NASA starts preparations for Artemis going to the moon

Preparations have begun for Artemis I to be launched next year. In this order, NASA has placed the first piece of the space launch system on the mobile launcher. Artemis I will be a non-crew flight that will take the SLS rocket and Orion Spacecraft to the moon. Stacking operations started on 19 November.

The Solid Rocket Booster is the first component of the SLS rocket to be assembled and will support the remaining rocket pieces and the Orion spacecraft. Over the next few weeks, workers will have to use a crane that can weigh 325 tons so that it can carefully place the remaining pieces one by one on a 380-foot-long mobile launcher.

On Artemis II, Orion would take astronauts to the moon and bring them back. After this, Artemis III will land the first female and second male astronaut on the lunar surface in 2024. Through this mission, discovery and technology testing on the lunar surfaces is to be done. The SLS and the Orion are crucial to NASA, sent for an in-depth search on the lunar surface.

Let us know that astronauts in the Orion spacecraft will be able to live and work around the moon as well as to be able to campaign on the lunar surface. The Orion spacecraft is a small orbital orbiting around the moon’s orbit.

Explain that there has also been an agreement between NASA and the European Space Agency for cooperation in the Artemis mission. Under this, the issue of the inclusion of international partners for the extensive exploration of the Moon by the US is important. Also, it is necessary for manned missions to Mars in future. Each booster is equal to half the length of the football field and after assembling these will be equivalent to several jumbo commercial airlines simultaneously.
