As we return to the Moon and prepare to explore deeper into the Solar System, space missions will need more than delayed signals and one-way links.
That’s why we’re working on an Internet for space: a network designed to cope with long distances, moving spacecraft and interrupted connections. Data are stored, carried and forwarded until they reach their destination - reliably.
From laser communications to future navigation systems beyond Earth, this space internet will help missions around the Moon, Mars and beyond stay connected.

Our astronaut Sophie Adenot shared this video on her social media channels with the caption:
[EN] Day 065, orbit 1005 — Sunday morning science with Sophie, episode 4: Water, air bubbles, and centrifuge force.
Important note: onboard the Station, we drink from soft pouches that we fill and refill with recycled water. This plastic bottle is only used for fun science demonstrations.

Remarque importante: à bord de la Station, nous avons chacun une gourde souple que nous remplissons avec de l’eau recyclée. Cette bouteille en plastique est un accessoire utilisé uniquement pour des démonstrations scientifiques ludiques !
