Washington (AFP) - Le premier vol spatial avec équipage du vaisseau Starliner de Boeing, déjà maintes fois reporté, s'apprête à décoller le 1er juin sans avoir réparé une fuite d'hélium détectée sur le vaisseau, ont annoncé l'entreprise américaine et la Nasa vendredi. Le lancement de cette mission vers la Station spatiale internationale (ISS), cruciale pour Boeing et attendue depuis des années, a déjà été reporté de nombreuses fois. Le décollage avait été annulé au dernier moment le 6 mai -- alors que les deux astronautes formant l'équipage étaient déjà installés à bord -- à cause d'un problèm...

Washington (AFP) - Boeing is set to launch its first crewed space mission in June without fixing a small helium gas leak on its troubled Starliner spaceship, officials said Friday. The vessel, under development since 2010, has been plagued by technical problems and has yet to fulfill its purpose of ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, allowing Boeing's rival SpaceX to zoom ahead with its Crew Dragon capsule. Starliner was supposed to finally fly astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the orbital outpost on May 6, but the mission was scrubbed hours before lift-off aft...

Washington (AFP) - Starship, the world's most powerful rocket, is set for its next test flight on June 5, SpaceX announced on Friday. The launch window from the company's Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas opens at 7:00 am local time (1200 GMT), pending regulatory approval. It will be the fourth test for the sleek mega rocket, which is vital to NASA's plans for landing astronauts on the Moon later this decade, and to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's hopes of eventually colonizing Mars. Three previous attempts have ended in the Starship's destruction, all part of what the company says is an acceptable cost in...

Washington (AFP) - Russia has launched a likely space weapon and deployed it in the same orbit as a US government satellite, the Pentagon said. "Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that we assess is likely a counter-space weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit," Pentagon spokesman Air Force Major General Pat Ryder told a press briefing late Tuesday. The Russian "counter-space weapon" launched on May 16 was deployed "into the same orbit as a US government satellite," he said. Ryder added that Washington would continue to monitor the situation and...

Russia has launched a counterspace weapon into orbit capable of attacking a nearby U.S. government satellite, Washington officials said earlier this week.

The United States has claimed that Russia launched what is likely a space weapon capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit, US Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder announced on Tuesday. Ryder added that the launch took place on May 16, and the Russian satellite is now in the same orbit as a US government satellite. When asked whether the Russian satellite threatened the US satellite, Ryder said: "Well, it's a space defence weapon in the same orbit as a US government satellite." American UN representative Robert Wood had previously expressed views similar to Ryder's. The Pentagon stated ...

A UN resolution tabled by Russia against an arms race in space failed in the UN Security Council on Monday. The draft resolution received seven votes in favour while seven countries, including the US, voted against it. Switzerland abstained. The measure failed as it did not obtain the nine votes necessary to pass it in the powerful 15-nation council. In view of a US resolution against nuclear weapons in space that failed last month due to Russia's veto, US representative Robert Wood accused Moscow of manipulative tactics.
