Les ingénieurs de la NASA ont résolu un problème inattendu sur le rover Curiosity lorsque sa foreuse est restée bloquée sur un rocher sur Mars. Cet incident marquait la première fois que l'agence était confrontée à ce problème spécifique. Il a fallu près d'une semaine pour libérer l'outil.

Le rover Curiosity, qui a réalisé de nombreuses découvertes à la surface de Mars, a rencontré un nouveau contretemps lorsque sa foreuse s'est logée dans un rocher. La NASA a confirmé qu'il s'agissait du premier incident de ce type dans l'histoire de la mission.

Researchers test semi-autonomous legged robot for planetary surfaces

2 avril 2026 Rapporté par l'IA

Scientists from the University of Basel, ETH Zurich, and the European Space Agency have tested a quadrupedal robot equipped with a robotic arm to explore planetary surfaces more efficiently. The robot navigated rocky terrain autonomously, identifying targets and collecting data faster than traditional human-guided methods. The findings, published this week, suggest it could accelerate resource prospecting and searches for signs of life on the moon and Mars.

International Space Station regains full crew after month alone

A Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Valentine’s Day, bringing four new astronauts and restoring NASA's full complement in orbit. The arrival followed an early return of a Crew-11 member due to a health emergency, leaving a single NASA astronaut to manage operations alone for over a month. The new crew members are Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway from NASA, Sophie Adenot from the European Space Agency, and Andrey Fedyaev from Roscosmos.

Artemis II crew passes halfway mark en route to lunar flyby

4 avril 2026 Rapporté par l'IA

NASA's Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the halfway point to the Moon following Wednesday's translunar injection burn, continuing smooth progress on the historic 10-day mission—the first crewed trip beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17. The crew is on track for a lunar far-side flyby tomorrow and observations on April 6.

Study uncovers complex magma system under young Mars volcano

A new study reveals that a volcano south of Pavonis Mons on Mars formed through multiple eruptive phases powered by an evolving magma system, challenging earlier assumptions of a single eruption. Researchers used orbital imaging and mineral data to trace the volcano's development. The findings indicate Mars's interior was more active than previously thought.

NASA's Van Allen Probe A to reenter Earth's atmosphere this week

11 mars 2026 Rapporté par l'IA

NASA's Van Allen Probe A satellite, launched in 2012 to study Earth's radiation belts, is set to reenter the atmosphere early this week after running out of fuel in 2019. The agency has approved a safety waiver due to the reentry's risk exceeding government standards, though the chance of harm remains low at 1 in 4,200. Most of the 1,323-pound spacecraft will burn up, with some debris potentially reaching the surface.
