Le 30 septembre prochain, la sonde Rosetta s’écrasera lentement et délibérément sur la comète autour de laquelle elle orbite depuis deux ans. Or elle n’a pas été conçue pour cela. L’issue sera fatale. Mais avant cette dernière manoeuvre, les scientifiques ont prévu d’effectuer des relevés inédits à l’approche de “Tchouri”.

ESA Euronews: Sport and Internet via satellite
Dozens of Euro 2016 matches are being beamed via satellite to television sets and phones all over the world this summer. But did you know that there is a technology, based on internet and satellite, that allows even a small football club to live stream their games and target a new audience?
Claudio Rosmino and the Space team travelled to Italy to see this innovation in action – and also to France to explore the science behind the technology.

ESA Euronews: Growing food in space
Is is possible to produce food to eat and air to breathe while in space? The short answer: it’s not easy, but it can be done.
Right now, if you’re an astronaut, you’re given pre-prepared food that was cooked on Earth and sent into space on a rocket. But if humankind wants to realise its ambition of travelling much further into the solar system it needs to find ways to create food and air while surrounded by the nothingness of space.

ESA Euronews: Mezőgazdaság az űrben
Ha manapság valaki kiruccan az űrbe, egyfajta űrmenüt kap enni. A Földön gyártják, csomagolják, majd kilövik az űrbe egy rakétán. Ez működik is addig, amíg a Föld körüli pályán keringünk, de mi van, ha valaki messzebbre akar utazni? Ehhez élelmet és levegőt kellene előállítani az űrhajón. Lehetséges ez? A Space Brémában és Barcelonában próbált utánajárni.
Nem könnyű élelmiszert termelni az űrben, de nem is lehetetlen. Orosz űrhajósok fogyasztottak először űrgabonát 2003-ban, és tavaly augusztusban amerikai kozmonauták majszolták el az első űrben termett salátát. De egy hosszú űrutazáshoz ennél több kell. A Melissa konzorcium – az Európai Űrügynökség támogatásával készült – kutatásából kiderült, pontosan mennyi.

ESA Euronews: Comida espacial
¿A qué se parece la comida espacial? Iremos a Bremen y Barcelona para conocer la respuesta.
No es fácil producir comida en el espacio pero es posible. Cosmonautas rusos le hincaron el diente al primer cultivo experimental en 2003 y, el pasado mes de agosto, astronautas estadounidenses se deleitaron con la primera lechuga espacial. Pero aventurarse a ser agricultor espacial no es tan fácil.

$50,000 humanoid robot built from scratch in Hong Kong
Like innumerable children with imaginations fired by animated films, Hong Kong product and graphic designer Ricky Ma grew up watching cartoons featuring the adventures of robots, and dreamed of building his own one day.
Unlike most, however, Ma has realised his childhood dream at the age of 42, by successfully constructing a life-sized robot from scratch on the balcony of his home.
The fruit of his labours of a year-and-a-half, and a budget of more than $50,000, is a female robot prototype he calls the Mark 1, modelled after a Hollywood star whose name he wants to keep under wraps. It responds to a set of programmed verbal commands spoken into a microphone.

ESA Euronews: Un village sur la Lune ?
Le directeur général de l’Agence spatiale européenne dit vouloir construire une base permanente sur la Lune. Ce projet incroyable prend peu à peu forme à mesure que les scientifiques européens commencent à sérieusement y réfléchir. Nous avons rencontré quelques-uns de ceux qui pourraient faire de ce rêve, une réalité, notamment au Centre européen des astronautes à Cologne.
“J’ai l’intention de construire une base permanente sur la Lune : ce sera une station ouverte pour différents Etats participants, des pays des quatre coins du monde,” explique posément le nouveau directeur général de l’Agence spatiale européenne.

ESA Euronews: Bald ein Dorf auf dem Mond?
Die Europäische Weltraumorganisation ESA will ein tollkühnes Projekt in Angriff nehmen: Sie will ein Dorf auf dem Mond bauen. Die permanente Station soll an dem Ort entstehen, an dem einst die Russen landeten und die Amerikaner erste Schritte machten. ESA-Chef Jan Woerner hat eine Vision: “Ich will eine permanente Mondstation bauen. Es wäre eine offene Station für mehrere Länder aus der ganzen Welt.”
Die Apollo-Ära hat gezeigt, dass Träume Wirklichkeit werden können. Die Forscher damals hatten ein klares Ziel vor Augen: die Mondlandung. ESA-Astronaut Andreas Mogensen scheint zuversichtlich: “In den 1960er Jahren haben sie das innerhalb von zehn Jahren geschafft. Heute sind wir technologisch gesehen viel weiter. Wir können es also noch einmal machen.”
Die Mondstation würde die Internationale Raumstation, ISS, ablösen. Sie wäre das neue gemeinsame Raumfahrt-Projekt, an dem alle teilnehmen könnten. “Die Amerikaner, die Russen, die Chinesen, die Inder und die Japaner werden mitmachen. Und andere Länder werden ebenfalls etwas beisteuern,” so Woerner.

ESA Euronews: Holdbázis – egy hosszú út kezdete
– Feltett szándékom egy állandó bázisállomás építése a Holdra – mondja az Európai Űrügynökség vezetője, Jan Woerner. – Ez egy közös bázis lenne a partnereinkkel, amit a világ más országaival közösen építenénk és használnánk. Benne lesznek az amerikaiak, az oroszok, a kínaiak az indiaiak, a japánok és kisebb hozzájárulással más országok is.
A jelenlegi helyzetben a Holdbázis álomnak tűnik – de az Apolló-program során már kiderült, hogy megfelelő költségvetés mellett óriási technológiai ugrások lehetségesek. A tervek szerint ez lenne az új globális űrprojekt a Nemzetközi Űrállomás után.

ESA Euronews: Si torna sulla Luna
Tornare sulla Luna? La prossima tappa dell’esplorazione spaziale, dopo l’esperienza della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale, prevede molto di più. L’Agenzia spaziale europea ha un nuovo obiettivo: costruire una base permanente sulla luna.
I russi furono i primi a lanciare una missione sulla luna mentre gli americani i primi a camminare sulla sua superficie. Oggi la luna continua ad essere al centro di ambiziose ricerche come ci conferma anche il direttore generale dell’Agenzia spaziale europea Jan Wörner. Una base internazionale, una stazione aperta ai diversi Stati membri dell’Agenzia e ai paesi di tutto il mondo.
Un sogno animato dalla stessa passione che ha portato il primo uomo sulla Luna. Certo finora nessuno ha mai realizzato un progetto simile. Dalla missione spaziale Apollo sono stati fatti passi da gigante.

ESA Euronews: Como a ESA pretende construir uma aldeia na Lua
O homem que está à frente da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA) tem um ambicioso objetivo: construir uma base permanente na Lua. É no Centro Europeu de Astronautas em Colónia, na Alemanha, que estão a ser dados os primeiros passos nessa direção.
Em 1959, os russos conseguiram aterrar uma nave não tripulada na Lua; dez anos mais tarde, os americanos passearam na sua superfície. Hoje em dia, o plano é ficar. _”O meu objetivo é construir uma base permanente na Lua. Uma estrutura aberta à participação de diferentes países”_, declara Jan Wörner, diretor geral da ESA. A ideia é criar um projeto global à semelhança da Estação Espacial Internacional.
O Centro Europeu de Astronautas em Colónia organizou um workshop precisamente sobre como erguer uma espécie de pequena aldeia sobre a superfície lunar. A presença de certos metais, minerais e de água gelada pode representar um contributo valioso. Segundo Bernard Foing, diretor do Grupo Internacional de Exploração Lunar, _”a Lua tem imensos recursos. Encontrámos gelo nos polos, encontrámos áreas que estão quase constantemente expostas ao Sol. São zonas que nos podem fornecer recursos para utilizarmos na construção ou na manutenção da vida dos astronautas na base lunar.”_

ESA Euronews: CubeSat, a satellite in a shoe box
Tiny satellites the size of a small cube, jam-packed with the most advanced nanotechnologies: is this the future of Space missions?
To find out, ESA Euronews went to Tallin, Estonia, where students at the Mektory Space Centre are preparing the launch of their first nanosatellite.
Nanosatellites – tiny cubes of 10cm x 10cm x 10cm, full of nanotechnologies — are going to be more and more important in the future of space exploration, from Mars missions, to the surveillance of asteroids, which could potentially be dangerous for our planet.
Also known as ‘CubeSats’ these tiny satellites open up a whole world of possibilities for those who want to explore space.

ESA Euronews: De mi az a nanoműhold?
A nanoműholdak egyre fontosabbak lesznek az űrkutatásban, a Mars megfigyelésétől a Földre veszélyt jelentő aszteroidák felkutatásáig. A bennük rejlő potenciált mindenki igyekszik kiaknázni, a nagy űrügynökségektől a tudományos diákkörökig. Ez a helyzet a Mektory Űrközpontban, az észt főváros, Talinn műszaki egyetemén, ahol a diákok az első nanoműholdjuk Föld körüli pályára állítását készítik elő.
– Azt hittem, soha nem fogok műholdat építeni, hiszen ilyesmit csak a NASA-nál csinálnak. Most meg műholdat építek az egyetemi laborban – hitetlenkedett az Euronewsnak Marta Hang, az űrközpont programasszisztense.
A Mektory nanoműhold-programja egy nemzetközi egyetemi kezdeményezés, amelyben az oktatók és a hallgatók együttműködnek az űrkutatásban érdekelt és más technológiai cégekkel. A cél az, hogy felkészítsék a hallgatókat arra, hogy az űriparban helyezkedjenek el. A csapat jelenleg az első űrküldetését tervezi.
– Egy kockaműholdat fejlesztünk, amely egy egységből áll, és távérzékelési célokat szolgál, vagyis képeket készít majd a Földről – magyarázza a Mektory Űrközpont igazgatója, Mart Vihmand.

ESA Euronews – Rosetta: The Comet Hunter Awakes
The exploits of comet-hunting spacecraft Rosetta are generating intense interest as it speeds towards a dramatic climax this autumn.
The craft will catch up with comet 67p/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, fly alongside, and put a lander on its surface. Throughout this fantastic voyage, Euronews will have special access to the engineers and scientists who are making it happen.
On 20th January Rosetta woke up from two and a half years of hibernation. It was a moment of extreme tension for everyone at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. Strained, nervous faces searched for a signal from a probe in deep space.
After some 45 minutes of anxiety the all-important first signal came through. The scientists burst into energetic applause.

ESA Euronews: Flying Zero-G
If you fly a plane in the right way at the right speed, you can be weightless for a few seconds. By throwing the aircraft into an orbit-like path within Earth’s atmosphere, you can enter the wonderful world of weightlessness.
It is one of the best ways to simulate the environment of space, and a valuable experimental tool for scientists with a special interest in microgravity. If they want to find out how the brain works, study the natural posture of humans in space, or how water boils in a weightless environment, this is the way to do it.

ESA Euronews: Measuring earth’s vital magnetic field
Earth’s magnetosphere is an invisible shield, protecting our planet from harmful solar radiation.
Many living organisms – from bacteria to insects or birds – seem to rely on Earth’s magnetic field to navigate. Man has been doing so for a thousand years since the invention of the compass.
But research shows the magnetic field is weakening and scientists are trying to understand why.
Some believe it signals a pole reversal in progress, not an uncommon phenomenon in the history of our planet.
As ground observatories fail to grasp the whole picture, we are sending magnetometers into orbit to try to measure the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field.
