Our astronaut Luca Parmitano is assigned as pilot of NASA’s #ArtemisIII mission.
With Europe powering Orion with the European Service Module, this mission will test the critical operations preparing for humankind's return to the Moon.
A strong step forward for ESA–NASA partnership.

Imagine tu développes un système hyper pointu de reconnaissance faciale/âge qui coute des millions et un gamin de 12 ans avec un marqueur à 2 euros te détruit.
Earthshine.
Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.
L'ANTS n'a pas corrigé deux failles qui ont été remontées par un hacker éthique...
L'article relate qu'une des failles de sécurité serait similaire à celle qui aurait été exploitée et a conduit à la fuite de données de 12M de comptes...
C'EST UNE BOMBE 💣
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Voici à quoi ressemble l'ouverture d'une capsule après son retour de la Lune.
Depuis qu'ils ont atterri, l'équipage a déjà tout préparé pour l'évacuation: rangement des sièges, etc.
Ceux qui rentrent dans la capsule sont accueillis par une odeur *intense*.
De Mach-32 au grand splash, en seulement 13 minutes : c’est bientôt la fin du voyage pour Artemis II. La capsule Orion de la Nasa doit amerrir ce vendredi dans les eaux du Pacifique (demain matin, à 02h07, pour nous). Pour suivre en direct : https://t.co/EB2v4riwD9

It was inspiring to watch the Artemis II launch yesterday — @NASA’s first crewed mission around the moon since 1972. Our space program has always captured an essential part of what it means to reach beyond what we thought was possible, and I hope the four brave astronauts on this mission will inspire a new generation to follow in their footsteps.
Coup de tonnerre dans le programme Artemis !
L'atterrissage d'Artemis III est annulé et remplacé par un test sur orbite basse terrestre en 2027.
Mais ce n'est pas la plus grosse surprise 👇
Mission VA267: Relive the liftoff of mission VA267.
Ariane 6, in its Ariane 64 configuration, just lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, carrying 32 @Amazonleo satellites into Low Earth Orbit.
▶️ Watch the replay of this incredible lift off.
This launch marked the first Arianespace mission supporting the deployment of @Amazonleo, Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation whose mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks.
The mission continues…

🌍 Meet Planet Gaia, the zero-g indicator for #Crew12. This crocheted toy confirms that they've reached space. It has Earth at the centre and four satellites chosen by each astronaut.
🍌 @Soph_astro chose a banana: "A common fresh fruit on Earth, yet rarely eaten in orbit. I wanted a playful reminder of kitchens and homes, a familiar piece of Earth."

China performed a successful in-flight abort test of the Mengzhou crew spacecraft and a reentry, powered descent and splashdown of a first stage CZ-10A today. Big step for its lunar and human spaceflight programs.
Six fois plus d'hommes que de femmes ont pris part à une mission dans l'espace. Si la parité est encore loin d'être respectée en apesanteur, des progrès ont malgré tout été accomplis ces dernières années. Mon interview de Claudie Haigneré : https://t.co/t1eXXQvwEC
