NASA celebrates in video its formidable year 2022, which was a great vintage in terms of space conquest and astronomy.
2022 will remain in NASA’s memory as a great year. Between the beginnings of the James Webb Space Telescope and the launch of the Artemis 1 mission, which carried the Orion capsule around the Moon, through the maiden flight of the SLS (Space Launch System), the space agency American has not been idle. And it was also in 2022 that there was the first planetary defense test.
The highlights of the space conquest of 2022
Of course, the video is centered on US space news — no wonder from NASA. But 2022 has been marked by other notable milestones – whether for the Chinese, the completion of their space station or, for the French, the designation of a new astronaut, Sophie Adenot. We have also seen spectacular things in the field of astronomy.
In 2023, the program also promises to be busy. In addition to the new images that we expect from James, Webb, we should also finally see in action (barring yet another delay?) SpaceX’s Starship rocket. It should also be the debut of the Ariane 6 launcher. Several space missions are also due to leave next year, from Psyché to Juice, via Polaris Dawn.
Ad astra!
