NASA unveils its Orion spacecraft for the Artemis 2 space mission, at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral in Florida. The mission scheduled for late 2024, will take a crew of four astronauts to the Moon. IMAGES
NASA launched the most powerful rocket ever built on a journey to the Moon on Wednesday, marking the start of the space agency's new flagship program, Artemis. The 32-story tall Space Launch System (SLS) blasted off from the storied Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 01:47 am (0647 GMT). IMAGES
NASA scraps its launch of a 30-story rocket due to orbit the Moon, citing a fuel leak in delaying the mission for a second time. The leak occurred as liquid hydrogen was being pumped into the rocket. No new date for another try was immediately announced. IMAGES
A test flight of NASA's powerful new Moon rocket may be possible on Friday, Artemis 1 mission manager Mike Sarafin says, after the US space agency scrubbed Monday's launch because of an engine issue. "Friday is definitely in play," Sarafin tells reporters. SOUNDBITE
Petit à petit, la sonde spatiale Voyager 1 s’approche d’un cap très symbolique : celui du jour-lumière de distance avec la Terre. Du jamais-vu. Voyager 1 a quitté la Terre il y a un peu plus de 48 ans et 2 mois. Toujours active, elle poursuit son odyssée de plus en plus loin dans le cosmos, tant bien que mal, là où aucune autre mission ne s’était jamais rendue auparavant.
