The spaceship Orion rocket powered Space Launch System (SLS) de la NASA It has not yet registered optimal performance to execute its journey into space. The North American space agency has been carrying out different tests in which unfortunately there are still flaws.
Therefore, before embarking on its destiny towards the Moon, the NASA wants to test once once more its launch system and the previous security protocol, equipment operation and complete preparation of the personnel that will be in charge of the launch. Artemis I mission.
In this sense, NASA will be activated once once more in the Kennedy Space Centerlocated in Florida for the first days of June, according to reports Aerospace News.
As detailed by the specialized portal in a publication, the agency wants once once more to “demonstrate propellant load capacity in the tanks and perform a full launch countdown before liftoff of the Artemis I mission this summer”.
Artemis Mission
The trips to the Moon that the NASA has been planning in recent years are starting up once more.
Artemis intends, among other things, to put a woman on the Moon for the first time in history. Also, within the already selected 18 astronauts, there are scientists of color who will also set foot on the lunar surface for the first time.
These are simple additional data that are mixed among the truly ambitious goals that NASA has with the Artemis mission. One of them, perhaps the most outstanding of all, is that they intend to colonize the natural satellite by the end of the current decade.
There was a possibility that in this current month the mega cohete Space Launch System (SLS) It will travel towards the orbit of the Moon to circle it for 26 days. After this reconnaissance tour, she would return to the planet. However, there are still obstacles to undertaking this first lunar reconnaissance.
This mission, in its initial stage, it seeks to take the SLS and the Orion spacecraft around the Moon, then drop into the Pacific Ocean off California. She will have no crew.
For the Artemis II Mission, crew will be taken to do the same route around our main natural satellite.
On the Artemis III Mission, the peak of this NASA program, it seeks to take the first woman and the next man to the Moon. Everything will be done on the SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft of the North American aerospace agency.
The SLS is the most powerful rocket ever built, with 98.3 meters high, key to NASA’s Artemis I Mission.
