Hopper was a proposed European Space Agency (ESA) orbital spaceplane and reusable launch vehicle. The Hopper was a FESTIP (Future European Space Transportation Investigations Programme) system study design.

Apr 22, 2024 · The visual, created by ESA graphic designer Karen Lochtenberg, is in the shape of a space hopper, the bouncy balloon toy familiar to many from their childhood, often connected with the image of a playful alien.

Apr 19, 2024 · ESA’s new class of astronauts is ready to hop on their next adventure, and their class name says it all: the Hoppers. On 22 April, the new ESA astronauts Sophie Adenot, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Rosemary Coogan, Raphaël Liégeois, Marco Sieber and Australian Space Agency astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg graduated from their one-year basic ...

Sep 25, 2023 · We harnessed the synergies between cube-sat design and legged robotics to create SpaceHopper, a three-legged, small-scale robot for mobile exploration of low-gravity celestial bodies.

Apr 22, 2024 · The patch, created by ESA graphic designer Karen Lochtenberg, shows the six new European and Australian astronauts bouncing on their own hoppers, with each ball bearing the colors of the national flag of its rider.

Nov 22, 2023 · SpaceHopper is a legged robot for asteroid exploration. Using its legs SpaceHopper can jump and stabilize itself midair to precisely traverse large spans of terrain. The robot has three legs and utilizes as controller a neural network which is trained in simulation using deep reinforcement learning.

Sep 28, 2022 · University of Leeds’ Professor Andrew Hooper, from the School of Earth and Environment, has been advising ESA for the last four years about the scientific requirement of Harmony for tectonics and volcanoes.

SpaceHopper is a legged robot that is developed to move in low-gravity environments like asteroids. The team behind SpaceHopper is composed of students from ETH Zürich and ZHAW.

Andy Hooper has been Professor of Geodesy and Geophysics at Leeds since May 2013. He has pioneered the development of new algorithms to accurately extract deformation of the ground from time series of satellite radar images, which are now widely used in the community (StaMPS).

Jan 4, 2016 · On the way back to Europe I read in my German news magazine an interesting article about the oldest living person in the UK, Gladys Hooper from the Isle of Wight, now aged 112 years. As I discovered she and my friend Tim, now flying in space, have quite something in …

Works well in urban areas, but not so well in areas without man-made structures. Why? • Lowering the bar for candidate pixels also leads to failure: too many “bad” pixels for network approach. Exploits spatial correlation of the deformation signal. • Low frequencies plus dominant frequencies in surrounding patch are passed.

Andy Hooper, University of Leeds [email protected] This exercise consists of working through an example data set acquired by the Sentinel-1A satellite over Mexico City between October 2014 and August 2015. StaMPS can be used for PS or small baseline analysis (or both combined) but in this exercise you will use
