"ESA's Euclid Space Telescope: Tracking the Solar System's Secrets from Space"

The Euclid spacecraft is on its journey to Lagrange point L2, and mission controllers at ESOC in Darmstadt are preparing the spacecraft's equipment, telescope, and scientific instruments for routine science observations. Recent operations include releasing the high-gain antenna, activating the wheel mechanisms inside the NISP instrument, and de-icing the telescope mirrors. Euclid is now the biggest transmitter of data from trans-lunar space, surpassing the James Webb Space Telescope. The spacecraft successfully executed critical orbit maneuvers and is on course to join Gaia and Webb around Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2.
