“Exploration is in our nature. We started out as bums, and we’re still bums. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready to set sail for the stars.”- Carl Sagan
The time has come for one of the first missions to search for a human presence on the Moon. Artemis I will be the first uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft, NASA’s newest interplanetary spacecraft. Whose goal is to pave the way for the first woman and person of color to land on the Moon.As NASA points out: “The mission will demonstrate our commitment and ability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.»
The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that powers Orion is scheduled to take off in late 2022 from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida.The SLS is a powerful launch vehicle that will be capable of launching the Orion spacecraft to the Moon and propelling it on its way to Mars.
In this way, Orion will make a trip of more than 65,000 kilometers beyond the moon, and then return to Earth and land safely in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast. Validating in this way what is necessary for the exploration of the red planet.
