OYEZ, OYEZ, LA NASA VOUS L'ANNONCE…
Suspense et excitation !
L'agence américaine préparait le spectacle depuis des jours et même des semaines en diffusant une bande-annonce digne d'un show hollywoodien pour préparer les spectateurs à une « simple » annonce de l'équipage d'Artemis II.
Bien entendu, il s'agit d'un SYMBOLE !
Les quatre astronautes seront les premiers depuis Apollo 17 à partir aussi loin autour de notre satellite naturel, et ils représentent pour la NASA un espoir renouvelé autant que l'un des grands points d'orgue d'un programme qui a mis plus d'une décennie à voir le jour.
Cette « nouvelle conquête lunaire » doit d'abord marquer les esprits et bénéficier de l'appui politique et du grand public … Eh oui !!!
D'où ce côté spectacle assumé !
L'ensemble des astronautes présents à Houston se trouvait sur scène, y compris ceux des pays partenaires en formation.
Il y avait aussi les dirigeants de la NASA et François-Philippe Champagne, le pétillant ministre canadien en charge du spatial dans le gouvernement en place.
En effet, cet équipage est bien composé de trois membres de la NASA et d'un Canadien. On retrouve donc Reid Wiseman (commandant), Victor Glover (pilote), Christina Koch (spécialiste de mission) et le Canadien Jeremy Hansen (spécialiste de mission) 😉
Bonne journée les artistes :D

HEAR, HEAR, NASA ANNOUNCES IT TO YOU...
Suspense and excitement!
The American agency had been preparing the show for days and even weeks by releasing a trailer worthy of a Hollywood show to prepare viewers for a "simple" announcement from the crew of Artemis II.
Of course, it is a symbol!
The four astronauts will be the first since Apollo 17 to travel this far around our natural satellite, and they represent renewed hope for NASA as much as one of the great culmination points of a program that has taken more than a decade to come.
This “new lunar conquest” must first mark the spirits and benefit from the political support and the general public… Yes!!!
Hence this assumed side of the show!
All the astronauts present in Houston were on stage, including those of the partner countries in training.
There were also the leaders of NASA and François-Philippe Champagne, the sparkling Canadian minister in charge of space in the government in place.
Indeed, this crew is indeed made up of three NASA members and a Canadian. So we find Reid Wiseman (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist) and Canadian Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist) 😉
Good day artists :D
Hornet recovered the three astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin) and their command module Columbia from the first Moon landing mission, Apollo 11, after splashdown about 900 miles southwest of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean on 24 July 1969. President Nixon was on board to welcome the returning astronauts back to Earth, where they lived in quarantine aboard Hornet prior to transfer to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at Houston. Hornet also recovered Apollo 12 on 24 November. Returning astronauts Charles Conrad, Jr., Alan L. Bean, and Richard F. Gordon, Jr., were picked up from their splashdown point near American Samoa.
Earth’s atmosphere has five layers between the surface of the planet and space. In this image of the Shuttle Endeavor approaching ISS in 2010 we can see the Troposphere (Orange), the Statosphere (White), and the Mesosphere (Blue) from the light of the sun. The next two layers out are the Thermosphere and Exosphere. The Thermosphere is the atmospheric layer in which ISS orbits and the Exosphere is the beginning of true deep space. #funfactfriday #planetsarelikeonions #theyhavelayers

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center! The CRS-10 mission was the companies tenth commercial resupply service mission to the International Space Station.
Norfolk Southern train #052 eases through Dallas, GA with 12 rocket booster sections bound for NASA at Cape Canaveral for use on the Artemis Program. The longest days of the year may be hot but they sure are great for times like these.

Many aurora appear green, but sometimes — as in this image from the International Space Station — other colors such as red can appear. The colors depend on which atoms are causing the splash of light seen in the aurora. In most cases, the light comes when a charged particle sweeps in from the solar wind and collides with an oxygen atom in Earth’s atmosphere. This produces a green photon, so most aurora appear green. However, lower-energy oxygen collisions as well as collisions with nitrogen atoms can produce red photons -- so sometimes aurora also show a red band as seen here.

'Tis the season for holiday decorating and tree-trimming. Not to be left out, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have photographed a festive-looking nearby planetary nebula called NGC 5189. The intricate structure of this bright gaseous nebula resembles a glass-blown holiday ornament with a glowing ribbon entwined.
Planetary nebulae represent the final brief stage in the life of a medium-sized star like our sun. While consuming the last of the fuel in its core, the dying star expels a large portion of its outer envelope. This material then becomes heated by the radiation from the stellar remnant and radiates, producing glowing clouds of gas that can show complex structures, as the ejection of mass from the star is uneven in both time and direction.

Operation IceBridge, NASA’s longest-running airborne mission to monitor polar ice change, concluded this year’s springtime survey of Arctic sea and land ice on May 2. The flights, which began on March 22, covered the western basin of the Arctic Ocean and Greenland’s fastest-changing glaciers.
This image was taken during a research flight carried out on April 21 near Vestfjord Glacier in Scoresby Sund, along the eastern coast of Greenland. The photo shows a large iceberg that has broken the surrounding layer of consolidated sea ice. Flat floes of sea ice with fresh snow on top, areas of open water that are beginning to refreeze and neighboring smaller icebergs are visible.
The mission of Operation IceBridge is to collect data on changing polar land and sea ice and maintain continuity of measurements between NASA’s ICESat missions. The original ICESat mission launched in 2003 and ended in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, is scheduled for launch in September 2018. Operation IceBridge began in 2009 and is currently funded until 2020.

Arches of magnetic field lines towered over the sun’s edge as a pair of active regions began to rotate into view in this video captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory on April 5-6, 2016. Active regions are areas of very concentrated magnetic field. Charged particles spiraling along these magnetic fields emit extreme ultraviolet light, which is typically not visible to our eyes, but colorized here in gold. The light given off from the particles helps trace out the magnetic field lines, which are otherwise invisible.
Scientists use images such as this to observe how magnetic fields move around the sun and learn more about what causes active regions.

Comment: The SOFIA underwent extensive modifications by L-3 Integrated Systems in Waco, Texas, from 1998 to 2007. L-3 Integrated Systems was responsible for the aircraft's modifications including design engineering, airframe structual modifications, telescope design integration, and flight test activities under the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. It was an 80/20 joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. The project was terminated in October 2022.
Approximately 100 undergraduate university and community college students from across the United States were on hand to witness the launch of their experiments and technology demonstration projects on a NASA suborbital rocket Aug. 14, from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. The Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket launched as the sun was rising over the horizon and carried the student projects to an altitude of 98.5 miles. After a brief ride into space, the payload carrying the students’ projects descended by parachute and landed in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 64 miles from the launch site.
