#ESA's #Hera is scheduled for launch on a #SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA, today, Monday 7 October, at 16:52 CEST / 15:52 BST.
Hera mission will visit #Dimorphos — the asteroid that NASA's #DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft knocked off course in September 2022. Hera will assess the aftermath of that impact and study both the surface and internal structure of the asteroid in greater detail.
📢Launch Update!
#NASA and #SpaceX are standing down from the Oct. 10, launch attempt of the agency’s #EuropaClipper mission due to anticipated hurricane conditions in the area.
Once the storm passes, recovery teams will assess the safety of the spaceport and the launch processing facilities for damage before personnel return to work.
Launch window remains open until Nov 6th

Illegal immigrants? Oh wait, I am sorry, It was a Domestic White supremacist neo-nazi gang
No #comet C/2023 A3 this morning. Too much humidity obscured horizon lost chance we'll before sun rose.
But it was a nice sunrise
Have to try and see it on the flip side
I fell asleep with my "Barenaked Ladies" T shirt on...
I woke up and It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me...
Going to see if i can view #comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) sunday morning. I have clear skies and picked a spot I think might have a good view
During the #Cert2 launch of the #ULA #Vulcan rocket not only an SRB nozzle was lost, leading to a modified ascent profile to recover - in the end the Centaur upper stage was sent (intentionally or not) onto a hazardous heliocentric orbit that could have it crash into Earth in 2029
Now they have to keep track of Asteroids that are Rocket Bodies.
Some good news (posted by the assistant principal).
Also, public schools care.
Also at the Rally, Elon Mush called himself Ultra MAGA
And Trump said "WE are going to mars at the end of his term"
Which would be news to all the Orbiters, probes and rovers already there.
Conservatives voters are not even listening to Bill Lee, Thom Tillis, Brian Kemp, and other local Republicans are telling Trump to knock it off while they try to get good information out about the #Helene Disasters. Nothing but Praise for FEMA and the Biden Administration by Leaders at the local level
The GOP is the Cult of Trump. And he will spin anything to his advantage, even a disaster in a Red county that normally supports him
Trump and Vance have a new phrase for national abortion ban, which is “national minimum standard.” That’s just an #abortion ban. They’re using it to claim Trump doesn’t support an abortion ban when he does, and much of the media is trying to help sell it for them
They sell it by saying they want exceptions.. that can never be proven
they want to ban interstate travel for abortion via Comstock act
they want a national Abortion ban
