Approximatively 2 weeks ago, the students of secondary 2 LCC wrote a text for the school newspaper as part of their assignments for English class. They had to talk about a specific space mission that they had chosen.
They had to search for information about their mission such as the necessary equipment, the people involved, and the importance of this mission for the future.
They had to search for information about their mission such as the necessary equipment, the people involved, and the importance of this mission for the future.
Here are some of them:
The Robot on The Red Planet
In English class, we talked for a longtime about space. Today, my English teacher let us write an article about a space mission. So, I wanted to talk about the Perseverance Rover sent to Mars. I chose this mission, because when we visited the Cosmodome, there was a test rover from this mission, and I was really interested in it. Also, they presented us some information about this mission, like the people working on it, when the mission started, etc...
The Perseverance Rover is a mission by the NASA. This mission is about an advanced robot sent on Mars. In this task, multiple engineers, scientists, expert samplings, landing experts, including universities, are working on it, since years ago. But some of them have key roles. For example, Katie Stack Morgan is an assistant scientific from USA. Allen Chen is an American who leads the landing team. Diana Trujillo works on the robot’s arms, and she is from Colombia. From Canada, we have Mariek Schmidt, who uses the “PIXL” and “SHERLOC, they are instruments to study rocks and dust composition. Also, Chris Herd, who helps to select pieces from Mars, especifically the igneous rocks. And Farah Alibay, from Quebec, who pilots one of the robot controllers. This project has been planned since 2012, but the launching wasn’t until 8 years later, so on July 30th, in 2020. The robot finally landed on Mars, on February 18th, 2021. The mission still active, and they predict that the mission will be finished in 2031. The launching was in Cape Canaveral, in Florida, and it landed on the Jezero Crater, on Mars. This rover was inspired by the Curiosity rover (an ancient mission), but with better mechanism, more sophisticated, and with advanced tools. The goals in this mission are to try to find life, collect samples of rocks, explore the planet to understand the climate, surface, etc. And to test some technologies to send humans for future missions on Mars.
In my opinion, this mission is really important for the future because it is one of the “debut” steps to our future. Because with these kinds of mission, we can test technologies for future missions, and like we did on the moon, we could send animals, humans, etc. Since we are literally destroying our habitat, and very soon we will need a new place to live, Mars could be an option.

Akatsuki
We all know famous space missions like Apollo 11 or the Challenger that had a terrible ending. But this mission from Japan which leads to a trip to Venus will make you want to learn more about the planet or even space. I wanted to write an article about this mission because Venus is very intriguing and full of secrets. That’s why when I found this mission, it really pushed me to write about it.
Akatsuki, which means “dawn” in Japanese, is a JAXA mission to study the weather patterns on Venus, to confirm that there is trace and presence of lightning in thick cloud and to search for signs of active volcanic acting. The launch site of the spacecraft they used is at Tanegashima Space Center, in the little island of Tanegashima in Japan. The name of the vehicle is H-2A and his mass is at 320 kilograms. The Space craft was launched on May 20th,2010. On December 6th,2010 it was their first attempt to try to insert the orbit of Venus, but it failed. On the second try, on December 7th,2015, the spacecraft insertion was a success. Then in the late April 2024, JAXA lost contact with the spacecraft, that is why they officially ended the mission on September 18th, 2025.
The Akatsuki mission is important for the future because knowing the weather and natural conditions that are on Venus would be useful for possible next expedition to Venus and to learn more about the planet eventually. Thank you for reading and have a good day.

The tragedy of Challenger
In English class, we’ve been talking about space for a few months. Now, for the school newspaper, I’ll tell you about the Challenger space mission. It’s known for its tragedy; each of its astronauts passed away as soon as it blew up. I chose to write about it because I find it interesting. I think it really showed people that space missions are just as dangerous as they’re exciting.
The Challenger was a mission organized to bring two satellites along with its crew. One of them would be the second tracking and data satellite in space, while the other would be sent to observe Halley’s comet when it was closest to the sun. Those were the main reasons for this trip to space, but one of the astronauts also had a special explanation for her presence on the mission.
Christa McAuliffe was chosen for the Teacher In Space program. Her job would be to host two lessons for her students over on Earth while she was in space, and then to tour the country to teach people about her experience. As for the other astronauts, there were many mission specialists; Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, and Ronald McNair. Francis Dick Scobee, the commander, Micheal Smith, the pilot, and Gregory Jarvis, the aircraft Engineer, were part of the trip too.
The spaceship was launched from the Kennedy space center in Florida on January 28, 1986, at 11:38 am. 73 seconds after it launched, Challenger blew up and fell into the sea. All the astronauts died on the spot; it was almost completely destroyed. Turns out there was a mistake in one of the rocket motors, something wasn’t set right, and gas was able to leak through it.
While this was an incredibly sad moment, it’s important to mention that it helped the future engineers and people who work on spaceships and shuttles to be extra careful about every detail. That kind of thing needs to be very precise, and any mistake could cause another tragedy like this one. It might’ve happened 40 years ago, but that doesn’t mean we should forget about it.

Apollo 11, The first Human to Walk on The Moon
It's been at least two months since my English teacher is talking and teaching us about space. Since we know a lot more about space than we used to, she wanted us to write a text about one mission that we think was interesting, so I chose Apollo 11. I chose this mission because it's the first mission where a human put a foot on the moon and I wanted to know more about this mission.
July 21st, 1969, was when it all happened, the first human to walk on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first to a foot on the moon followed by Edwin Aldrin then, Michael Collins. All of them were in the spaceship called Apollo 11. On the 20th of July they launched the three astronauts in space. Their goal with this mission was to fulfill President John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s goal, land a human on the moon and return him safely to Earth. Another reason was because they wanted to win the space race. The space race was a competition between the USA and the Soviet; it was invented to prove their technological and intellectual superiority by becoming the first nation to put a human into space. The apollo 11 was sent to the moon using a big Saturn V rocket in Florida.
Why was this mission important for the future? With today technology, it does not seem very important for us, but back then, they didn't have every answer that they wanted or needed, so this mission was to help answering all the question that everyone had. It was important too, because it's funded some construction of the Johnson space center and Kennedy space center.

Exploring The Cosmos: James Webb
In English class we have to write a newspaper article about a space mission so I will talk about the space mission: James Webb Space Telescope because it is very interesting and special to me.
Since the launch at Christmas 2021 at 7h20 a.m. in the French Guiana, the space telescope James Webb (JWST) has seriously changed our vision about the universe. Orbiting around the sun at approximatively 1,5 million kilometers away from Earth, this $10 billion engineering marvel acts as a time machine. James Webb Telescope is one of the best space telescope ever launched by humanity. It got its name after the man who served as the second administrator (James E. Webb) from 1961 to1968
What sets this telescope apart from its predecessor, Hubble, is its infrared vision. By detecting heat signature rather than just visible light, its massive gold-coated mirrors can pierce through thick clouds of space dust. This capacity has revealed where stars are created and galaxies that have been existing for billions of years.
The project of James Webb was started in 1994, and the construction started in 2007. With the help of the best engineers of NASA, Canadian space agency (CSA) and European space agency (ESA). This space shuttle is considered “technological origami” because James Webb was designed to fold precisely in the rocket “Ariane 5”.
Every component of the space probe was tested and built to withstand the extreme temperatures of space making it the most complex instrument ever sent in space.
James Webb’s mission is to study the phases of the universe and understand how the universe was created and how stars can be created. It also studies exoplanets and scans the atmosphere, it can identify molecules of the atmosphere in the search for potential habitable worlds.
As we move through 2026, it is continuing its mission and provide crucial information to the scientists and rewriting the textbooks of astronomy.

Apollo 11
In English, we had a unit about space, and now we must write a text for the school newspaper on a space mission. I chose Apollo 11 because it's my favorite mission. I hope you will like this mission too and learn more about this mission.
On July 16, 1969, the mission Apollo 11 took place. Their goal was to get to the moon to research its materials. After four days of flying through space, they landed on the moon on July 20. Armstrong got off the shuttle almost immediately and become the first person to walk on the moon. About six hours later, Aldrin got off the shuttle and joined Armstrong. They spent about 2 hours and a half exploring the moon's surface.
The crew was made of just 3 people: Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong was the commander and first person on the moon, Buzz Aldrin was the lunar module pilot, and Micheal Collins was the command module pilot.
Getting to the moon is no easy task, if it was even possible to go to the moon by car it would take about 166 days if you were driving at about 100 km/h. With the rockets going around 3 km/s, it took about 4 days. They also had to calculate the trajectory of the ship and the moon, so the astronauts wouldn’t fly off in empty space for ever.
I think that this was important mission that gave us evidence that getting to the moon is possible.

Starlink Mission
In English class, we are talking about space missions, planets, astronauts and many other subjects that are related to space. So, we had to write a text about a space mission that we were interested in for the school newspaper. I chose the starlink mission because of the popularity of space x, the company that prepared the starlink missions as well as transporting NASA commercial crew to the ISS, helping colonizing mars and more, making it reliable and trustworthy for important missions in the future.
The objective of the starlink mission is to send a satellite in low orbit using the falcon 9 and detach it in the middle of the flight. There have been over a hundred other starlink missions and in those missions, only a small part has failed. Fortunately, this rocket has no human crew inside of them and is all controlled from the space station. All of them have used the same rocket plan, but it has improved over time, like a bigger fuel tank or a stronger engine. The satellites are used to provide network access to the users of starlink, the Wi-Fi and mobile data service owned by Elon Musk. The rocket is going to launch on January eight, 2026, at the Cape Canaveral space force station in Florida. It will contain twenty-nine satellites coming to a total of around 10 000 of them in orbit.
So, in conclusion, I think this mission is important for the future of humanity because of the number of satellites making it so you have good internet anywhere in the world and maybe becoming the most used Wi-Fi provider and helping people work from anywhere.

Artemis II
In English class, we had to choose a mission and research about it. And after, we had to write a text for the school newspaper. I chose Artemis II because this mission is particularly important for the future of humanity. In a few years, we might be able to settle on the moon and this mission will also enable other missions.
The mission Artemis II will send a crew around the moon to test innovative technologies and to prepare for other missions. The crew is composed of the commander Reid Wiseman, the pilot Victor Glover, the mission specialist Cristina Kosh (all Americans) and another mission specialist: the Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The spaceship will go around the moon. The equipment will be a Lauch SLS system rocket and the Orion spacecraft. The mission is aiming to establish a permanent presence on the moon and conduct the first crewed space flight test. The principal goal of the mission is to test new equipment.
This mission can help us to settle on the moon and allow many other missions. This is a major step forward establishing a presence on the moon.

SOYOUZ MS-11
In English class we talked about space missions and astronauts. My teacher told us to write about a space mission for the school newspaper. So, I’m going talk about David St-Jacques and is mission called Soyouz ms-11.
David St-Jacques embarked on the mission spatial soyouz ms-11 on the December 3rd, 2018, in Baïkonour, in Kazakhstan. In June 2019, after 204 days in space He came back on Earth. He was not alone in the soyouz ms-11. He was with Russian Commander, Oleg Kononenko and an American Flight engineer, Anne McClain. The soyouz ms-11 is made of aluminium, alloys, titanium and composites. Also, it is continents of solar arrays, communication navigations and control and life support. Its goals were to join the (ISS) to research in microgravity, human health and the universe. David St-Jacques became the fourth CSA astronaut to conduct a spacewalk and the first CSA astronaut to use Canadam2 to catch a visiting spacecraft.
I chose this mission because this mission worked with science experiments and technology demonstrations and that is the reason why I chose this mission.
This mission is important for the future because it supported research crucial for longer journeys in space, like a trip to the moon, Mars by improving in space and crew autonomy. The mission delivering advanced tools.

COSI Space Mission
In English class, we did a chapiter about space. So, our teacher asked as to write a text about a space mission. I am going to present to you the space mission COSI.
COSI is a space mission of the NASA that has the goal to study the energetic phenomena in the Milky way and beyond. The date for this space mission is August 2027. COSI will have a soft gamma-ray telescope, and this is a new technology to provide groundbreaking science. Since it will have a new technology, scientists are eager to test it. Since it is a gamma-ray telescope, there will be no body in the mission. COSI will go to 340 miles or 550 km\h. COSI will have an impact for future because it will help to understand energetic phenomena, the positron life cycle and even more about space and galaxies. I chose this mission because I think that its goal is very important for the future the science. Also, the material us for this mission interest me the gamma-ray is my favorite.

The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster
In English class we did a unit about space for almost 2 months, and Miss Tremblay asked us to write about a space mission. I chose to talk about the space shuttle Challenger because I thought it was an interesting subject and how a tiny mistake could lead to such a tragedy.
The original mission before the disaster was to use an inertial upper stage which is a two-stage, solid-fueled rocket booster built to deploy a tracking and data relay satellite to study Halley’s comet. A comet constantly visible from Earth which only appears every 72-80 years.
The incident happened on January 28,1986, above the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. It was 14km into the air before the explosion and was in the air for barely a minute long. The crew contained only seven people. The commander being Francis R. Scobee. Michael J. Smith was the pilot. Judith A. Resnik, Ronald E. McNair, and Ellison S. Onizuka were the mission specialists, The payload specialists were Gregory B. Jarvis. And S. Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher in space.
The cause of the explosion was an O-ring failure seal (prevents gas from leaking) in the right solid rocket booster, which allowed hot gases to leak out due to very cold weather when launching the rocket, leading to the explosion. Nasa managers got many warnings about the cold (2 °C) but still approved the launch.
This mission was important for the future because it made Nasa make more safety precautions to avoid similar problems.

In English class, we talked about space missions. Our English teacher asked us to choose a space mission to talk about the for the school newspaper. I chose to talk about the mission Luna 25. I chose this mission because I’m really a moon lover. When I saw this mission, I was really intrigued. The more I was searching about Luna 25, the more interesting it was getting.
Luna 25 was Russia first lunar lander mission in nearly fifty years.
The mission was organized by Roscosmos. Roscosmos is a state corporation of the Russia federation. They’re responsible of space activity. The mission was planed for august 11, 2023. It was supposed to last one year. They used a spacecraft, named “lunar lander”, built to land on the moon. The lunar lander was supposed to land near the moon south pole. Unfortunately, it was a failure. Luna 25 failed during a pre-landing maneuver and crashed on the moon’s surface, on august 19, eight days after it took off. Russia said that the reason is that an onboard control unit failed to turn off the lunar lander because it wasn’t receiving the necessary data.
Luna 25 was important for the study of ice water in space. Also, it was resurgence of Russia in space after cutting their ties with the west. Nevertheless, the failure of Luna 25 gave birth to Luna 26 that’ll start in 2027.

Space Mission STS-127
The project that my teacher gave us is to write a text about a space mission. In class, we made many research about the mission that we found the most interesting.
First, my mission is called the STS-127. The person who went on this mission was Julie Payette. She was canadian astronaut. She was part of the STS-127 mission that happened in 2009 in United States, Florida at Kennedy Space Center. The mission needed many equipment and materials. The astronaut needed spacesuits for spacewalks. For the rocket and the scientific experiment, the materials that was required was specialized tools for the robot's arms, cooling pump system modules, electronics robotic operations, etc. For the mission, they also used materials like aluminium, silica, graphite-epoxy composites, new batteries and many others stuff like that. The goal of this mission was to serve as Flight Engineer and finish the robotic operations. It was also to deliver and install the final components of the Japan new Space Exploration Agency. The importance of the mission was to complete Japan’s Kibo laboratory on the ISS by delivering its final external components. It was also to boost the station scientific capabilities.
Finally, I chose this mission because the mission made the record of 13 people on the ISS at the same time. It’s also because the astronaut of the mission was a Canadian woman and its rarely Canadians that lead some important mission like that.

The Soyuz 38 Mission
In English class, our teacher told us that we had to do an article about a space mission. I chose the Soyuz 38 mission because it had the astronaut Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez who is the first Cuban and African descent that went to space.
The crew of this mission was composed of Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez and Yuri Romanenko. Tamayo is from Guantanamo, Cuba. He was born on January 29, 1942. He is the first Cuban and African descent person going into space. Romanenko is from Russia. He was born on August 1, 1944. The main goal of this mission was to do scientific experiments on the Salyut 6 space station. They focused on biology and human physiology in low gravity. They also did Earth observations. The launch was in Baikonur Cosmodrome in the desert of Kazakhstan. Then, in space, they joined to the Salyut 6 space station. They didn’t use a space shuttle. They used the Soyuz-U (No. P15000-242) vehicle and the Soyuz 38 (7k-T No.54) spacecraft. The launch was done on September 18, 1980. The duration of this mission was of 7 days, 20 hours, 43 minutes, and 24 seconds. The cosmonauts returned to the Earth on September 26, 1980.
It was important for future because they did a lot of investigations about biology and human physiology so it’s important to know the capacity we have in low gravity and if it’s dangerous to stay a lot of time in that condition.

David Saint-Jacques
In English class, my teacher gave a production to talk about a space mission. So, I chose David Saint-Jaque because I love to do some experiment at home and he did some experiment with robots in space,
This mission was to test some international science experiment and do some technology experiment on robots. David Saint –Jaque is a Canadian astronaut, he is also an engineer and he on the space Agency. The mission started in the December 3, 2018, at 6: 31a.m, and he came back on June 24, 2019, at 10:47 p.m. With a team he went to the International Space Station (iss). Also, the kilometre with earth and the station (ISS) is 400km.He went I in a rocket to the station. Finally, the material that he used was some technology. The goal was to help community research about medical with some experience to know if you can stay one year in space. Also, the condition of human if the adaptation in space is good to stay there and not die.
This mission is important because we need to have advancement in medicine for Canada and to know more how long humans can stay in space and the impact on humans.

Aquarius
In English class, we had a unit about space. So, our teacher asked us to choose a space mission and to write a text about it. Then later, she would put it in the school newspaper for other people to read. I chose the mission Aquarius.
It’s a spacecraft that is made to orbit around a planet, also called an orbiter. Its mission is to observe Earth’s sea surface salinity to understand the water cycle and ocean circulation better. I chose Aquarius because I never really heard about a space mission that was about something from Earth (in this case, water cycle and ocean circulation). Its journey started on June 10th, 2011. In November 2014, Aquarius completed its primary three-year mission. It then ended on June 8th, 2015. Aquarius was a collaboration between NASA and Argentina’s space agency with the help of Brazil, Canada, France and Italy. The Aquarius sensors were able to detect 0.2 psu (Practical Salinity Units). This is like a pinch of salt in one gallon of water. Scientists were able to get more data in the mission’s first couple of months than in-water sensors and ships from the last 125 years. The information they gathered helped upgrade the perfection of computer climate models. Basically, the computers that tell the climate have been improved because of the facts researchers have found.
This completes my text about the space mission Aquarius. I hope you liked this article, have a good day.

Artemis II
In English Class we did several activities about space or space missions. I chose this mission named Artemis II because I think it can interest more people and they can have information about this mission to help the future generation and recent technologies or help to create intelligent robots.
The mission Artemis II includes four people. The commander Reid Wiseman, The pilot Victor Glover, the first mission specialist Christina Koch. (She is the first woman to fly to the moon), the second mission specialist and last person Jeremy Hansen. (He is the first Canadian to fly to the moon). The mission is organised no earlier than February 7 2026at 2h45 clocks. The astronauts will use the space shuttle Orion capsule for for their mission around the Moon. The primary objective of Artemis II is to conduct the first crewed test flight of NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.
Artemis II is important for the future. The mission will serve as a vital test of technologies and human endurance needed for the much longer and more challenging journey to Mars, using the moon as a proving ground for deep space operations it can also encourage people to do research.

Perseverance Robot
In English class, we have talked about space, and our teacher gave us a project to do. We have to write about a mission in space. I chose to speak about the mission with the perseverance robot because I found that it looks very interesting to put a robot on mars and control it. Event, if we find that there is microbial life on mars, it will be a big scientist progress, and I think that it would be nice.
The goal of the perseverance mission was to put a robot on Mars and search for signs of microbial life. Like that, we will know if there is life on Mars. This mission was also to take samples of rocks to study them on Earth in a laboratory. It could bring big scientist progress to know where the rocks are from. There was a lot of people who helped for this expedition. A thousand of scientists, engineers, and technicians from NASA and international partners like Canada and ESA. The mission on mars was specifically on Jezero Crater. This expedition was launched on July 30,2020 and the robot landed on mars on February 18, 2021. The perseverance robot landed on mars with a parachute. This robot also had an ingenuity helicopter to go on other planets, and a lot of others shelters.
In conclusion, I think that this mission is important for the future because if we succeed to have the technology to do a machine to breathe, scientist could explore mars, and it will be a big progress in science.

Space missions of Julie Payette
In English class, we worked on many projects about space. We did conversations and a short video that talked about people who saw an alien. Now, I have to present you an astronaut that a lot of people know. I chose Julie Payette. This woman is an incredible astronaut born on October. I wanted to do a text on her because she is from Québec and she inspires many women and kids. She’s the fourth women who had the post of “governor general of Canada and commander-in-chief of the Canadian Armed Forces", in 2017.That’s why I chose her.
She went two times in space for different tasks. Her first time in space was in 1999, on board of the Discovery space shuttle. She had to supervise and transfer four tons of material from the spacehab module into the Station. She also had to perform the first manual marriage of the shuttle to the International Space Station. Julie was the first person to control Canadarm. That was on the STS-96 mission. The second time was in 2009, when she was forty-five years old. Julie had to install the final module of the Japanese Kibo laboratory on the ISS. In the Endeavour rocket, she wore a pressurized spacesuit to protect herself. Before that, she trained to be prepared for several problems or difficulties in space. For example, she had to train on a simulator of Canadarm for many hours.
To finish, these missions are important for the future because it helped science and technology. Her accomplishment of the first maneuvers with Canadarm can help for the future to do another task like this. For example, to take materials to Mars.

Explorer 1
In English class, we discovered a lot of information about space. And we also searched for information about space missions. Miss Tremblay asked us to choose a space mission that interested us. The space mission that I found the most interesting was Explorer 1.
The people who planned this space mission were science explorers but also JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) which designed, built, and operated the spacecraft. The country that launched this satellite was the United States of America and they launched it specifically from Florida. Many tools were used to make this exploration possible. The satellite weighed 14 kg and 8.3kg of them were instrumentation. They also used cosmic ray packages to check nuclear reactors and to detect smuggled uranium. They also used temperature sensors. The whole satellite was powered by battery. The goal of this space mission was to demonstrate the American technological capability as a response to the numerous Soviet successes in space. They wanted to prove that they could do a successful space mission too. Therefore, it was the first American satellite to go to space. The reason I chose this space mission was because I found it interesting that the space explorers made many discoveries by doing this space mission even though they did not have the experience since this was their first satellite launch. For example, they discovered many radioactive anomalies and radiation belts that circle the earth.
The reason this mission was so important for the future is because it marked the beginning of space explorations in America. I believe that since this worked successfully, it inspired future generations to consider searching for more information about space explorations and to eventually continue to discover things about space and create history.

Challenger STS-51L
I am writing this text because our teacher asked us to write an article about a space mission for our school newspaper. I chose the Challenger STS-51L mission because I heard about it when I was younger and it really marked me, and I didn't want to take a “basic” mission that just goes in orbit, in space or to the moon, I wanted one that has more punch to surprise people.
The mission initially consisted of tracking satellite, conduct scientific observations of Halley’s comet with SPARTAN-203 payload, but the mission was different than usual because it had the first civilian with them, Christa McAuliffe.
She was supposed to teach lessons from the orbit to the Earth. The mission took place on the cap Canaveral in Florida, on January 28, 1986, almost 40 years ago. Sadly, the mission couldn't have been accomplished, because as soon the shuttle was at 46,000 feet above the Atlantic ocean, it disintegrated itself, ending the life of seven astronauts, Francis R. Scobee, Micheal J. smith, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnik, Ronald e. McNair, Gregory B. Jarvis and S. Christa McAuliffe. All of this happened because the rubber O-ring that was sealing between the rear-most segment of the shuttle’s right hand solid rocket booster due to the cold weather.
They learned to eliminate “normalizing of deviance” wich is using dangerous, unsure or illegal that becomes accepted over time. Now they ensure safety overrides schedule pressure, and re-engineering solid rocket boosters and to always check out especially when it's in cold weather.

A spacecraft mission
In English class, we talked about space and the space mission such as apollo 11, the ISS, etc. We went to the Cosmodôme and learned a lot more about space and we did a simulation as if we were on Mars. Now our teacher told us to write a text for the school newspaper about a space mission. I chose the Artemis space program because it is an interesting mission and I want to know more about it.
My space mission is the Artemis space program. This mission is about the moon. The goals of this mission are to return humans to the moon. It is to establish a base on the moon for science and for exploration. The second goal is for the first women to land on the moon and the first black person landing on the moon. The other goal is the SLS rocket, NASA is sending a powerful rocket deep into space. The Orion spacecraft is for sending astronauts into the moon orbit. Lunar gate away, is a small space station to support the mission. And Mars preparation, using the moon as a proving ground for technologies and operations needed for Mars missions. The NASA astronauts are Reid Wiseman (Commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist), Canadien space agency (CSA) Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist). The mission started in December 2017 and does not include an end date. In April 2026 would be the Artemis II. the first crewed to flyby by the lunar gateaway and in mid 2027 will be the Artemis III, the first crewed to land on the lunar surface. At NASA’s Kennedy space center in Florida. the rocket Lauch will be at. They are going to use some equipment to this mission. The first equipment is the SLS a powerful rocket that can send astronaut and heavy cargo directly to the moon. The SLS uses refurbished RS-25 main engines and solid rocket booster segments that flew on previous space shuttle missions. The second equipment is the Orion spacecraft. The Orion spacecraft is for a crew capsule design for deep space exploration. The Orion spacecraft consists of the crew module (where astronauts live), the European service module (providing propulsion and life support), and a launch abort system for safety during takeoff. The third equipment is the Orion stage adapter. This equipment is for connecting the SLS and the Orion. This will be useful in the Artemis ll in 2026 and would carry secondary playback like Cube stat. A cube stat is a tiny satellite that tickly is 10cm*10cm*10cm
This mission is important because the NASA wants to build a long-term human presence on the moon, serving as a stepping stone for future.

Lunar Mission
In this text, I will be talking about NASA’s future mission that is called Artemis ll. The reason I am writing this text is because it is a project in my English class. I chose this mission because it is a deep space mission that is important for the future!
This mission is quite revolutionary because it is the first crewed flight of the space launch system rocket (SLS) and Orion spacecraft! The SLS is important for deep space exploration and for both projects that were named Artemis. SLS is the only rocket that can send the Orion, astronauts, and cargo in space directly to the moon! The Orion is a bit like a vehicle for space. It is used to go to the moon and back to Earth safely. Now let’s talk about the astronauts who will be on this important mission! Let's start with the commander who is named Reid wiseman and the pilot named Victor Glover. We have two mission specialist Christina Koch from NASA and Jermy Hansen from the Canadian space mission. You are probably wondering when this mission is going to happen. There isn’t an exact date that I found, but it will be around late April. The space mission is meant to go around the moon to study Its surface but it's going into deep space. It has been 50 years since NASA did a deep space mission! So, this mission will be difficult. The goal of this mission is to help confirm systems and hardware needed for early human lunar missions are working properly.
I believe if everything goes as planned it would be incredibly good for the future for space missions, because this would help advance a lot with new equipment, materials, hardware etc... this mission will have a lot of impact for space exploration in general.

In this text, I will be talking about NASA’s future mission that is called Artemis ll. The reason I am writing this text is because it is a project in my English class. I chose this mission because it is a deep space mission that is important for the future!
This mission is quite revolutionary because it is the first crewed flight of the space launch system rocket (SLS) and Orion spacecraft! The SLS is important for deep space exploration and for both projects that were named Artemis. SLS is the only rocket that can send the Orion, astronauts, and cargo in space directly to the moon! The Orion is a bit like a vehicle for space. It is used to go to the moon and back to Earth safely. Now let’s talk about the astronauts who will be on this important mission! Let's start with the commander who is named Reid wiseman and the pilot named Victor Glover. We have two mission specialist Christina Koch from NASA and Jermy Hansen from the Canadian space mission. You are probably wondering when this mission is going to happen. There isn’t an exact date that I found, but it will be around late April. The space mission is meant to go around the moon to study Its surface but it's going into deep space. It has been 50 years since NASA did a deep space mission! So, this mission will be difficult. The goal of this mission is to help confirm systems and hardware needed for early human lunar missions are working properly.
I believe if everything goes as planned it would be incredibly good for the future for space missions, because this would help advance a lot with new equipment, materials, hardware etc... this mission will have a lot of impact for space exploration in general.

Artemis
A really important project for the future :
In English class, we have to do an article about a space mission. We could choose what we wanted. After reflections, I selected the mission Artemis. Why? Because I love space and I like to learn more about the space missions. Also, I don’t know a lot about it, and it looked very interesting. It is the first lunar manned mission since 1972. It is a revolutionary trip to the Moon. I learned Canada is the second country that send an astronaut in orbit around our natural satellite. It was easier for me to write this subject because I am a journalist to the school newspaper.
What is the mission Artemis:
The project Artemis is a big subject of actuality, because it is very important for the future generations. This mission consists to return to the moon and establish a permanent base. Also, it is like a springboard before Mars. There are three missions, Artemis I, II and III. In 2022, the first mission was launched. It was just a vessel who was placed in orbit around the Moon. For the second, it will be in April 2026. This time, there are going to be four astronauts in the shuttle. Their names are Christina Koch, Victor J. Glover, Reid Wiseman and Jeremy Hansen. They are going to pass ten days around the Moon before a landing in the Pacific. It will be in view of the next lunar mission. For these missions, the astronauts use the Orion spaceship. The third mission will be in 2027. This one will start at Gateway Station before being propelled by the SLS Launch. After that, the crew will head to the Moon. When the shuttle will land, two astronauts will come put their feet on the ground after twelve people. To summarize, this mission is the return of humanity on the Moon. It is also like a preparation for future missions to Mars.

Perseverance could change the world
Hello, my name is Raphaël and in this article I am going to present you Perseverance for a project in English class. I chose this mission because it is exploration which could completely change future missions in space.
First, what is Perseverance? It is a range rover that was sent on mars for exploration. Led by Farah Alibay from Montréal and a lot of teams of scientists, it was sent in space on the 30th of July 2020, and it is still there. This robot is equipped with 2 little shuttles that serve to do the flight and to have a soft landing.
But what is this mission? Perseverance has a lot of goals like the research of microbial life, the study of the climate and the environment and some tests of equipment for the future generation. It also takes samples for science test. It was specially placed in the Jezero crater because that’s a place where there could have been water.
Finally, what is its importance for the future? With the information Perseverance will gather, humans could eventually go on mars. With the information about the climate, the environment and the test, humans could have enough to create technologies and equipment to send people farther than just the moon.
So, in conclusion, Perseverance is necessary for the success of other human exploration like Mars or Venus.

MISSION MOON
In my English class my teacher told to alot a text about a space mission it. I chose the mission to the moon. Because the Nasa practiced a lot for this mission and is not very easy to go in the moon is very . I chose this mission because the moon is very important for science. the mission aimed to gather data and explore the Luner surface.
The first human to go in the moon was NEIL ARMSTRONG, it was first human to put her foot in the moon. The spaceship Apollo the took off the Earth on 16 Julty1969 at 9h32am. The spaceship lands the moon on 20 July 1969 at 20h17am.the equipment special is the spaceship apollo, combination special, the swash omega speedmaster. The goals are the national goal is, president Kenedy challenging the nation in 1961 to a achieve this feat felon the code ended.
It driven goal setting, innovation and adaptation preventing reactive living and for tiring proactive development of individuals and softies. Just in English class the project war ever is good verry good.

Back to The Moon
I decided to do the article because of our assignment in English class, but I chose this one specifically because I wanted to talk about a still ongoing mission. I also chose it since their goal was something we never succeeded in doing, sending a person to Mars. In the overall reason I decided was because I was curious whether they would succeed or not.
Artemis is an operation about a person going to Mars. Nasa started this expedition by sending the first Artemis mission to the moon. The spacecraft was uncrewed and had multiple complication at the start, but at the end, didn’t land but traveled around the moon, which was farther than any other space craft ever done.
The second mission is different from the first one since this one is a test flight to see if the shuttle can sustain a crew. This shuttle has four members on its crew which are; Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen and Reid Wiseman. Nasa also announced that they will start this year and that it would last 10 days. The crew will only get to the moon, but future mission could go to Mars.
They will do this operation with the; Orion spacecraft, the SLS rocket, the Gateway, the human landing system and with advanced spacesuits for a long-term human exploration on the moon.
There are a few reasons why they are doing this which are for scientific discovery, economic benefits and inspiration for new generations. The main goal of this is to discover if there is other form of life out there on mars since it is the only other planet where we found extraterrestrial life in. The last reason of this expedition is to also discover more about the Earth.

Apollo 13
In English class, we did a unit about space. We talked about a lot of things. For example, we talked about the ISS (International Space Station), Chris Hadfield and more. Then, Mrs. Tremblay, our English teacher, asked us to make a text about space mission for the school newspaper. I decided to talk about Apollo 13. I chose this mission because I saw a movie on Netflix talking about what happen. It was interesting and I wanted to share the story.
Apollo 13 was supposed to be the third moon landing. They were about to explore the Fra Mauro Highlands. This exploration could give us information about the creation of earth and more. On Apollo 13 they were three people. Jim Lovell was the commander, Jack Swigert was the command module pilot and Fred Haise was the lunar module pilot.
On April 11, 1970, the service module launched. Everybody in the spaceship was ready. Unfortunately, on April 13, something went wrong.
The oxygen tank in the service module exploded, disabling the electrical and life support system. This event makes the moon landing impossible. Without oxygen in the service module, they had to stay in the Lunar module. On Earth, they went through a whole procedure to bring back the three men. To comeback, they needed to orbit around the moon. During the journey to come back on Earth, they went through a lot of problem. The astronauts did not have enough food and water for 4 days. They were very tired.
Everybody on Earth was scared about this story. When they come back on Earth, everyone was watching the landing in the Pacific Ocean.
If Apollo 13 land on the moon, we would have known a lot about the Earth and the moon. That would have been a major scientific advancement.

The renowned Chris Hadfield
In English class we did a space unit for some time and, our teacher asked us to write a text for the school newspapers. I chose this person, Chris Hadfield, because of his captivating life. Indeed, he wanted to become an astronaut at the age of nine while watching the apollo 11 landing. He wanted to pursue the impossible. Also, Chris Hadfield was fascinated by space and had a desire for adventure and discovery.
Chris Hadfield is a Canadian retired astronaut, fighter pilot, author, and lastly a musician. He was selected as an astronaut in 1992 at the age of 32 years old. In November 1995, Chris went for the first time to space with the Russian space station named Mir with NASA, making him the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm in orbit and the only Canadian to ever board Mir. The reason why he went to the mission was to help with the first docking between the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Russia’s Mir space station. He did research, installed, and maintained equipment for the Canadram2 on the ISS. Chris became commander of the ISS on March 13 ,2013. He also helped to attach a docking module and transfer supplies during the 8-day mission. This brave man made a significant step in international space cooperation. Indeed, he became the first Canadian commander for the international space station (ISS) and was famous for his viral social media presence.
The reason why Hadfield is important in the future is because of his extreme leadership. Indeed, he is an inspiration for young Canadians. Also, for his global engagement in space.

Europa Space mission
For this project our teacher asked us to write for the school newspaper. The subject of this work is a space mission, and I will be talking about Europe clipper. I chose this because I think Jupiter is a very interesting planet with all the constituents it has and for having at least 95 moons, one of them being Europa.
Europa clipper is a spacecraft built to investigate Jupiter's moon Europa. Who is involved in this mission? Firstly, Europa was discovered by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1610. Currently this mission involves major USA centers like NASA jet propulsion laboratory. This spacecraft was launched on October 14, 2024, set to arrive in April 2030. About 5,5 years to reach the goal, also utilizing gravity assist from the planets Mars and Earth. Europa clippers currently is at more than 300 million kilometers from Earth. Situated in the constellation libra. The project was made mainly of nine science instruments that will work in sync while collecting data to complete the mission. Example, The Europa clipper magnetometer, surface dust analyzer, plasma instruments for magnetic sounding etc.. The goal of all this mission is to explore the icy moon's ocean to see if it has any possible support for life. Europa clipper will search for chemicals, water plumes erupting from the ice, organic materials, salt, and measure its depth.
Why is this important for the future? Because it could potentially look for life conditions beyond Earth, and it's the first space mission dedicated to a detailed study of the ocean world. Also helping guide future searches for life.
