More and more satellites are being sent to space. Most of them move in what is known as low Earth orbit, about 1,000 kilometres from Earth. One of the reasons for this increase is the growth in the uses of satellites, the more traditional ones such as meteorological or military, can now also be used to provide internet to remote places. "The space race is growing and growing," Gisela Süss of the European Space Agency (ESA) told Euronews. According to ESA data, there are some 12,500 satellites in Earth orbit. "Now, for example, we have constellations being launched into space from the United St...

C'est presque l'embouteillage dans l'espace. Les satellites sont de plus en plus nombreux et la plupart d'entre eux se déplacent en orbite basse, c'est-à-dire à environ un millier de kilomètres de la Terre. Mais le besoin de recourir à ces appareils et leur utilisation en constante augmentation demandent de maintenir cette zone propre et durable pour éviter les collisions. Cet enjeu était l'un des thèmes du Forum européen de l'espace qui s'est tenu à Bruxelles. Certaines entreprises ont déjà lancé des projets et adaptent leurs appareils. "Tous nos satellites seront dotés de systèmes de propuls...

A SpaceX Falcon, Heavy rocket, has launched a hurricane-hunting GOES -U weather satellite into orbit, completing a fleet of four at the heart of a €10 billion upgrade to the nation's forecasting infrastructure. The satellite's launch was delayed after forecasters predicted a 70% chance of late afternoon storms. It took off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral at 5:26 pm EDT (11.26 pm ET), roughly 10 minutes late. The GOES-U satellite was propelled by more than five million pounds of thrust from the 27 engines at the base of three strapped-together first-stage boosters. After helping...

Le groupe SpaceX est parvenu à lancer 22 nouveaux satellites Starlink en orbite terrestre basse depuis la station spatiale de Cap Canaveral en Floride. Les satellites ont quitté la Terre à bord de la fusée Falcon 9 réutilisable de SpaceX. Starlink est un gigantesque système de satellites ayant pour but de fournir une connexion internet à haut débit jusque dans les régions les plus isolées de la Terre. Les satellites sont lancés en orbite par lots, chaque lot contenant entre 15 et 56 satellites. Début 2024, il y avait déjà près de 6 000 de ces satellites en orbite. À terme, l'entreprise d'Elon ...

Elon Musk travelled to Indonesia’s resort island of Bali on Sunday to launch Starlink's satellite internet service in the world’s largest archipelago nation. Wearing a green Batik shirt, Musk was greeted with a garland of flower petals at a community health clinic in Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali, where he launched the Starlink service alongside Indonesian ministers. Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 17,000 islands sprawled across three time zones with a population of more than 270 million, has been trying for years to secure deals with Musk's Tesla on battery investment and for Musk...

Russia on Thursday successfully test-launched a new heavy-lift rocket from its Far Eastern space complex, a lift-off that comes after two aborted attempts earlier this week. The first attempt to launch the Angara-A5 rocket from the Vostochny spaceport on Tuesday was cancelled about two minutes before the scheduled liftoff due to a failure of the pressurization system of the oxidizer tank in the central block of the rocket. The second attempted launch on Wednesday was also aborted by the automatic safety system, which registered a flaw in the engine start control mechanism, said Yuri Borisov, h...

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea said Thursday it would deploy new weapons and stronger armed forces to the border with the South, as Seoul's spy agency said Pyongyang had received Russian help to successfully put a military spy satellite into orbit. Tuesday's launch of the "Malligyong-1" was Pyongyang's third attempt at securing a military eye in the sky after two failures in May and August. North Korean state media claimed within hours of the launch that leader Kim Jong Un was already reviewing images of US military bases in Guam. Seoul's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers the launch had...

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea said Thursday it was suspending a five-year-old accord reached with South Korea to reduce military tensions -- the latest retaliatory fallout over Pyongyang's spy satellite launch. The angry statement from the nuclear-armed North's defence ministry came after state media claimed leader Kim Jong Un was already reviewing images of US military bases in Guam sent by Pyongyang's new eye in the sky. With the United States leading allies in slamming Tuesday's satellite launch as a "brazen violation" of UN sanctions, the South moved Wednesday to partially suspend the 2018 dea...
