Like other countries of the world, the United States itself has started taking a keen interest in recolonizing the moon and under this has started the project called Artemis. Now the latest news is that NASA has given final approval for three space vehicles that will take man to the moon.
According to the announcement of NASA, Blue Origin, Dianetics and SpaceX companies will make these rides and a total of 967 million dollars will be given for this. With this money, these three companies will build a lunar lander.
On this occasion, NASA chief Jim Bridenstine said in a press conference on April 30 that the United States has not been to the moon since 1972 and this is the last attempt that we want to go to the moon.
Each company will then develop its own ride. The Blue Origin company will either send it to the moon with its New Glenn rocket or the United Alliance will place the lander on the Vulcan rocket.
However, the Dynatex company will send its lander to the moon using a Vulcan rocket. Under the contract, SpaceX will build the Starship spacecraft and send it to the moon using its own super-heavy rocket.
“We want to see the effectiveness of American industries and how they ultimately make this goal possible,” said Lisa Watson-Morgan, a NASA expert.
However, remember that the technology and innovations of the three companies are also different. Blue Origin’s lander has three parts. In this, the lander will be lowered from the lower orbit of the moon. After that there are two more stages from which this mission will return. But the technology of Dynatex and SpaceX has completely managed to land a spacecraft on the moon, fly back and bring it back to Earth in one go. But still all these technologies have to prove their usefulness.
NASA has named this mission to reach the moon as Artemis, under which the first passenger will be landed on the moon by 2024. One vehicle or lander will be central to the project, while two landers will perform additional missions.
