The landing has finally not worked, but the social media feedback was enormous. While the European EDM lander attempted landing on Mars, I have produced a live social-TV coverage on Facebook, broadcasting the final 15 minutes of descent in a new, totally interactive TV environment. An amazing experience, with more than 100K audience permanently watching it.
It has been the longest lasting project for my events‘ career – I have produced the launch event in 2004, several media briefings and events along its ten years‘ flight, the events for wakeup in 2014, for the arrival at its target comet and several ones when it was orbiting it. The Rosetta mission is a superlative by its own and I am happy I could follow it all the way long, the landing in 2014 included, which was broadcasted by more than 200 media from all over the world.
Today afternoon, the Rosetta spacecraft has been deorbited to its target comet’s surface, delivering the final data and images of its outstanding science mission. It was a bit sad to see it all end.
kinderdiary exists since 2010 and is used by a large community as their personal children’s book. Now, it has been fully refurbished and programmed anew in order to meet the expectations of latest OS and App users. kinderdiary comes now with an export and backup function, plus a stable synch via iCloud and lets the entire family share the private moments of our children’s lives – without being exposed to the data grabbing habit of social media platforms. The App works on iPhone and iPad as of iOS7 and was my personal idea and project. There is a next step in development to make it even more useful for the family.
My Fulldome film is finally starting in Japan! A fully re-mastered 26 min version with Japanese narration is shown in the giant dome of the planetarium in Sendai, capital of the prefecture Miyagi, one of the regions worst hit by the 2011 tsunami. 日本 を歓迎します！

A new stop motion video is coming. It is about how radar imaging works, and why radar from space has such great potential to make our lives safer.
The launch of the second Sentinel-1 satellite, due to lift off on 22 April, will be celebrated at ESA’s data centre in Frascati – this is my next event to come, with Italian moderator Gigi Donelli.
The live coverage of the ExoMars launch event was seen by 293K unique viewers with 2.6 Mio minutes on the webcast. I have developed, prepared and directed the stage event for ESA.
On Monday 14th March, Europe and Russia launch their first joint mission to Mars. I am concepting and directing the central European event for ExoMars-16 in Darmstadt.
I have successfully produced the televized event at the launch of the S3A satellite with a total of 26 stage guests, 300+ audience, 70+ media and a wonderful moderator.
My Fulldome Film „Journey to a Billion Suns“ has been licensed by the Planetarium at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. It’s number 63 since its opening in January 2014.
