Our astronaut Sophie Adenot shared this video on her social media channels with the caption:
[EN] Day 100, orbit 1547 — Sunday morning science with Sophie, episode 8: orbital mechanics and understanding the high beta angle period…
This high beta period happens about 4 times per year and lasts 7 to 10 days each time. I recorded this two weeks ago already, so we’re back to alternating between 45 minutes of daylight and 45 minutes of night!
[FR] Jour 100, orbite 1547 – La science du dimanche matin avec Sophie, épisode 8 : comprendre ce qu’est la période d’angle bêta élevé…
Cette période d’angle bêta élevé se produit environ 4 fois par an, et dure à chaque fois de 7 à 10 jours. J’ai enregistré ça il y a déjà deux semaines, donc nous sommes de retour à une alternance de 45 minutes de jour et 45 minutes de nuit !
