It will more generally address satellite engineering. a eolus was placed into orbit by a Vega rocket on August 22\, 2018\, from Ko urou in French Guiana. Its mission is to measure the speed of the winds al l around the Earth and up to 30 kilometers in altitude. The mission is a w orld first\, completed and a success. The data is great and is daily used for weather forecast. We will share a bit of the history\, emotions and sc ientific and technical knowledge of aeolus. The basic principles of aeolus are simple and can be understood by everyone without any prior technical or scientific knowledge. The conference will cover the mission of aeolus\, the orbit and its constraints\, some technical elements of the constructi on of aeolus\, the principles of measurement\, the telescope\, the laser\, some of the major difficulties and how they were resolved. We will talk a bout terminator\, cargo\, soap bubbles\, red lights\, Lego\, pressure cook er\, black light\, magnetic field detector possibly.
