The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced plans next February for an unmanned lunar mission, Artemis 1, the first step in America’s plan to return humans to the moon.
The agency planned to launch a test flight by the end of this year, but eventually it was postponed to February, with astronauts expected to travel to the moon by 2024. The launch will take place from 12 to 27 February, as announced by Mike Sarafin, Artemis 1 Mission Leader. The mission is expected to last between four and six weeks.
NASA will also deploy small satellites known as CubeSats for experiments and technology demonstrations. Then Artemis 2 is scheduled for 2023, during this mission, a spacecraft with four astronauts will fly around the moon and return to Earth. Artemis 3 will launch in 2024. Then people will again set foot on the moon for the first time since 1972.
NASA confirms that the first non-Caucasian woman and human will be among the astronauts to travel to the moon. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is set to establish a base on the moon and use the lessons learned to plan a mission to Mars in the 2030s.
Artemis 1 pursues several goals: to demonstrate the ability of Orion to return from the moon and operate in deep space, where it is “much colder than in low Earth orbit.”
