Euclid Mission: Shedding Light on the Dark Universe
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency's Euclid spacecraft has been fuelled with hydrazine and gaseous nitrogen ahead of its launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9. The mission aims to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe by creating the largest, most accurate 3D map of the Universe across space and time. Euclid will use ten hydrazine thrusters and six cold gas micro-propulsion thrusters to complete its journey to Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2 and stay in orbit for at least six years.
