Outreach
For some years the Rosetta mission has drawn a lot of interest from both media and public and all involved in this mission have had many media contacts and been involved in many outreach activities since the wake-up of the spacecraft, giving us a great chance promote space science to the public. This year I have given a number of talks presenting the European mission to Jupiter in 2030, JUICE, where there is a hug Swedish involvement. Some examples of my recent outreach activities and talks are given below.
