English term or phrase: "We will create a substantial plume..."
Je ne comprends pas du tout l'expression ci-dessus dans la phrase complète:
"We will create a substantial plume and excavate some sample material some of which we think will be water ice."
Il s'agit toujours de l'exploration de la lune.
Un grand merci!

nous allons former un gigantesque panache
Explanation:
Les scientifiques s'attendent à ce que l'étage Edus provoque un impact dégageant quelque 2000 kg d'énergie cinétique et provoque la formation d'un gigantesque panache de poussière s'étirant sur plus de 70 km d'altitude. Ce panache sera visible depuis la Terre pendant plusieurs jours ce qui doit permettre d'étudier en détail sa composition de façon à déterminer la présence d'eau.
