NASA, European Space Agency, and other agencies have been forced to reschedule many of their services Covid-19 disease caused a technical delay. In 2022, a rush for space exploration to return to see the rover to Red Planet, a satellite sent to study Jupiter and its moon, and a telescope set up in space to investigate evidence of black matter and black energy. In the meantime, back to Earth, four volunteers will spend 12 months living compared to Mars.

The 3D printed space on which Mars’ life will be modeled will sprout from the Texan desert in 2022. Designed by architects Bjarke Ingels Group and state-of-the-art ICON architects in collaboration with NASA, the goal is to “prepare humans for human habitation. Mars.” Four workers will be working on a 158-square-meter site, facing a number of challenges such as equipment failure and environmental problems. The collected data will inform NASA’s actual preparation.
The 2022 version of the ExoMars program (delayed since 2020) will send Rosalind Franklin connected to the UK with the Russian Kazachok platform on Red Planet. The European Space Agency (ESA) will use the Proton rocket to launch a lander and rover at the end of September 2022, arriving on Mars in June 2023, after a nine-month voyage. ExoMars rover will search the surface of the Martian to search for evidence of past lives, collect underground samples and drills and place them in the Analytical Laboratory Drawer. Next, his “Pasteur” tools will analyze the soil to find biosignatures. ExoMars will be the first Martian project to combine off-road potential with in-depth groundwater training.
Shown here is Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), which will launch in 2022 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. The goal is to study three months of Jupiter, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europe to understand if it is a place to live for a lifetime. These three months are thought to be liquid, but we do not know until JUICE enters Jupiter’s path in 2031. In 2032 it will be the first spacecraft and not Earth when it enters Ganymede’s path.
The Euclid infrared space telescope will help scientists to better understand black matter and black energy by accurately measuring the shape of galaxies farther away from the earth. As we do so, it will help us to understand why the growth of the universe is so rapid and what causes it. Established from Guiana Space Center in
Soyuz ST-B rocket in the second half of 2022, Euclid landed on the road at L2 Lagrange Point, 1.5 million miles from Earth.
