In English class with the teacher Mrs. Tremblay, we did a unit about space exploration. We had to search on the internet to find the most recent space missions to present them in this edition.
Here are the students articles:
Juno
In this edition, I’m going to talk about an extraordinary mission called Juno!
It’s the first spacecraft to enter the dense clouds of Jupiter. Before learning information about the spacecraft, let’s learn more about Jupiter:
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. It is the biggest in the Solar System. We all know it, because of its legendary rings made of dust and its 80 moons. There are many constellations around us. Jupiter is part of the Taurus’s constellation. For example, the planet Gliese 581 c that looks like Earth and is in Libra’s constellation. (We learned that in English class.)
The goal of this mission was to go near and reach the Jovian magnetosphere. This served to measure the gravitational/magnetic field of Jupiter. Also, the temperature and cloud motion. Because of this expedition, we learned that there is about 0,25% water in the atmosphere!
It was launched on August 5, 2011. The journey to Jupiter is about 5 years. To help the spacecraft towards the Jovian system, we used Earth gravity. The boost was at a speed of more than 3.9 kilometers per second! In total during that time, Juno traveled 3 billion kilometers in space!
Finally, the spacecraft arrived on July 4, 2016!
Currently Juno is still orbiting around Jupiter. Here’s the time of its orbit:
Jpl.nasa.gov/missions/juno/
---------------------------------------------------------------
I chose this mission, because I find it interesting to learn more about our galaxy, especially the planets around us (like Jupiter). Not everyone wonders why and how we know so much about other planets. That's why I wanted to talk about this mission to show how we learned about Jupiter and its gravity. It’s important for humanity because it helps us to understand our solar system and to develop sciences and astronomy. Also, to know if we could possibly have a chance to live on it!
Unfortunately, the planet is practically made up of gas. So if you want to go on it, you would fall to Jupiter’s core (and die-..).
Thank you for reading this article! I hope you learned more about Jupiter!

NEW ARTEMIS SPACE MISSION
In the past, there was the mission Artemis 1. Soon, there will be the 2 and 3. For this edition, I will introduce you to the space mission Artemis 3. The project of the mission Artemis 3 is to learn more about the moon. The mission Artemis 3 will last roughly 30 days. It will begin, in September 2026.The participants of this project are four astronauts, including a woman of color and another woman. They will go to the moon to collect samples and to analyze the samples. The goal of this project is to learn more about the moon for possibly encourage other astronauts to return to the moon. They will collect the samples at the lunar South Pole. To be able to start the missions with the four astronauts.They will use and need a rocket Starship HLS made by SpaceX,they will wear special suits from the Axiom space. I think that maybe we could live on the moon because I saw in a blog that there are perhaps planets on which we could live and well the moon is one of them maybe thanks to these samples we can determine if we can live on the moon. I chose this mission,because there will be a woman and woman of color who are going to walk on the moon. This is important for humanity, because later we could live on the moon and maybe live on other planets.

Artemis III: all you need to know
In 1969, in NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, we went to the moon and stepped on it. After 55 years, we are going back to the satellite. Here is the information you need to know about Artemis III, the next lunar exploration mission. It will take a group of four astronauts to the lunar South pole, the crew will consist of Jeremy Hansen (mission Specialist), Victor Glover (pilot), Reid Wiseman (Commander) and Christina Hammock Koch (mission specialist), and their goal is to explore it, take pictures of it and collect samples for research.
Now you may be asking yourselves, why are we going to the moon again? We are going back to the moon to try and discover new things we have most definitely never seen before, to advance technologically and to expand our knowledge about the night sky’s biggest attraction. It is expected to launch in mid-late 2026. NASA is funding the mission.
I chose this one mission for two reasons: the name and how perfectly timed this showed up on my computer screen. Artemis is the name of a Greek mythology character, and I happen to like many things related to Greek mythology, so this piqued my interest. It also timed perfectly when I thought we weren’t going to touch the Moon anymore and head for Mars, but I was proven wrong by the biggest space organization in the world.
To wrap up with the topic, I want to say what I think about this mission: I think the biggest space agencies like the NASA and SpaceX are trying to leave the planet and find or terraform another one, because Earth is being destroyed by us. But I do not think escaping is the best idea. Instead of preserving resources or making sustainable sources for fuel and other things, they want to escape, they want to find comfort in another planet! Do I think us as humans, are born to conquer the stars? ABSOLUTELY! But Earth is the closest and ONLY planet nearby for us to live.

Juno on Jupiter
I read in a blog during an English class that 8 years ago, a team of scientists sent an incredible spacecraft named Juno to Jupiter. The mission took place in an orbit around Jupiter. The spacecraft took 5 years, it left on August 5 of 2011 and has arrived on July 4 of, 2016, on Jupiter while being in its orbit, because it’s impossible to walk directly on the planet Jupiter. The goal of this mission was to understand the origin and the evolution of Jupiter’s atmosphere. It is important for the future of humanity to know if the planet formation theory was correct, or if we need another exact theory about the planet formation. Also, I read in a blog that some people found water on Mars. After that, the scientists wanted to know if there is some water on Jupiter’s atmosphere too, and how much water can be found. When Juno went near Jupiter’s atmosphere, it took approximately 28 pictures to find clues about how Jupiter formed and how it evolved. I chose this amazing mission because it was the first probe to observe the planet’s dense cloud, to answer some questions about the gas giant and to know the process and the conditions that governed our solar system during its formation.

Lunar Trailblazer 2025
In early 2025, the NASA and the labs: JPL and Caltech will explore the moon’s different water forms. It is called the Lunar Trailblazer. They will orbit the moon 60 miles above it (100 kilometres) to map the distribution of different water forms present on the moon. It's not a human astronaut who will go to the moon, they will use SpaceX’s rocket 9 to deliver their instrument on it. The goals of this space mission are to understand the moon’s water cycle, inform the future human missions that there are different water forms on the moon and to make a 3D map of the moon’s water cycle. This mission is important for humanity because, the ice that is on the moon could be turned into liquid water so we could use it to drink or to grow plants. And to know if the moon could sustain human life, oxygen and water must be available. The first man who went on the moon was Neil Amstrong, but he's not the one who found water on it, the founder of water on the moon is the NASA’S Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). I chose this space mission because I find it interesting that there are different water forms on the moon.

Mission MMX
Today, I will present a very interesting mission of the Nasa. So, the MMX mission will travel to Mars and study the two moons of the red planet, Phobos and Deimos. The country who works on this mission is Japan and the company is Jaxa organisation. The launching is for 2026, the landing date for mars is for 2027 and the return to the earth is 2031. Jaxa will use a robotic space probe to travel the red planet. The goal of Jaxa organisation is to take beautiful photos and sample of Phobos and Deimos and bring them back to earth. Also, I chose this mission because it is to learn about mars and possibly go to mars in the future. For me, Mission MMX is also important for the future of humanity because it will be possible to go to mars in the future with this mission or we could even find extraterrestrial life. Next, I read in a blog that presence of water on mars was confirmed a long time ago and also it has biological potential. To finish, I am interested and excited about the mars exploration and possibly finding life in other planet or living on mars.

DAVINCI mission
Hi! Today in Signé SJB, I will present you the DAVINCI mission. Let's go! The NASA’s DAVINCI will study the planet Venus with the robot DAVINCI. The name was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci, because they took the letters DAVINCI. The mission will take place in June 2029, the robot will go to the planet Venus for exploration. DAVINCI will be used for telecommunication because humans will not actually go on Venus. They will also use instruments to study Venusian clouds. The goals of the mission is to help answer questions about this planet, wet and habitable like Earth planet and understand the origin of the Venus’s atmosphere. For example, what is the difference between the planet Earth and Venus. I chose this mission because I like to see robot missions, I like to see other planet and I want to prove that extraterestrial life exists. I would also like to know about future missions. It is important for humanity because we want to know the evolution of old planets. In English class, I read a text about space and the presence of life on other planets. I know that many people go on other planet. Thank you to read my mission.

Parker Solar Probe
The spacecraft was launched in august 12 2018 and is currently still in space. This mission is making observations of the Sun’s outer corona. It is studying the Sun’s atmosphere by being in it. It’s the first artificial object to be super close to the Sun. Parker Solar Probe is Nasa’s first spacecraft to be named after a living person. This person is Dr. Eugene Parker. He is the founder of Parker Solar Probe. The goal of this mission is to study the formation of the solar wind and understand the heating of the solar corona. I chose to write about this mission because it is the first time that a spacecraft managed to get so close to the Sun without melting. This mission is important for our future because the Sun is necessary for the Earth and for the humans. It can further develop our understanding of the Sun. In class we read a blog of the opinions of different people and Laura mentioned that we should try to save our planet instead of escaping into space programs. We can still save our planet with the help of space programs. This mission for example, this can help our Earth in the future. We could be able to get accurate weather forecasts weeks or months or even decades ahead of schedule. It can help us prevent any major space weather events that could impact life on Earth.

Robot on Mars
Hello, today I am going to talk about Perseverance in this new edition of: Our mini newspaper by Saint-Jean-Baptiste. So, Let's start
Perseverance, or Percy, Is a robot
developed by the NASA. Its mission is to get rock cores on mars and discover Mars materials. Perseverance was sent to Mars on July 13, 2020, aboard a launch vehicle named Alliance Atlas V. Perseverance went on Mars precisely on Jezero Crater. The goals of perseverance expedition are to know its past conditions, its past life form, explore Jezero Crater.
It is important for humanity because they want to explore Mars in depth and see if there is extraterrestrial life because scientists think that it hosted other life forms.
I chose this space mission because I think that it is really interesting to explore another planet, and we can observe new things that we do not see, and we do not have on earth. In my opinion I also agree with scientists because it is possible to find another life form on other planets and they could send other robots on other planets. It is possible that we will find other planets from other galaxies so now you know you cannot say that you did not knew who is perseverance and what are its missions.

A guy jumps from space to Earth
Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian jump from space to earth and he landed perfectly with a parachute.
In 2012, the Redbull team want to break the world record of the highest jump and the fastest free fall. They took a big helium balloon and a capsule. Felix went in the capsule with a special space suit and a parachute. They sent Felix 38,969 meters from earth. Finally, they break the worlds records so this mission successfully.
I choose this space mission because I thought that it was impossible to fall this fast without a spaceship or something like this and I thought that it was impossible to go in the space with an helium balloon. I also like this space mission because it’s made by Redbull, a drink company who break a lot of world records.
The most important mission for the future ?
This mission prove that it’s possible to go in space without a spaceship so it proves that we can go in space with a simple cannon like this and an aerodynamic suit.
With this discovery, it will cost $22.99 to go to another planet because you don’t have to pay for the gas of a spaceship.

Important Moon mission
Hello fellow space fanatics. Today I am going to talk about an important mission coming up, Artemis II. The astronauts Reid Wiseman, the commander of the mission, Victor Glover the pilot and the two mission specialists, Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch, will go on this mission. The launch of this mission is in September 2025 and the flight will be ten days long. With the help of the spaceship Orion they will confirm that the space craft systems are functioning well enough. I also read on an article that soon there will be another mission on the moon to try and build habitations on the cold surface, well Artemis II will help to collect data about the conditions and information needed. This mission is important to us because we need to study the capacity of humans to explore space and open the path to more helpful and interesting missions on the moon for the NASA and others. OfCourse you may be interested in why I chose this mission and why it is a lot more important than you all think it is. I talked about Christina Koch at the beginning, but did I mention that she would be the first woman to go on the moon? This is big news and evolution for the space world! Thank you for reading this and see you soon on Signé sjb!

Artemis III
In this edition, I’m going to talk about the mission Artemis III. Neil Armstrong went on the moon on July 20 1969 and now we want to go back. The people who are going to do this mission are Nasa’s astronauts, including the first woman and the first person of color. The mission is to go on the moon. It's going to happen in space, on the south pole of the moon. They will do it in September 2026, it will last 30 days and it set to be the first human moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972. The space shuttle with which they are going to go is the Orion spacecraft. The goal of this mission is to bring man back to the moon. I chose this mission because the Nasa and its partners will land the first woman on the surface of the moon with Artemis. Also, because yes, for example Neil Armstrong has already been to the moon but this is the first woman to go there and not a man. This mission is important for humanity because they want to add new capabilities with the human landing system and advance spacesuits to send humans further in the space to explore and develop technology. The moon helps to have more information on that.

Perseverance, a revolutionary mission
Perseverance rover is a robot controlled by Farah Alibay. Born in Québec (Canada) in Montréal, she grew up in Saint-Charles-Borromé and moved with her family to Manchester (England) for high school. In 2019, Alibay joined the mars 2020 mobility team, her duty was to ensure that the rover did not get lost on Mars. The Perseverance mission which is currently going on mars. Perseverance rover was launched on July 30, 2020, at 11h50 and the confirmation that the rover successfully landed on mars was received on February 18,2021 at 8h55 Pm. NASA robot landed in Jezero crater. As of October 2024, the rover has driven over 30 kilometers and have collected 24 samples. To go to mars, Perseverance took off aboard a rocket. It also used the same entry and landing strategy as Curiosity. Both rovers hit the mars atmosphere at tremendous speeds, deployed a supersonic parachute after friction slowed them down enough, and were finally lowered gently to the red dirt on cables by a rocketpowered sky crane. The goal of this mission is seeking signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock for possible Earth return. With pollution and natural disasters caused by global warming, in many years, the earth could no longer be habitable, so this mission is very important for humanity, to perhaps go to mars in the future and live there. Now, you know everything about this incredible mission, but what do you know about the planet that Perseverance rover explores? I read in a blog, that Mars has water, and the planet has a biological potential. This is why I think it is very possible for human to go live on mars. Finally, I have chosen to tell you about this mission because the robot is controlled by a woman, and it is very rare for women to become astronaut and even more to control a robot with such an important mission.

NASA robot landed in Jezero crater. As of October 2024, the rover has driven over 30 kilometers and have collected 24 samples. To go to mars, Perseverance took off aboard a rocket. It also used the same entry and landing strategy as Curiosity. Both rovers hit the mars atmosphere at tremendous speeds, deployed a supersonic parachute after friction slowed them down enough, and were finally lowered gently to the red dirt on cables by a rocketpowered sky crane. The goal of this mission is seeking signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock for possible Earth return. With pollution and natural disasters caused by global warming, in many years, the earth could no longer be habitable, so this mission is very important for humanity, to perhaps go to mars in the future and live there. Now, you know everything about this incredible mission, but what do you know about the planet that Perseverance rover explores? I read in a blog, that Mars has water, and the planet has a biological potential. This is why I think it is very possible for human to go live on mars. Finally, I have chosen to tell you about this mission because the robot is controlled by a woman, and it is very rare for women to become astronaut and even more to control a robot with such an important mission.

The Catch of the Super Heavy Booster
On October 13, 2024, SpaceX achieved a groundbreaking milestone in Brownsville, Texas. The company successfully caught the Super Heavy booster from its Starship rocket mid-air using the launch tower’s mechanical arms, nicknamed “Mechazilla.” This achievement marks a major step in advancing space technology. The Super Heavy booster, weighing over 200 tons, is a critical part of the Starship system. Each Starship costs about $90 million to build and between $20–28 million to launch into space. The purpose of this mission was to make the booster reusable for future launches. Reusability is important because it drastically reduces costs, lowers pollution, and speeds up production. Instead of building a new booster for every mission, SpaceX can now inspect and repair the existing ones, making space exploration more sustainable and efficient. I chose this mission because it’s incredible that they managed to catch such a massive object in the air. This is not just about saving money; it’s also about reducing the environmental impact of rocket launches. Even though there’s still pollution, it’s inspiring to see efforts to make space travel more eco-friendly. This technology could also make space tourism more affordable in the future. By reusing boosters, SpaceX could lower ticket prices and enable more people to experience space. Eventually, this approach might even help humanity colonize Mars, turning ideas that once seemed like science fiction into reality.

Female-Spacewalk
Hi everyone, I am going to present you a Space mission. My space mission is All-female spacewalk. Christina H. Koch and Jessica U. Meir were the first women to get out of the rocket and repair a failed power controller. It was October 18, 2019, when they accomplished this mission. Christina and Jessica went in a rocket. They were repairing a power controller outside International Space Station. The girl's goal was to restore a failed power controller that regulates battery charging to power the International Space Station. This story was like a story that I read in English Class. It was a team of astronaut who repaired Hubble Space Telescope and so I think my space mission is like this one because the girls rehabilitated something for the ISS too. I think this mission is important for humanity because this can show that women are able to repair a failed power controller or things like that. So, people could stop saying woman can’t to this woman can’t do that. Why did I choose this one? I chose this space mission because I think that women should believe in their dreams and not give up because someone tells them they wouldn’t be able to. Thank you I Hope you learned something.

Upcoming mission for 2028
In English class, we talked and read about space missions and today I will be talking about a mission called the Dragonfly (Titan space probe). This mission is about a robotic rotorcraft that will look like a dragonfly that will visit Saturn’s moon (Titan). The person who made this robot was is Elizabeth Turtle, a woman who studied planetary science at Johns Hopkins University. The idea was proposed in April 2017 and was confirmed on April 16 2024. It was delayed due to Covid-19. The launch date is expected in July 2028. It’s supposed to take six years for the robotic Dragonfly to reach Saturn’s moon, so it will probably land in 2034. The Dragonfly will go to Titan by trajectory. A trajectory is the path an object follows through space. The cost of this mission in total will be 3.35 billion dollars. The goal of this mission is to explore the chemistry and the place of habitation of this planet to see if it’s possible to have humans living on it. It’s important for humanity to see if it’s possible to live elsewhere in space like example a booklet I've seen in English class about scientist researching about a planet called Gliese c to see if that planet could have human habitation. I chose the Dragonfly mission because out of all the missions I saw in my research it was the one I was the most curious about.

Artemis II
In 1969, man finally touched the surface of the moon. The mission was called Appollo 11. When Neil Amstrong stepped on the moon, he said “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. You’re probably wondering why I'm talking about all of that. Well right now there's a new mission going on called “Artemis II”. Artemis II is a space mission that has for goal to bring humans on the moon again. It’s an interesting subject to me because it could really change our perception of what space is and that it's not just a random hole with a bunch of light points called stars (yes even in 2024, people are still uncultured). It could really change the future of humanity because if we find proteins or any form of life on the moon, it could mean that there might be a form of life or an earth-like planet somewhere else in the universe. The spaceship for the mission will be landed in September 2025. There will be 4 astronauts in this spaceship. Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover and Gregory Reid Wiseman. Again, it will be one small step for man but a huge step for humanity and I believe it can make things move and help man to learn more about space. It's like walking. You need to learn it before doing it. We need to learn more about space by exploring it before going into other planets and maybe move there. Even if it's only the moon, its already a good start and I'm sure it’ll help our progress.

Artemis 2
In this edition of the newspaper Signé SJB, I present you the space mission Artemis II. In April 2023, astronauts were selected to do this mission. Reid Wiseman, Victor Clover, Jeremy Hansen and Christina Hammeck Koch are the astronauts for this mission. Jeremy Hansen is the only Canadian of the crew. The others are American. Jeremy is the mission specialist. Reid Wiseman is the commander. The pilot is Victor Glover. Christina is the flight engineer. The Artemis program wants to return on moon. The part 2 is the first crewed test flight of the program. They will go around the moon. Unfortunately, they won’t go earlier than September 2025. The astronauts be going traveling around the moon with a space shuttle. Called Orion. Also, Orion did the mission Artemis I and will do Artemis III. Its source of energy is solar panels. The goal is to do test for the future exploration of Mars. I chose this mission because it’s the biggest active mission. This mission is important because it could help us to go on Mars one day. Fun fact, Artemis is called like this because in the mythology, Artemis is the twin of Apolon and she is the moon godess.

Mission Artemis 2
In this new edition of “signé SJB” I’m going to talk about Artemis 2. Very soon, four astronauts will venture around the moon. Reid Wiseman (the commander) was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2009, Victor Glover (the pilot) was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2013, Christina Koch (mission specialist) served as flight engineer on the International Space Station (ISS), and Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist) is the only Canadian of this mission. Their goal is to confirm if the spacecraft system its doing is job as intended with crew on board .The takeoff take place in Florida but will not land on the moon because it will fly over it for 10 days. The mission will not be earlier than September 2025 because they have not yet finished the necessary adjustments for takeoff. They will go 8,889 km beyond the Moon with NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. It will be the first mission to carry humans to the moon since 1969, when the first human walked to the moon. This mission is important for the future because it will prove that Orion's life support systems are ready to protect our astronauts on longer duration missions and allow the crew to practice essential activities for the success of Artemis III. I totally support this space mission because we need another planet to live on if the earth is in too bad shape.

ARTEMIS II MISSION
For this new edition of the school newspaper, I will present you the ARTEMIS II NASA space mission. The Artemis II is a new lunar space exploration program that wants to test human deep space exploration capabilities by going on the SLS ROCKET and the ORION spacecraft with astronauts in the spaceship for the first time. Eventually the Artemis mission is going from Earth to the Moon. With the Artemis mission we will explore the moon for scientific discovery, it will help technology advancement, and we will learn how to live and work on another planet to prepare Mars exploration. It’s important to me because on the Artemis crew there will be the first person of color who will go on the moon and his name is Victor J. Glover. The astronauts who will be going on the moon are the commander Reid wiseman the pilot Victor J. Glover, the mission specialist Christina Koch and the mission specialist Jeremy Hansen. The Artemis mission will be in September 2025. The goal of the Artemis mission is to ensure that systems are working while the spacecraft is close to the earth. The Artemis crew will go on the moon in the first Orion mpcv spacecraft for a maximum of 21 days using the space launch system. The Artemis II mission is a preparation for a mars mission because we found water on mars so that could be evidence there could be life forms on mars so with the Artemis mission, we will prepare to explore the moon and to verify if humans can live on mars and if on mars there is dioxygen for human life. It’s important to know that the Artemis II mission will be directed by the NASA.

EUROPA CLIPPER
For this edition of the school newspaper, I decided to talk about the Europa Clipper, the first NASA spacecraft dedicated to studying an ocean world beyond Earth. Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and directed in Washington D.C. The spacecraft launched on October 14, 2024, and will reach Europa in April 2030. I forgot to mention that Europa is Jupiter's fourth largest of its 95 moons. Scientists are sending a spacecraft to Jupiter because their goal is to figure out whether there are places below the surface of Europa that could support Iife. They are going to do that by discovering whether there's liquid water within and beneath the shell. Researchers will estimate the size, saltiness, and other qualities of Europa’s Ocean. This mission is important for the future of humanity because it will help scientists better understand the biological potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet. I read in a text in English class that there could be a planet like Earth just 20.5 light years away. The planet is Gliese 581c, The temperature on this planet would go from 0 ° to 40 °c. Scientists think that if there is indeed water, based on those temperatures, the water would be liquid. There could be lakes, rivers, and oceans on this planet. We might find it far, but the chances of a planet being able to support life are slim. So, if Europa ends up being able to support life it would be an amazing discovery. Especially for the fact that it is in our solar system. I support this mission because if we find life underneath its shell it will revolutionize science and be a big step into the discovery of other earthlike planets. I chose this mission because, while reading it, I learned a lot of information about Jupiter and its moons. I hope this text helped you understand why scientists are sending a spacecraft to Jupiter.

Mars Express
The mars express is a space exploration created by the European agency. Jérémie Perin is the person who made the space mission. This Space exploration was on Mars. Mars Express launched from the Baikonur launch pad in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz-Fregat launcher on June 2nd of 2003. Nasa had selected a crew of four astronaut candidats for the next Nasa mission Mars. The next goal of Mars express mission is to study the Martian atmosphere and climate, the planet’s structure, its mineralogy and its geology, and to search for traces of water. It is important, because the researchers want to learn more facts about space with the help of NASA as a tool to accomplish their research. It’s interesting to me, because I've been wondering why was there water a long time ago on the planet Mars? So, i wanted to know more facts about this planet to know if there could still be life on it. Mars express is special, because, at the time of its arrival, it was performing the most detailed and complete exploration of mars ever. I support this mission, because it allows us to know more facts about this planet that we never knew a lot of things about and now we're getting more information about nowadays. Mars express had two parts. A lander planned to perform exobiology and geochemistry research.

Perseverance
For this edition of the school newspaper, I chose to talk about a mission in space. The mission that I’m talking about is Perseverance, the one about a robot that was sent on Mars. This robot was controlled by Farah Alibay, an engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The robot landed in Jezero Crater on the 18th of February 2021 and stayed until the 4 th of November 2024, which was the end of the mission. The goal of this mission was to study the site very carefully to see its past conditions and past life with the help of Perseverance. Perseverance was aboard Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle to get sent to Mars. I think it is important for the future of humanity because maybe we could see if we could build a new life on Mars for humans. In English class, I read in a blog that a girl called Emily said that we should continue to go in space because scientists have found proteins needed for life on meteors and I agree with her, I think that if there are proteins needed for life on meteors, there is probably a planet that has the proteins needed too. Finally, I chose this mission because I was surprised to know that Farah Alibay is a girl from Montreal, and she was controlling Perseverance for this mission.

Space Mission 59
Our English teacher asked us to present 9 missions in space we found interesting. So, mine is Exploration 59 in 2019. David Saint-Jaques, Anne McClain, Oleg Kononenko, Christina Koch, Nick Hague and Alexey Ovchinnikov participated to the mission. There are all flight engineers except Oleg Kononenko, who is commandant. Expedition 59 are 9 travels to the International space Station which lasted 3 months and 9 days. They did some experiments there, like testing free-flying robots inside the station. The mission began on March 14, 2019, at 01:01 and it ended on October 3, 2019, at 23:25 and they went into space with the Soyuz MS-12 space shuttle. They made this expedition because they wanted to use tissue chips to study changes in the human body caused by microgravity. They also made many spacewalks to set up external life. Also, a lot of people think that it (life) extraterrestrials exists and me too because our galaxy is very big and the possibilities that there is life are endless. So, I think that it's interesting for me because they can find clues that show that maybe there is a chance that there is alien life. This discovery could change humanity because maybe the extraterrestrials could kill us because we don't know if they are dangerous or not. But also, that would mean that we are not the only ones in our galaxy. It’s kind of scary for me.

Space Mission CYGNSS
For this edition of the school newspaper, I decided to write about the space mission CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System). CYGNSS is composed of eight satellites that were sent in space on December 15, 2016. Their goal was to study the wind speed of tropical cyclones so we could improve our storm forecasting system. I read in a blog that they are doing approximately the same thing on new planets to know their atmosphere, gravity and to find signature of life so we can know if we can live on other planets than Earth. The eight satellites were sent at 524Km above the Earth. The mission was led by the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering in the University of Michigan's College of Engineering. They sent eight satellites into space to study the relationship between ocean surface, surface wind speed and heat transfer so we can predict cyclones or other natural disasters before it hits us. It could save lives! The satellites were sent to space with a single air-launched rocket named Pegasus XL F43. I personally support this mission because it warns people about cyclones so it can save lives and it is important for me that people don't suffer. In 2022, one of the satellites (FM06) abruptly ceased operations. This was my text for this edition of the school newspaper about a space mission (CYGNSS).

In 2022, one of the satellites (FM06) abruptly ceased operations. This was my text for this edition of the school newspaper about a space mission (CYGNSS).

The First Canadian Woman to Go to Space
The first Canadian woman to go to space was Roberta Bondar. Shes was the second child of Edward and Mildred Bondar. She was born on December 4, 1945, at Sault Saint Marie. Roberta bondar has two children and she works as a researcher of science. She was also a neurologist and a teacher. January 22, 1992, Roberta was the first Canadian woman to go in space for the mission STS-42, a basic scientific researcher of materials and life. Shes went on a shuttle with seven crew members of NASA mission STS-42. The mission was planned for ten days, but due to the reparation in the shuttle the mission change for seven days. On the sixth day after launchiry there was enough fuel remaining to extend the mission to eight days. The goal of the mission was to learn more about discovering ways to extend space travel in the future. She did with the other astronauts more than 40 experiments in the space lab. It's important to me because there is not a lot of women who work in space. she did scientific experiment and study the effect of microgravity on humans. It's important for the continuation of special work in the future.
