ariane 5 launchers, will feature the wealth of ESA programmes across all space domains, and focus on recent and upcoming launches and their results.

Pedoussaut, 2013 17-06-2013 10:18 AM CEST  The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured this image of nearby spiral galaxy Messier 61, also known as NGC 4303. The galaxy, located only 55 million light-years away from Earth, is roughly the size of the Milky Way, with a diameter of around 100 000 light-years. The galaxy is notable for one particular reason â six supernovae have been observed within Messier 61, a total that places it in the top handful of galaxies alongside Messier 83, also with six, and NGC 6946, with a grand total of nine observed supernovae. In this Hubble image the galaxy is seen face-on as if posing for a photograph, allowing us to study its structure closely. The spiral arms can be seen in stunning detail, swirling inwards to the very centre of the galaxy, where they form a smaller, intensely bright spiral. In the outer regions, these vast arms are sprinkled with bright blue regions where new stars are being formed from hot, dense clouds of gas. Messier 61 is part of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, a massive group of galaxies in the constellation of Virgo (the Virgin). Galaxy clusters, or groups of galaxies, are among the biggest structures in the Universe to be held together by gravity alone. The Virgo Cluster contains more than 1300 galaxies and forms the central region of the Local Supercluster, an even bigger gathering of galaxies. The image was taken using data from Hubbleâs Wide Field Camera 2. Different versions of this image were submitted to the Hubble's Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestants Gilles Chapdelaine, Luca Limatola, and Robert Gendler.

Gendler. 17-06-2013 10:08 AM CEST  Ligeia Mare, shown here in a false-color image from the international Cassini mission, is the second largest known body of liquid on Saturn's moon Titan. It measures roughly 420 km x 350 km and its shorelines extend for over 3,000 km. It is filled with liquid hydrocarbons, such as ethane and methane. The mosaic shown here is composed from synthetic aperture radar images from flybys between February 2006 and April 2007. The Cassini–Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and ASI, the Italian space agency. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASI/Cornell  |
| European Space Agency YouTube Update Posted: 17 Jun 2013 05:30 PM PDT 17-06-2013 07:20 PM CEST  ATV-4 release sequence in 3D taken from ESA's ATV-4 launch recorded with the Sterex experiment. These images provide a stunning view of Europe's cargo vessel ATV separating from its Ariane 5 launcher and being released into free flight.
The video system was developed by Kayser-Threde GmbH for ESA and DLR and integrated on Ariane by Astrium GmbH. Usage for ATV-4 was financed by DLR and ESA and supported by Arianespace and CNES. Copyright: ESA / DLR-BMWi 2013  |
