Billions & billions ✨
I was lucky to work on many amazing missions at ESA, including Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, JUICE, Cassini, LISA Pathfinder, ExoMars TGO, SOHO, Mars & Venus Express, Cluster, CHEOPS, XMM, HST, Euclid, & of course Rosetta & JWST.
But arguably none are as fundamental as Gaia, the results from which will underpin all of #astronomy for decades to come ✊
It celebrates 10 years of science observations today & will likely stop in 2025 🫡
