Summary

This episode of ‘Dernières Nouvelles des Étoiles’ covers three major space news stories. First, the NASA Mars 2020 rover, which is under construction and based on the Curiosity platform, aims to search for fossilized microbial life and collect samples for a potential future return to Earth. The rover will carry advanced instruments for in-situ analysis and sample caching, but the return mission is not yet funded. Second, the startup Relativity Space plans to 3D-print entire launch vehicles, aiming to drastically reduce costs by automating manufacturing. Their first rocket, Terran-1, is expected to launch in 2021. Third, Bigelow Aerospace’s inflatable module BEAM, currently attached to the ISS, has passed its initial tests and will be used for storage, with its stay extended to five years. The company plans larger modules, B330 and BA2100, for independent orbital stations, potentially opening space to private tourism and commercial use.
