Last year, in April 2020, @esaoperations and the STIX team powered me up for the first time in Space and established first contact. A fantastic moment!🚀🛰️☀️

This November, @ESASolarOrbiter enters the nominal mission phase. So, I thought it would be time to look back at when @stix_so was turned on in Space for the first time and share this video with you: watch.videodelivery.net/d9e4… #rocketscience #space #amazingteam #soproud #lifegoals

#EOVSA observed in microwaves the same flare reported today by the Solar Orbiter X-ray Spectrometer/Telescope (STIX) team. The microwaves show the presence of high energy electrons. Compare the time profiles! #SolarOrbiter #TheSunUpClose @stix_so

NECP has started up again. Time for round 2! After autonomously (and nominally!) observing the (quiet) Sun for 2 weeks, we are back online running various detector tests to learn more about their performance. Science team is eagerly awaiting the latest calibration spectra.

Day one of my Near Earth Commissioning Phase 1 was a success. Now I am collecting data until tomorrow noon, when we‘ll continue looking at all my nooks and crannies. I am getting so much great support from @esaoperations, @ESASolarOrbiter and the STIX team. Thank you all! 🚀🛰☀️

Getting slowly, but surely, VERY excited. Don‘t miss out on the launch. Monday morning at 05:03 CET we‘ll be off on our journey to the Sun. Link to ESA WebTV in retweet.

Parker Solar Probe is launching soon. Go online now and watch the launch live on NASA TV: nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#… #launch #live #SolarProbe
After my delivery last summer, my identical twin, the STIX ground unit, is being built. Parts of the detector electronics are integrated at @FHNWTechnik right now! Pictures show the Caliste detectors (pics 1+2), the shutter (pic 3), and the grids (pic 4).

Parker Solar Probe is in the Swiss News (German, @srfnews). And I am mentioned too! srf.ch/play/tv/redirect/deta… #ParkerSolarProbe #SolarOrbiter
Good news everyone: I passed the thermal test at @unibern. Now the Caliste, my detectors, are being tested. I'll keep you posted!
