Each of this things was supposed to be a post of it's own or a part of a thematic post. Oh well ...

This one is from the visit at the main mission control center of the European Space Agency ("European Space Operations Centre" in Darmstadt) - they invited me to give a talk and gave me a nice tour of the facilities, including this showcase with what remains of Cluster I spacecraft after the failure of its carrier rocket. Cluster II went into space four years later, in 2000, and is still used for very cool science by some of my colleagues.
