More sad news. Talgat flew on three spaceflights, sharing spacecraft with Ulf Merbold (landing), Claudie Haignere (landing) and Leopold Eyrharts (launch). He visited ESA ESTEC a few years ago as a guest of André Kuipers, and met NASA astronaut Millie Hughes-Fulford (now also no longer with us).

A high-resolution color image of Mars with the small, dark, potato shaped satellite Phobos, seen in sharp contrast as it passes over the massive volcano Olympus Mons. Phobos appears irregular and shadowed against the softly rust-colored Martian surface. Olympus Mons is a vast, circular shield volcano with gently sloping sides and a well-defined summit caldera at its center. Its broad base spans a large portion of the Martian surface, and subtle ridges can be seen radiating outward. The caldera appears slightly depressed, ringed by multiple nested collapse pits, giving it a rugged, textured look amid the surrounding smooth plains.

3/n 🧵

Here's a zoom in to remember: Phobos over Olympus
