Where will you be watching?

#seeingtheseas #Space4Climate #SociallyDistantSentinerds

Later tonight is the launch of #Sentinel6 (3:47 AM my local time). I've been learning so much following the lead up of this amazing multi-agency project, so excited!

#seeingtheseas #Sentinerd #Space4Climate

Some accounts to follow (this one) & the ⬇️

Want to catch up? Here are a few resources! Like this article about the top ten must-know facts about the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6➡️ esa.int/Applications/O…

& grab a 'passport' for tonight⬇️
There has been so much entertaining content released for the lead up to the @CopernicusEU #sentinel6 launch. Too much to choose from to just have one favourite. Drop a link, share to help highlight some of the amazing content from this project! #seeingtheseas #sentinerd
I really enjoyed all the Q & A's about the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 project like this one @eumetsat! So many have been held across social media platforms (& in different languages!) It's so cool the experts took the time to answer the questions!

#seeingtheseas #Sentinerd ImageImage
Also, content in multiple languages! Like this Q & A hosted by @ESA_EO, a series of enjoyable panels conducted a few weeks ago in different languages (English, French, German & Italian respectively).

Watch all here⬇️ esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…
There are also so many interviews with amazing people on the #Sentinel6 project, like this one with @NASA's Shannon Statham, Integration Test Engineer! Which interviews have you watched?

My assistant Marionette will be joining me to watch the launch (pictured below playing during our lunch break). Who will you be watching the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 launch with?

So far so good at @esaoperations! All systems green 🥰😍💚

I personally think the @CopernicusEU #sentinel6 looks like a puppy. What does the #Sentinel6 look like to you? According to @BBCAmos it looks like a kennel 🤣

I'm wasn't really sure at first how to start this, but I wanted to start to speak a bit about mental health. As this is a #space page, I decided to start with some research. In #spacepscyhology researchers consider #mentalhealth. (1/9) #MentalHealthAwareness
#space #pscyhologists look to studies in Antarctica (an extreme, isolated environment) to essentially have a larger population to study due to the small sample size of our astronauts currently. In addition to speaking with current & former astronauts. (2/9) #AcademicMentalHealth
I hope though, I can encourage others to have that conversation informally. I've seen the benefit of starting this conversation in practice. Especially in my classmates while I study at university, and even colleagues at a conference. (3/9) #AcademicMentalHealth

As a budding science communicator, I follow #science & #space info campaigns not only for entertainment, I follow to learn. One of the campaigns that have been a masterclass in comms of the #CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 project. (My thread on the launch campaign ⬇️)#scicomm #sentinerd
I also enjoyed #NASAHalloween campaign, this year they not only released some amazing posters (see below) but they also had a playlist of amazing spooky space music➡️ soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/sini…

@NASAJPL @Caltech I'm also learning a lot from the amazing media team at the @AusAntarctic. Their account is so much fun, they share the phenomenal work being done in #Antarctica! And interesting highlights from the animal life there, like this⬇️

Greetings from South Australia! Due to a COVID-19 cluster the events this week I was planning to tweet from in-person COVID safe events will instead be covered virtually. Because my mum is a high-risk case, I'm happy to be at home to keep the community safe. #StaySafeStayHome
You can normally follow me at @melaniejward. I tweet to help boost events across STEM in #space, #archaeology & #tech, share events I organise as well as interesting news I come across all while balancing #ADHD, #volunteering, job hunting and uni work.

#ISUNET #flindersuni Image
My mask has @ISUnet's logo. I'm a proud scholarship student from this year's @isu_shssp. The masks are also a thank you gift, as part of #ISUNET's scholarship drive to support others attend so they too can recognise their potential in space. #ASC20
