💫🎉 Behind every successful ESA space mission, there is a woman. Behind Solar Orbiter, there are more than a hundred of them!
Yesterday, we celebrated our 5th launch anniversary - Join us today in celebrating these women who make our mission a success, on international day of women and girls in science!
