Africa-Press – Togo. <\/strong> <\/span>Elle s’est entrai\u0302ne\u0301e a\u0300 leurs co\u0302te\u0301s pendant des anne\u0301es pour ce jour-J: Jenni Gibbons, astronaute canadienne, e\u0301tait lundi 6 avril 2026 au coeur de la salle de contro\u0302le de la Nasa a\u0300 Houston pour accompagner a\u0300 distance ses camarades d’Artemis II dans leur vol autour de la Lune. Astronaute de re\u0301serve pour la mission, Mme Gibbons e\u0301tait responsable des communications avec l’e\u0301quipage et a ve\u0301cu avec eux le de\u0301roule\u0301 de cette journe\u0301e hors du commun. Elle revient pour l’AFP sur ces heures au cours desquelles trois Ame\u0301ricains – Christina Koch, Victor Glover et Reid Wiseman – et un Canadien – Jeremy Hansen – ont vole\u0301 autour de la Lune pour la premie\u0300re fois en plus d’un demi-sie\u0300cle et ont battu le record des e\u0302tres humains s’e\u0301tant aventure\u0301s le plus loin dans l’espace.<\/p>\n

AFP: Quelle e\u0301tait l’ambiance dans la salle de contro\u0302le?<\/b>
\nJenni Gibbons:<\/b> L’enthousiasme lors des descriptions (de la Lune ndlr) par l’e\u0301quipage e\u0301tait immense. Tous les contro\u0302leurs de vol ont probablement e\u0301te\u0301 inspire\u0301s par le programme Apollo et ont travaille\u0301 toute leur vie pour voir ce moment arriver.<\/p>\n

Et aujourd’hui, nous avons battu le record d’Apollo 13, soit la distance la plus grande jamais parcourue par des e\u0302tres humains depuis notre plane\u0300te.<\/p>\n

Ce moment e\u0301tait exceptionnel. Je crois les gens ont pleure\u0301 a\u0300 un moment, ils e\u0301taient reconnaissants. Il y avait des gens qui riaient, d’autres qui se sont serre\u0301s dans les bras, c’e\u0301tait tout simplement l’un des plus beaux moments de ma carrie\u0300re.<\/p>\n

En quoi ce survol e\u0301tait historique?<\/b><\/p>\n

Tout d’abord, ils sont alle\u0301s plus loin que quiconque ne l’a jamais e\u0301te\u0301. Les autres missions Apollo avaient vole\u0301 bien plus pre\u0300s de la Lune. La perspective de notre Terre vue de si loin devait donc e\u0302tre absolument saisissante.<\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, certaines re\u0301gions situe\u0301es sur la face cache\u0301e de la Lune n’e\u0301taient jamais apparues illumine\u0301es lors des missions Apollo.<\/p>\n

Les astronautes d’Apollo n’avaient donc pas pu voir certains des reliefs qu’Artemis II a observe\u0301s et de\u0301crits aujourd’hui. Aucun oeil humain ne les avait jamais vus. Nous les avions de\u0301ja\u0300 observe\u0301s gra\u0302ce a\u0300 des techniques d’imagerie a\u0300 distance, mais c’est la premie\u0300re fois que les came\u0301ras les plus sensibles au monde, a\u0300 savoir les yeux humains, ont pu les observer.<\/p>\n

Quelle description vous a le plus marqu<\/b>e\u0301e<\/p>\n

A\u0300 la fin de cette pe\u0301riode de survol, quelque chose de vraiment exceptionnel s’est produit. Avec la date a\u0300 laquelle nous avons de\u0301colle\u0301, la me\u0301canique orbitale e\u0301tait telle qu’apre\u0300s le survol de la Lune, l’e\u0301quipage a assiste\u0301 a\u0300 une e\u0301clipse.<\/p>\n

Gra\u0302ce a\u0300 cela, ils ont pu observer des de\u0301tails incroyables de l’espace lointain et de la surface lunaire sans e\u0302tre aveugle\u0301s par la lumie\u0300re du Soleil: des de\u0301tails tre\u0300s fins et me\u0302me des de\u0301tails de la couronne solaire (la couche la plus externe de l’atmosphe\u0300re du Soleil, ndlr) au moment ou\u0300 le Soleil passait derrie\u0300re la Lune.<\/p>\n

Ils avaient d’ailleurs emporte\u0301 des lunettes pour les e\u0301clipses afin de se prote\u0301ger. Toutes les personnes ayant de\u0301ja\u0300 ve\u0301cu une e\u0301clipse sur Terre ont donc pu s’identifier a\u0300 eux.<\/p>\n

Ils ont e\u0301galement raconte\u0301 que lorsque la Lune e\u0301tait plonge\u0301e dans l’obscurite\u0301, ils ont observe\u0301 des flashs de lumie\u0300re cause\u0301s par des impacts a\u0300 la surface, c’est-a\u0300-dire des mate\u0301riaux heurtant la surface lunaire et cre\u0301ant de nouveaux crate\u0300res.<\/p>\n

Cela n’avait e\u0301te\u0301 que rarement observe\u0301. Les astronautes d’Apollo avaient peut-e\u0302tre mentionne\u0301 quelques cas, mais il s’agissait pour nous d’une priorite\u0301 scientifique majeure. Le fait qu’ils en aient vu quatre ou cinq est tout simplement remarquable.<\/p>\n
