Summary

This episode of ‘Le Journal de l’Espace’ covers four space news stories. The main focus is on the ExoMars 2020 mission, which faces a critical parachute problem. The parachutes failed during tests in May and August 2019, and the ESA has sought help from NASA’s JPL. New ground tests have succeeded, but high-altitude tests in February and March 2020 will be decisive. The second story celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first Ariane launch, which gave Europe independence in space access. The third story discusses the Boeing Starliner’s failed docking attempt with the ISS due to a clock synchronization issue, leading to an early landing. Finally, the video shows how astronauts celebrate the holidays on the ISS, including their traditions and decorations.
