🇬🇧 At the shortest, it takes 4 days to reach the Moon from Earth (more in the context of the Artemis missions), and for Mars, we are talking about 6 or 7 months of travel. Before being able to embark on these new exploration missions, it is crucial to be able to gather new knowledge and test equipment in more accessible conditions. For this, a campaign of scientific parabolic flights in lunar and Martian gravity is an ideal training ground. Neil Melville, ESA's parabolic flight coordinator, presents the experiments that flew on board this campaign last April.

🇫🇷 Au plus court, il faut 4 jours pour atteindre la Lune depuis la Terre (plus dans le cadre des missions Artemis) et pour Mars, on parle de 6 ou 7 mois de voyage. Avant de pouvoir se lancer vers ces nouvelles missions d’exploration, il est crucial de pouvoir engranger de nouveaux savoirs et tester du matériel dans des conditions plus accessibles. Pour cela, une campagne de vols paraboliques scientifiques en gravités lunaire et martienne constitue un terrain d’entraînement idéal. Neil Melville, coordinateur des vols paraboliques de l’ESA vous présente les expériences ayant volé à bord cette campagne au mois d’avril dernier.
