Summary

This episode of ‘Le Journal de l’Espace’ covers several major space news items. First, it reports the dismissal of Dmitry Rogozin as head of Roscosmos by President Putin, replaced by Yuri Borisov, and discusses the potential for renewed international cooperation, including a seat exchange agreement between NASA and Roscosmos. Second, it presents a Japanese concept for a lunar base with artificial gravity called ‘Lunar Glass’, developed by Kyoto University and Kajima Corporation, featuring a rotating cone structure. Third, it announces NASA’s contract with SpaceX for launching the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on a Falcon Heavy in 2026. Fourth, it highlights China’s Tianwen-1 mission completing a full mapping of Mars, with over 1000 GB of data sent back. Fifth, it explains the James Webb Space Telescope’s spectroscopy capabilities, using WASP-96b as an example, and the detection of water and clouds in its atmosphere. Finally, it updates on Ariane 6’s progress, with its main stages assembled in French Guiana, and the upcoming tests before its inaugural launch.
