    Avec une photographie prise à environ 29 000 kilomètres de la Terre, l’équipage de la mission Apollo 17 assurait la tâche que lui avait assignée la NASA lors de son voyage vers la Lune en décembre 1972 : rapporter une photographie du globe terrestre parfaitement rond et plein cadre. Ce cliché accédera au statut d’icône en devenant « La Bille bleue » (« The Blue Marble) ». Dans November. November. En route pour la Lune, la Terre en tête, paru en janvier 2025 aux Éditions La Baconnière, le géographe et écrivain Alexandre Chollier nous livre un récit passionnant et soigneusement documenté des circonstances de la réalisation de l’image parfaite de notre planète.

    #Frontex achète des #drones pour une #surveillance renforcée aux frontières de l’UE

    Alors que les États membres demandent à la Commission européenne de renforcer les #frontières_extérieures, l’agence européenne de garde-frontières et de garde-côtes, Frontex, vient de lancer des appels d’offres d’un montant total d’environ 400 millions d’euros pour l’achat d’#équipements, de drones et d’autres #technologies de surveillance.

    En réponse à la demande des États membres formulée en juillet, la commissaire aux Affaires intérieures, Ylva Johansson, semble donner suite à leur souhait de renforcer les frontières extérieures de l’UE.

    La commissaire s’est engagée à consolider le régime de visa de l’UE et à lancer un appel à propositions à hauteur de 150 millions d’euros destiné à la « #capacité_de_surveillance_des_frontières » de l’UE.

    Dans des lettres adressées à la Commission en mai et en juin, les États membres ont exhorté l’exécutif européen à intensifier ses efforts pour externaliser l’immigration, en empêchant les exilés en situation irrégulière de poser le pied sur le sol de l’UE.

    Dans le discours prononcé devant le Parlement européen avant sa réélection à la présidence de la Commission en juillet, Ursula von der Leyen a annoncé son intention de tripler les #effectifs de Frontex et de nommer un commissaire à la Méditerranée, afin de s’attaquer aux flux de personnes qui tentent de se rendre dans les États membres du sud de l’UE.

    Cet été, l’agence européenne des frontières, Frontex, a lancé une série d’appels d’offres pour renforcer ses capacités le long des frontières extérieures de l’UE.

    Concrètement, un #appel_d’offres concerne des drones et des services connexes pour la #surveillance_maritime, d’une valeur de 184 millions d’euros, un autre appel d’offres se focalise sur le matériel de surveillance, y compris des #lunettes_de_vision_nocturne, d’une valeur de 19 millions d’euros. Un troisième appel d’offres d’une valeur de 186,5 millions d’euros vise les services de technologies de l’information et de la communication (#TIC). Enfin, un projet pilote de 3 millions d’euros pour des drones aux frontières terrestres est aussi envisagé dans le cadre d’opérations conjointes avec la #Bulgarie.

    La facture totale avoisine les 400 millions d’euros.

      Frontex Expands Drone Fleet as EU Intensifies Border Surveillance

      https://eutoday.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Heron-MKII-IAI-scaled-1-e1724238468651-1170x682.jpg

      The European Union’s border agency, Frontex, has significantly ramped up its use of drones as part of a broader push to tighten control over the bloc’s external borders, with recent tenders amounting to nearly €400 million.

      This move comes amid growing pressure from EU member states for the European Commission to reinforce border security and prevent irregular migration.

      Frontex’s latest wave of investment includes a €184 million call for maritime surveillance drones, €19 million for night vision surveillance equipment, and €186.5 million for information and communication technology services, as well as a €3 million pilot project for drones monitoring land borders in cooperation with Bulgaria.

      The total expenditure reflects a robust commitment to deploying advanced technologies for border control, as the EU intensifies efforts to externalise migration management and prevent irregular migrants from reaching European shores.
      Heightened Focus on Border Security

      The EU’s border strategy has evolved significantly over the past decade. Member states have increasingly called for stronger border controls to address the migration challenges faced by southern European countries. In response, Frontex has expanded its operational capabilities, including the use of drones for surveillance, particularly along the EU’s external maritime borders in Italy, Malta, and Greece.

      Drones were first integrated into Frontex operations in 2018, contributing to the detection of nearly 5,000 individuals at sea in that year alone. Their use was further formalised in 2019 when the mandate of the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) was broadened to include drones in its air surveillance framework. Since then, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles has become a central element of the EU’s border control strategy.

      In 2020, Frontex awarded contracts worth €100 million to Airbus and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for the deployment of Heron drones, capable of extended flights exceeding 30 hours. These drones have been instrumental in monitoring the Mediterranean Sea, including during the 2023 Messenia migrant boat disaster, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 650 people.
      Controversy Surrounding Drone Use

      Frontex’s use of drones has not been without controversy. In 2022, reports emerged that intelligence gathered by Frontex drones, operated out of Malta, was being used by Libyan authorities to intercept migrant boats in the Mediterranean, resulting in the forced return of thousands of individuals to Libya, a country with a troubling record of human rights violations. A Human Rights Watch report concluded that in 2021, some 10,000 migrants were intercepted and returned to Libya, many of them as a direct result of data provided by EU surveillance aircraft.

      The allegations raised concerns about the role of Frontex in what critics have termed “pushback” operations, where migrants are prevented from entering EU territory without being given the opportunity to seek asylum. These operations have drawn widespread criticism from human rights organisations, who argue that they violate international law and exacerbate the risks faced by vulnerable individuals attempting to cross the Mediterranean.

      Despite these concerns, Frontex has defended its actions, emphasising its focus on combating human trafficking and preventing loss of life at sea. According to the agency, its surveillance efforts are aimed at detecting vessels in distress and alerting national rescue authorities to ensure timely interventions. However, the agency has refrained from addressing the broader criticisms regarding its cooperation with non-EU countries like Libya.
      Expansion of Surveillance Capabilities

      The recent tenders indicate that Frontex is committed to expanding its drone capabilities further, with plans to spend €184 million on maritime drones over the next four years. This represents a marked increase in spending compared to previous years, suggesting a shift towards more consistent and large-scale deployments of drones in border surveillance operations.

      Frontex’s budget has seen significant growth over the past decade, reflecting the increasing political prioritisation of migration control within the EU. In 2025, the agency’s budget is expected to reach nearly €1 billion, a substantial increase from the €233 million allocated in 2016. This cash infusion is intended to support Frontex’s expanding role, which now includes a broader range of responsibilities, from assisting member states with border management to conducting joint operations with non-EU countries.

      According to military analyst Major Rasmus Ross from the Royal Danish Defence College, drones are just one element of a multi-layered approach to border security. While drones provide situational awareness, other technologies and equipment are necessary to create a comprehensive surveillance network capable of responding to a variety of threats.
      Broader Implications for Migration Management

      The increasing reliance on drones for border surveillance has significant implications for how the EU manages migration. For many experts, this shift towards greater surveillance represents an effort to externalise EU borders, pushing migration controls further into non-EU territories with questionable human rights records, such as Libya and Tunisia. By identifying migrant vessels earlier and further from European shores, Frontex can reduce the need for European coastguards to intervene, potentially leaving the responsibility to non-EU countries with less stringent asylum and human rights protections.

    Navajo Nation president asks NASA to delay Moon launch over possible human remains
    ▻https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-news/2023-12-28/navajo-nation-president-asks-nasa-to-delay-moon-launch-over-possible-human-rem

    https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/32c526d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2048x1075+0+145/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F4a%2F78%2F777268e14c219662bc97172c02c4%2F41103964212-92abc18b2d-k.jpg

    Envoyer des résidus de crémation sur la Lune !!! Mais combien d’idées farfelues, inutiles, malsaines peuvent naître dans l’esprit de gens avides d’argent ? (car l’entreprise est certainement payante, je dirais même rentable, tant les riches veulent laisser leur empreinte partout, quitte à détruire le commun).

    Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren has asked NASA to delay a scheduled launch to the Moon that could include cremated remains.

    Nygren says he recently learned of the Jan. 8 launch of the Vulcan Centaur carrying the Peregrine Mission One. The lander will carry some payloads from a company known to provide memorial services by shipping human cremated remains to the Moon.

    Nygren wants the launch delayed and the tribe consulted immediately. He noted the Moon is sacred to numerous Indigenous cultures and that depositing human remains on it is “tantamount to desecration.”

    NASA previously came under fire after the ashes of former geologist and planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker were sent to the Moon in 1998.

    Then-Navajo Nation President Albert Hale said the action was a gross insensitivity to the beliefs of many Native Americans. NASA later apologized and promised to consult with tribes before authorizing any similar missions in the future.

    Nygren highlighted this commitment in his letter, as well as a 2021 memo signed by the Biden administration that pledged to consult the tribe on matters that impact them.

    “This memorandum reinforced the commitment to Executive Order 13175 of November 6, 2000,” President Nygren wrote. “Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Interagency Coordination and Collaboration for the Protection of Indigenous Sacred Sites, which you and several other members of the Administration signed in November 2021, further underscores the requirement for such consultation.”

    He added this explicitly recognizes that sacred sites can consist of “places that afford views of important areas of land, water, or of the sky and celestial bodies.”

    NASA has yet to respond.

    Lancée en avril de Kourou, la sonde européenne #Juice ira explorer les trois plus grosses lunes glacées de #Jupiter.

    « Juice est la première #sonde_spatiale européenne à destination d’une planète située à cette distance du système solaire », souligne Olivier Witasse, responsable scientifique de la mission Juice pour l’#Agence_spatiale_européenne (#ESA). Il poursuit en résumant son objectif essentiel : « Il s’agit de savoir si les #océans_souterrains de #lune_Callisto, #lune_Europe et #lune_Ganymède abritent des conditions propices à l’émergence à la vie. Pour y arriver, la sonde va analyser ces océans, lesquels sont situés en dessous des surfaces glacières des trois satellites. »
    Ces trois lunes, dites « #lunes_galiléennes » car observées pour la première fois en 1610 par l’astronome et physicien italien #Galilée, sont les plus massives du système jupitérien, qui en compte 79 au total. Leur point commun majeur : elles sont les seules à contenir de l’eau liquide, première condition à l’éventuelle présence de traces de vie.
    « Les instruments embarqués dans la sonde devraient déterminer les caractéristiques chimiques de leurs océans souterrains et reconstituer leur évolution », précise Francis Rocard, astrophysicien et responsable du programme d’exploration du système solaire au #Centre_national_des_études_spatiales (#CNES). « D’après nos données existantes, on pense que cette eau liquide se trouve sous 40 kilomètres d’épaisseur de glace. Certaines portions, comme des lacs souterrains, pourraient se trouver plus proches du sol. Si cette eau contient du sel dissous, ce serait déjà un premier signal de conditions propices à la vie. Mais attention, tout ceci reste à confirmer par Juice, c’est là tout son travail », prévient Olivier Witasse de l’ESA.

    À sec, la grande soif des multinationales

    https://manif-est.info/IMG/jpg/safe_image.jpg

    Depuis des décennies, les grandes multinationales de l’eau en bouteille amplifient leur pression sur les nappes phréatiques, au détriment des populations locales. Dans la région auvergnate de Volvic, l’État a accordé à la multinationale Danone de nouveaux droits de prélèvement, alors même que le niveau des réserves d’eau atteignait un niveau alarmant. Plusieurs sources historiques sont désormais taries, laissant sinistré le secteur autrefois florissant de la pisciculture. À Vittel, dans les Vosges, Nestlé Waters - premier employeur de la région - contrôle le territoire dont il surexploite sciemment l’aquifère. La firme suisse se trouve désormais embourbée dans une affaire de prise illégale d’intérêts doublée d’un scandale de pollution des sols. De l’autre côté du Rhin, c’est le géant Coca-Cola qui projette d’exploiter un troisième puits.

    La Nasa s’attend à un désastre naturel pour la prochaine décennie. Dans un étude conjoint avec l’Université d’Hawaï, l’agence spatiale américaine prédit la catastrophe que pourrait causer le futur changement d’orbite de la Lune. L’étude conclut qu’une « oscillation de la Lune » provoquera des inondations records dans « les années 2030 », selon les résultats publiés dans la revue Nature.

    Cette oscillation de notre astre, mêlé au dérèglement climatique, aura un impact particulièrement important pour les villes côtières. « La combinaison de la force gravitationnelle de la Lune, de l’élévation du #niveau_de_la_mer et du changement climatique va entraîner des inondations sur les côtes du monde entier », avertit le chercheur Bill Nelson, dans un communiqué de la NASA, relayé par nos confrères de Ouest-France. « Les plaines proches du niveau de la mer sont de plus en plus menacées à cause de l’augmentation des inondations, et cela ne fera qu’empirer », poursuit-il.

    NASA will pay for moon rocks excavated by private companies | MIT Technology Review

    Any commercial mission that can prove it has collected lunar samples stands to make up to $25,000.
    by

    Neel V. Patel

    NASA announced today that it was seeking proposals from private companies interested in collecting samples from the moon and making them available for purchase by the agency.

    The news: As part of the new initiative, one or more companies will launch a mission to the moon and collect between 50 and 500 grams of lunar regolith from the surface. If they can store the sample in a proper container and send pictures and data to NASA to prove the sample has been collected and can be brought to Earth safely, NASA will pay that company between $15,000 and $25,000.

    The company would receive 10% of its payment after its bid is selected by NASA, 10% after the mission launches, and the remaining 80% upon delivering the materials to NASA. The agency has yet to determine exactly how it will retrieve the sample, but the exchange would be expected to happen “in place” on the moon itself—meaning any participating company is only obligated to figure out how to get to the moon. NASA would retain sole ownership of the material upon transfer.

    NEWS: @NASA is buying lunar soil from a commercial provider! It’s time to establish the regulatory certainty to extract and trade space resources. More: ▻https://t.co/B1F5bS6pEy pic.twitter.com/oWuGHnB8ev
    — Jim Bridenstine (@JimBridenstine) September 10, 2020

    The samples could be from anywhere on the surface of the moon, and could possess any rock, dust, or ice materials. The agency wants to complete these exchanges before 2024.

    What’s in it for NASA: There’s an extremely high demand for lunar material among scientists. Nearly all the lunar material currently in NASA’s possession was collected during the Apollo program. While the initiative itself will only bring a small amount to Earth compared with the hundreds of kilograms gathered during Apollo, this could be the first step in establishing a new pipeline for lunar samples, in which NASA buys from the private sector instead of devoting resources to building and launching missions for that purpose.

    In a blog post published today, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said the new initiative is part of the agency’s larger goal with the Artemis program to bolster private-sector participation in space exploration. The agency is already working with several launch providers under its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program to deliver nearly two dozen scientific and technological payloads to the moon in the run-up to a crewed landing by the end of 2024. The 2024 landing itself is slated to utilize hardware built by private companies, most notably the lunar lander for taking humans to the surface.

    What’s in it for the company: $25,000 is paltry compensation for such a mission, so any companies that participate won’t be in this for money. Instead, it’s an incentive to test out new technologies, including those that could be later used to extract resources like water ice from the moon. The mission outlined in today’s announcement will only involve collecting and storing material from the surface, but that’s still something no private company has done before.

    Legal questions: Lastly, many of America’s larger lunar ambitions focus on establishing a moon mining industry and developing a marketplace that allows excavated resources to be bought and sold by different parties. Bridenstine alludes to these plans in his blog post, referencing President Trump’s April 2020 executive order that encourages the recovery and use of resources in outer space. That order was a follow-up to a law passed in 2015 outlining America’s position that US companies are allowed to own and sell resources they’ve extracted from extraterrestrial bodies. There’s still debate as to whether such policies conflict with the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty.

    Perpetual almanac. 17th-century illustration of a perpetual almanac (a type of calendar) devised for the English county of Staffordshire, and presented in the form of a clog almanac, which consisted of a log of wood with four edges, shown here as four vertical blocks. Each notch represents a day, with large notches representing a week. Each of the edges shows a period of three months, with the whole representing a year. The symbols represent religious festivals and phases of the moon. The dedication by English naturalist Robert Plot (1640-1696), first Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, and the first keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, is to English antiquary Elias Ashmole (1617-1692). Artwork from Plot’s ’The Natural History of Staffordshire’ (1686).

    DELL’ ALMANACCO PERPETTUO1676Splendid WoodcutsRare BookVenice, Italy, 1676. Exceedingly rare early edition of this scarce intriguing almanac. Many woodcuts, detailed and delightful. Medicine meets mysticism, science mixes with sorcery. Odd and intriguing. In darkened vellum binding, worn, missing corner, and the binding is more of a portfolio as the pages, bound together, slip right out, not attached anymore. Some repair work was done on this book long ago, not particularly skillful work especially at the spine. Pages patched up, mostly at the start, and some newer endpapers. Missing the main title page, there is a title page further in, two books bound as one - volume begins with a lengthy index (heavily repaired), a few prefaces, then p.1 is the beginning of the monthly almanac with small woodcuts. Missing p.81-p.84, p.151-p.155, p.385/6, & p.395/6, ends properly on p.516 then comes a title page and new pagination ending on p.142. Some browning, toning, staining, and worn edges. 4 x 7 inches.

      CALENDRIER PERPÉTUEL – ÉSOTÉRISME – HABITANTS DE LA LUNE.

      Grande affiche imprimée à Amiens par Caron-Vitet.

      Rare et curieux « calendrier perpétuel » qui, outre l’indication des foires du royaume, du calendrier des saints, des phases de la lune, de la table des fêtes mobiles, présente une rubrique de « prédictions » pour l’année 1836 prévoyant un tremblement de terre « dont les effets seront terribles », la chute momentanée du commerce, etc. « Pour plus de détails, consultez les prédictions de chaque mois dans les Almanachs d’Amiens, on peut y ajouter une espèce de confiance, celles annoncées en 1833, 1834 et 1835 se sont réalisées en totalité ». Figure également une rubrique indiquant une bien étrange « découverte intéressante », d’un monde habité sur la lune. « Le savant M. Herschel, astronome au Cap de Bonne-Espérance, après avoir passé plus de 20 ans à construire un télescope de dimension extraordinaire, et des tubes de 4 pieds de diamètre, et d’une longueur prodigieuse, a aperçu dans la Lune : une montagne couverte de coquelicots ; une forêt de beaux sapins ; de magnifiques sites et de très jolis paysages : d’innombrables colonnes en cristal, avec de très beaux chapiteaux ; des troupeaux de bœufs, de moutons, de chèvres ; une église et finalement des hommes et des femmes pourvus d’ailes depuis les épaules jusqu’aux talons » .

    The biggest technology failures of 2019 - MIT Technology Review

    Technology Review be without our annual list of the year’s sorriest tech fails?

    This year’s list includes the deadly, the dishonest, and the simply daft. Read

    Boeing’s out-of-control autopilot
    First one brand-new 737 Max Boeing plane, Lion Air Flight 510, crashed shortly after takeoff. Then another did the same. Everyone aboard died. In each case, pilots had struggled against an autopilot system that took over and plunged the planes to their doom.

    Fake food computer
    The MIT Media Lab has been called the “future factory”—but its “food computer” likely won’t be part of it.

    In a 2015 TED Talk that gathered 1.8 million views, architect Caleb Harper introduced hydroponic boxes stuffed with electronics and AI, which he said would measure millions of combinations of light, temperature, and humidity. His Open Agriculture project, he said, was pioneering “cyber agriculture.”

    Really? The food computer, it turns out, was nothing more than a glorified grow box that didn’t work very well. But by fertilizing the project with buzzwords—“climate hacking,” “open source,” “microbiome”—the Media Lab kept winning attention and funding for it. Claims for the contraption reached an absurd apex in April, when Harper said “machine learning” had been employed to grow basil that an MIT news release called “likely more delicious” than any ever tasted.

    In September, workers stepped forward to blow the whistle, telling the media about fake photo shoots (the plants were purchased), smoke-and-mirror tactics, and environmental violations. By October, MIT officials had “halted most of the work” by the OpenAg group, according to the Boston Globe.

    Genetic gaydar
    Within weeks of a major study identifying genes associated with homosexual behavior, a programmer had launched an app called “How Gay Are You?”

    For $5.50, the app purported to use those research findings to calculate the gayness level of anyone, using results from a DNA test like those sold by 23andMe.

    Controversy ensued. Was the app a “dangerous mischaracterization” of science or did it accurately underscore the main point, which is that there’s no one gene for being gay? Alternatively, did it show that the original research project to try to explain homosexual behavior was ill conceived?

    The gaydar app is now gone (it didn’t survive the controversy), but the promise—or the problem—of genetic predictions isn’t going away. Gene scientists have new ways to link small genetic differences not only to a person’s risk of disease, but to traits like height, intelligence, or earning potential.

    Space stowaways
    This year, an Israeli company launched that country’s first lunar lander, which unfortunately crash-landed on the moon in April. Luckily, no one was onboard. Unfortunately, something was.

    It turned out that a US nonprofit called Arch Mission Foundation had secretly added to the mission payload a capsule full of tardigrades, or water bears. The microscopic, eight-legged creatures can survive in a dormant state through harsh conditions, and maybe even on the moon.

    The concept of planetary protection is the idea that we shouldn’t pollute other worlds with earthly life. There’s the worry over contamination, and what’s more, if you do discover life outside of orbit, you’d like to be sure you didn’t put it there.

    Without some water, the tardigrades aren’t likely to revive and spread. Still, the episode shows that today’s honor system might not be enough to ensure planetary protection.

    Why did Arch do it? The foundation’s mission is to create a backup of planet Earth, and so it tests out technologies for long-lasting archives, like securing information in DNA strands or encapsulating insects in artificial amber. Its payload on the Israeli mission included nickel sheets nanopatterned with 60,000 pages of Wikipedia and other texts.
    In a last-minute switch-up, Arch and its cofounder Nova Spivack decided to add some human hair, blood cells, and thousands of tardigrades. “We didn’t tell them we were putting life in this thing,” Spivack said. “We just decided to take the risk.”

    Apple’s biased credit card
    Why would a wealthy tech entrepreneur get a credit limit 10 times as high his wife’s on the new Apple Card, even though their assets are held in common? When one complained, a rep told him, “It’s just the algorithm.” A sexist algorithm! Steve Wozniak, Apple’s cofounder, said it happened to his wife, too. But what’s the program, and what does it do? Apple and Goldman Sachs, the bank backing the card, didn’t say. And that’s the problem. Computerized bias exists, but it’s hard to hold anyone, or anything, accountable. Facebook this year reached a settlement to stop letting advertisers intentionally discriminate in housing and job ads, yet research shows that unseen algorithms are still skewing results. Ads for taxi drivers on Facebook were automatically shown more often to minorities, and supermarket jobs to women.

      Tout à fait d’accord, cette affaire des tardigrades n’a absolument pas reçu les opprobres médiatiques qui auraient été nécessaires.
