columbia has one of the european space agency's most complex missions. the probe will fly by the earth venus and mercury a total of nine times using the gravity of those planets to decelerate and avoid being drawn to its doom by the sun's huge gravitational pull it will finally enter all bit around mercury in december two thousand and twenty five when it will release its two research satellites and it's a complicated trajectory we have to follow to get to mercury it's not actually getting there that's difficult but it is very difficult to maneuver into orbit that's what makes this flight path complicated and that has to do with the fact that mercury is so close to the sun. a simple straight flight path would send the craft hurtling directly into the sun our home stars a huge mass would make entering orbit around mercury impossible. so close to the sun temperatures are extreme baby colombo will have to withstand conditions of up to four hundred fifty degrees celsius but parts of the planet that never see the sun can be as cold as minus one hundred eighty

the baby columbus spacecraft has lifted off from the european space agency's board in french this is the e.s.a. is new mission to explore the planet. launched just a few hours ago the craft is going to win satellites bonnie european and one japanese it believes them into orbit around the smallest of the rocky planets there they will spend at least a year mapping and analyzing the sun's closest planetary neighbor. baby colombo is one of the european space agency's most complex missions the probe will fly by the earth venus and mercury a total of nine times using the gravity of those planets to decelerate and avoid being drawn to its doom by the sun's huge gravitational pull it will finally end to orbit around mercury in december two thousand and twenty five when it will release its two research satellites this is new it's a complicated trajectory we have to follow to get to mercury it's not actually getting there that's difficult but it is very difficult to maneuver into orbit that's what makes this flight path complicated and that has to do with the fact that mercury is so close to th

moons have eluded scientists for decades until now taking the clues from kaplan or the nasa european space agency hubble space telescope was enlisted to confirm the findings and it looks like they're pretty close to doing so while observing a large gas giant called kepler one six two five b. about eight thousand light years from earth scientists are able to see deviations and wobbles when the moon and its orbit pass between hubble and kepler one six two five b. the exo moon is about four times larger than earth but since it's a gas moon and a gas plan it wouldn't be habitable so don't go close to going to just. say nasa and the european space agency just shoes keep a ming for that x. own because even if you're wrong you'll still be out looking among most oh i love it sixty years old sixty's congratulations that survives a birthday i enjoy so a bird yes you know that's going to grow those that are good we're going to get is rather that it is over there a little but i've got to say happy birthday for the what happened for all of us are watching or excuse what the great work that you're doing that i

certainly wish you much success in mastering this situation mr young verna director general of the european space agency joining us tonight mr berger thank you very much we appreciate your time. as i said the german astronaut alexander garrett he is the commander on board the international space station and he shared this image of the soyuz just after it shot through the earth's atmosphere moments before the technical difficulties became apparent also tweeted praise for the rescue team that ensured the astronaut survival today showed again what an amazing vehicle the soyuz is to be able to save the crew from such a failure spaceflight is hard and we must keep trying for the benefit of humankind he tweeted. we're here in germany we are three days away from one of the most pivotal regional elections that the country has seen in decades in bavaria polls show the c.s.u. the conservative sister party of chancellor angela merkel falling below forty percent for the first time ever now the head of the c.s.u. horst is a hope for is also germany's interior minister today sounding like a politician on the campaign

without any doubt a bad days as well but on the other hand as the russian space agency gets lots of support for example from the european space agency its director general johan verna writes that the safe return of the crew shows how extremely reliable the so u.s. transport system is so i think russia still has the image of a great space nation despite the temporary suspending of manned space flights. they were headed for the international space station you saw use rocket for now is the only way to get there so what about the astronauts who are on board the international space station. well this certainly isn't reason to panic i question for survival for them as there is enough food water and oxygen on the ice as at least for the next healthy also astronauts on the ice as can return to earth in the space shuttle docked on the ais as about the astronauts on the us s. now will definitely be short handed they wore a supposed to be five people and now with there are just three at least for the time being of the german command and it's time to get us to will have to change its plans now there will be obviously thought few ex

shed the light on the cause of the incident on thursday we hear that they had open nasr and european space agency already offered their assistance helping the investigation we expect the first results spiked over twenty five but already now we hear that separation system all function might be cause of collision again this is just preliminary suggestion they had of men programs in russian space agency ross cos most mr critical of provided more on what is happening right now on. the commission history roots were the first rocket programs have already been found and the results are expected by the twentieth of october our systems to help analyze the reasons for would happen. until the exact cause of the incident is found all the space flies must be. suspended but a very good news for both alexei of cheney and in the hague we hear from the head of russian ross coarseness that they will why do the international space station next spring already. nasa watch on as the ejection system jettisons the crew module away from the rocket boosters before the tons of high explosive fuel detonate and we have lift

the russian space agency gets lots of support, for example, from the european space agency, its director general right that the safe return of the crew shows how extremely reliable the transport system is, so i think russia still has the image of a great space nation despite the temporary suspending of manned space flights. >> they were headed for the international space station. this rocket is the only way for now to get there. what about the astronauts who are on board the inteational space statn? flex this certnly is not a reason for panic or a question for survival for them. there is enough food, water, and oxygen on the iss for at least the next year. also, astronauts on the iss can return to earth in a knuckle spit -- and another space shuttle docked on th iss. the astronauts will now be shorthanded. there were supposed to be five people. now there are just three, at least for the time being. the german commander will have to change his plans now. there will bewalks anymore, so having fewer astronauts is not that dramatic or that bad, but it's t great, especially because nobody can

by can one of us earlier we heard from dr david brown who works at the european space agency's plato mission and he told us that the crew had a very lucky escape the g. forces they experienced significantly higher than than usual for launch or re-entry because of the trajectory they had to type it can force blood away from logan it can cause temporary blackouts and they're all a lot of quite severe consequences so given the conditions in the capsule it's possible that they could do if they could have come out of this much worse and they did i think we should all be very thankful. these systems which have been designed for just this eventuality have worked exactly as they've been designed today well those involved have had a harrowing experience it's hard to imagine what family and friends of the crew have been going through some of the relatives have already met with the cosmonauts while others are still waiting artie's daniel hawkins is at star city for us where the crew will eventually return. the incident we've seen today is of course of the last one took place in nine hundred eig

think it's probably wonder if not the safest human spacecraft in the world the head of the european space agency says it's astronauts will continue to use oil as well kit that the agency is ready to help in the on going investigation. there is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using so use for the next us amounts but also for some other work or not so we do not see that there is a change in plan for the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done quickly and then we go just under current. hearts to us course months that ego is ready to participate in the investigation because of course we're interested in getting all the information next time be you want to have another you have been asked about it the middle of next year. it seems like scientists are being morning of the threat of climate change for ages but is anyone really listening in case you missed it with r.t. is partly boyko has some rather unique ideas on how to draw more attention to the problem. or the. great say we're at the u.n. saying that they'll be a castro for somet

and i think it's probably one or if not the safest your mic spacecraft in the world and the european space agency says the organization will continue to use soyuz rockets to other ready to help in the investigation. there is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using also use for the next astronauts but also how some of our allies so we do not see a change in plan the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done quickly and then we go just on. our hearts who was crossed mars is ready to participate in the. investigation because of course we're interested in getting our information next time. we want to have another european astronaut a committal next year. this may come as a surprise or not seems nearly two thirds of e.u. citizens think life would not be worse if the bloc didn't exist according to a new study the friends of europe think tanks findings are part of a push to highlight a perceived growing disconnect between the e.u. leaders and its people the group also found that nearly half of those polled think the e.u. is a relevant tra

i think it's probably one of if not the safest human spacecraft in the world a head of the european space agency says its astronauts will continue to you so it's rocket citing that the agency is ready to help in the ongoing investigation. there is no change of plans so we're looking forward to not only using so use for the next astronauts but also for some of our satellites and so we do not see that there is a change in plan the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done precisely and then we go just on spent. two was crossed months that he is ready to participate in the. misty gaze and because of course we're interested in getting all the information next time. you want to have another you have been asked some other committee of next year. now it seems like scientists have been warning of the threat of climate change for ages but is anyone really listening in case you missed it with artie's polyploid who has a lot unique ideas on how to fold more attention to the problem. all of the toll. also total overall state. of. the u.n. saying that they'll be a ca

formed to shed the light on the causes of the incident we hear that they had of not saying european space agency have already offered there is systems in the investigation and we expect the first results by corporate twenty five not before that but already now we hear that suppuration system all function might be the cause of collision again this is just for a layman the recent gesture and we have to wait for official results for at least like two weeks is going to take and we hear that until then the exact cause is determined all spaceflights must be suspended. so what actually happened just a brief to remind you everything appeared to be go in very well yesterday and then less than two minutes into the flight a problem was reported with the booster rocket between the first and second stages separated in the mergence escape system reacted to this immediately and that was automatically done by suppurating the crew capsule and alexi of cine no need haig for who by the way that was supposed to be his first flights to the international space station lended safely in kazakhstan and now they're back

and we hear it that the heads of nasa and the european space agency already offered their assistance their help in this investigation we hear it that two weeks packed the first results by october twenty fifth but already now we hear that super ration system out function might be cause of collision again this is just for a limb in the real suggestion investigation ease and to go in let's now listen to what they had all meant programs at the russian space agency ross course most told us. through our ability to commission history roots wars which refers to rocket fragments have already been found and the results are expected by between two thirds of tuber our systems to help analyze the reasons for would have to move to a new. russian space agency ross coarseness has just reported that to us ease north go in to discontinue using russian services to fly their astronauts to the international space station and the good news for alexei of chaining an e k we hear from the head of ross cost me to the cause in that they will fly to the international stage space station and their flight is shou

the head of the european space agency says it's astronauts will continue to you saw his rockets adding and the agency is ready to help in the ongoing investigation. there is no change of plans so we are looking forwards to not only using muscle use for the next astronauts but also has some of our economics and so we do not see that there is a change in plan the most important thing is now to find out who course and i hope that this can be done precisely and then we go just on spent on hart who was cross marks that is ready to participate in the. mr gates and because of course we're interested in getting all the information next time. we want to have another european astronaut or committal next year. seems like scientists have been warning of the threat of climate change for ages but is anyone really listening in case you missed it by the authors polly pica has some rather ideas on how to draw more attention to the problem. levels over the top of us to save the. cost of almost. the un saying that they'll be a catastrophe and something isn't done to keep global warming to below one point
