Artemis Program

China’s Chang'e 7 moon mission is under process. It plans to land on the south pole of the moon and make detailed surveys of that region.（Video credit: NASA）

When the Apollo astronauts first landed on the Moon, they couldn’t go far on foot. That’s why the three final missions were equipped with Lunar Roving Vehicles, or Moon buggies, which allowed the astronauts to cover much more ground and do more science. Now that NASA is returning to the Moon by 2024 as part of its Artemis Program, it’s considering a fleet of new vehicles that will help astronauts roam far and wide across the surface of the Moon. 60 fps Apollo Videos from Dutchsteammachine https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGEIYuo_HbUR6GhFLeEkPA Want to see this video early?

Teams at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, are preparing to ship a key piece of hardware to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for the first Artemis launch to the Moon. The launch vehicle stage adapter (LVSA) connects the upper stage and core stage of the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. While the larger stages of the SLS rocket are manufactured at other NASA facilities, the LVSA flight hardware is produced exclusively at Marshall by Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville. For more information about SLS, visit https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/index.html.

After almost 50 years since the Apollo Moon landing missions ended, NASA announced that they’re going to return to the surface of the Moon with their Artemis mission, ideally taking the first lunar footsteps in 2024. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine asked for additional funding to achieve this goal, and the other branches of government haven’t been as enthusiastic about this plan. So don’t be surprised if the landing date slips to 2028 or even farther. But NASA is moving forward on its architecture to return humans to the Moon, from its launch rocket to the entire method of getting astronauts down to the surface. Exactly which rockets, modules and landing systems that will be used are still getting worked out, with different options still getting considered.

It’s common knowledge that the Moon is a cratered ball of rock. Stunning as it is in the night sky or in photographs taken from orbit the landscape is barren, grey, dusty and dark. Are there other things to be found than meets the eye? Moon scientist Alexandre Meurisse explains which resources can be found on the Moon.

With NASA’s Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and modern Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) launch facilities, we are in the midst of a singular and unifying propose that is making history. By 2024, the Artemis generation is returning to the Moon to kick up the dust of the lunar surface. And that goal will serve to organize the very best of our workforce energies and skills. With the help of our commercial partners, the journey to deep space has already begun, and because of them, we will stay. #NASAORION #Space
