NASA unveiled its plan to return to the Silver Globe and explore its surface.
The entire program will be implemented throughout the 1920s and will start as early as 2024.
The Lunar Space Port, the successor to the International Space Station, will be, along with the lunar bases, a transfer point for flights and exploration of Mars. A few days ago we had the opportunity to see the project of the first joint lunar base of China and Russia, and now it's time for the USA.
Interestingly, NASA has slightly more ambitious plans, as it plans to create fuel stations in space that will allow fueling rockets and spacecraft on flights between the Earth and the Moon, the Moon and Mars, and the Earth and Venus.
Of course, American companies, dynamically developing in the private sector of the space industry, will participate in the entire Artemis program.
We are talking about SpaceX, Blue Origin and others. From the graphics published by NASA we can learn that the unmanned flight to Mars is planned around 2026-2028 and will probably be carried out using the Starship rocket from SpaceX, although the use of the rocket is also possible.
Space Launch System. Returning to the Moon.
The agency plans to explore the surface with mobile vehicles, which will also act as a habitat for astronauts.
NASA has been testing them for many years, but only now will they finally make real use of them.
The vehicles will enable fast and safe movement over long distances.
The habitats are designed to allow people to stay on the moon for up to 45 days, which is crucial as a space mining program is involved.
Americans do not return there for entertainment, but want to extract valuable raw materials that can be used not only for the purposes of permanent functioning there, but also for the creation of a new cosmic civilization.
It is probably high time for us to become an interplanetary civilization and populate the abyss of the solar system. NASA also revealed that during the first human landing on the moon in the 21st century, two people will come to the surface.
Although it is still unknown who will be honored, it is certain that the first woman will come to the surface.
The pair of astronauts will remain afloat for almost 7 days and will conduct important research on this fascinating object.
Their exploration is to be assisted by an advanced rover, and it is not certain where the landing will take place, but it is said to be around the Moon's south pole (most likely Shackleton's crater).
There are shaded craters in which water ice is accumulated.
As you probably guessed, astronauts will take samples of it and try to use water, oxygen and hydrogen for the purposes of their operation there. NASA is also planning another astronaut mission, which is to take place around 2028. Then an even larger lander is to land on the surface, and
there will already be four people on board.
The mission is to last up to two weeks.
Of course, the agency intends to send research missions to the moon with intelligent robots and machines throughout the entire 1920s.
They will build the first colony on a foreign object for all mankind.
