To increase the scientific return from our science missions, we're looking for scientists interested in research based on publicly available data in the ESA Space Science Archives.
Check out our Archival Research Visitor Programme 👉 cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/visi…

ALT A graphic showcasing ESA’s space science exploration missions in the Solar System, including upcoming collaborative missions with partner agencies and missions of opportunity. The graphic indicates which missions are in development in the upper part, active in the middle and legacy at the bottom. The missions are also organised by their object of study, from the Sun to the far left to Neptune at the far right.

Did you know that Mars has clouds too? ☁️
And now you can explore them from home, with a new browsable collection of 20 years of cloud and storm images from our #MarsExpress.

Phobos - Martian moon or captured Jovian comet?! Intriguing study by Prof Sonia Fornasier @LesiaAstro with @esa @esascience #MarsExpress mission showing surface properties akin to Comet 67P & other Jupiter comets. Important work for @mmx_jaxa_en landing.

Fascinating discovery of possible lava flows on Venus from legacy Magellan data - augurs well for our upcoming @esa @esascience #EnVision mission to Venus that will map from upper atmosphere to planet core, with contributions from our @NASA friends. esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
Magellan images reveal recent lava flows on Venus, can we get some follow-up mission up in here?

Stunning!
The many scars inflicted upon the 🔴 Red Planet have intriguing stories to tell.

It’s official, I have been adopted! Time to celebrate!
📢 @ESA adopts two ambitious space science missions: Venus voyager #EnVision and gravitational wave surfer #LISA.
“These trailblazing missions will take us to the next level in two extraordinarily exciting areas of space science and keep European researchers at the forefront of these domains,” says ESA Director of Science @CGMundell
The ‘adoption’ step recognises that the missions' concept and technology are sufficiently advanced, and gives the go-ahead to build the instruments and spacecraft. Both spacecraft are planned to launch with an #Ariane6

Take another trip through Mars’s ‘labyrinth of night’ 🌚
It's a place unlike any other in the Solar System, with deep valleys and canyons stretching up to 30 km wide and 6 km deep.

#MerryChrismas from #Mars!
#OTD 20 years ago, 25 December 2003, ESA's Mars Express entered orbit around the ‘Red Planet’, the first European spacecraft to do so, after a journey lasting 205 days and covering 400 million km.

This is great! Always good to see more ways to access data from @ESA_TGO, alongside tools at @esapsanews
Want to see more Mars images?
We are happy to announce that JMARS now hosts the @ExoMars_CaSSIS image data up through November 2022. No need to update your JMARS version-- the new CaSSIS stamp layer is automatically available.

A green glow in the martian night.
This is how the sky might look like to an astronaut exploring the polar regions of #Mars. 👨🏽🚀🌌
For the first time, a visible nightglow has been detected in the martian atmosphere by the @ESA_TGO mission.
