Plus de 50 ans depuis les d\u00e9buts de l\u2019\u00e8re spatiale, seuls deux pays ont pos\u00e9 des vaisseaux spatiaux sur la lune : les \u00c9tats-Unis et la Russie. Mais cette situation pourrait bient\u00f4t changer, car l\u2019Europe et plusieurs autres puissances spatiales cherchent \u00e0 entrer dans ce club ferm\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

L\u2019ESA s\u2019applique actuellement \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper la premi\u00e8re mission qui visitera les hautes terres spectaculaires qui entourent le p\u00f4le Sud de la Lune. Son plan consiste \u00e0 construire un vaisseau spatial capable d\u2019alunir avec une parfaite pr\u00e9cision dans ce paysage de crat\u00e8res montagneux. Pour atteindre en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9 la surface, l\u2019alunisseur doit pouvoir descendre de son orbite jusqu\u2019\u00e0 un pic montagneux ou \u00e0 une bordure de crat\u00e8re. Il doit \u00e9galement \u00e9viter les rochers et les pentes abruptes avant de se poser d\u00e9licatement dans la poussi\u00e8re lunaire.<\/p>\n

La Lune est une cible privil\u00e9gi\u00e9e des missions d\u2019exploration \u00e9voqu\u00e9es par 14 agences spatiales du monde entier dans leur document Strat\u00e9gie mondiale d\u2019exploration. Les p\u00f4les lunaires sont consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme la cl\u00e9 d\u2019une exploration future de la Lune. Certains endroits des bordures de crat\u00e8res re\u00e7oivent presque en permanence la lumi\u00e8re du soleil, \u00e0 partir de laquelle il est possible de produire de l\u2019\u00e9lectricit\u00e9. \u00c0 proximit\u00e9, la glace qui se trouve sur le sol des crat\u00e8res situ\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019ombre peut servir \u00e0 produire de l\u2019oxyg\u00e8ne et de l\u2019eau.<\/p>\n

A contract for in-depth design studies was signed by ESA and EADS-Astrium of Germany on 16 September 2010. Over the next 18 months, some of the key technologies for the lunar lander will be developed and tested for the first time. If all goes according to plan, Europe’s pathfinder will arrive safely at the Moon\u2019s south pole in 2018.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
