La NASA refuerza Artemis: añade una misión y perfecciona su arquitectura general

In order to record the national goal of lifting established astronauts to the surface of the Moon and maintaining the United States’ superiority in exploration and discovery, NASA announced on February 27 that it would increase the frequency of its missions with the Artemis program, standardizing the configuration of the space launch system. (SLS, por sus siglas en inglés) and will combine a new mission.
These planes were met during a press conference (in English) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and included an update of the near-future mission, Artemis II.
This update is central to the transportation systems for traveling to Luna. NASA’s updated architecture includes adding a new mission in 2027 to test the system’s capabilities closer to Earth before sending astronauts to the surface of the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years and aiming to log a lunar mission for the year starting this year. Now, the Standard Space Launch System (SLS) and other systems will help NASA send astronauts to explore the Moon for the first time in 2028.
The specific details of the registration of this new study, as well as other architecture updates, will be made known nearby, as the agency is focused on the Artemis II mission, which will allow you to see the Moon later in April and will understand you. capabilities to respond to a high frequency of missions.
Artemis I: NASA carried out a non-tripling test project of the SLS satellite and the space shuttle Orion in November 2022. This mission was carried out for the first time during the satellite launch using new exploration earth systems and evaluating the Orion systems without including the astronauts and the systems. life support criticals planned for the next mission.
Artemis II: This mission will be the first test view with the trip on board the SLS ship and the Orion spacecraft. After a general fuel flow study in February, NASA discovered a helioflow problem on the interim criogenic propulsion stage, and transported the fuel and storage space to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repair. Engineers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are currently working in the SLS group and the Orion spacecraft, which are mounted on it, to tackle the problem that requires your retirement, and the equipment is also improving the time to change batteries and do other work. The launch window opens in April.
The members of the mission are NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who have undertaken a mission lasting approximately 10 days that they will already send to the Moon and to Earth.
Artemis III: NASA has added a new demonstration mission to Earth orbit starting in 2027 to test one or more commercial landing modules from SpaceX and Blue Origin, respectively. This mission will consist of launching the journey aboard Orion on the SLS cohesion to verify the meeting and accompaniment capabilities between Orion and the private commercial ships necessary to take astronauts to the Moon. This verification will be done along the way with one or more suppliers.
Artemis IV: NASA aims for the first exploration of the Artemis Sea to be based on the principles of 2028, which means that the exploration research planned from the middle of 2025. After the launch, the tripulation will be transferred to a commercial lunar landing module for your transport to the surface of the Moon. The preparation of the Earth module will determine what will safely provide leverage to the surface and return Orion to lunar orbit, before triple regression into Orion’s edge home, to improve security in the Pacific Ocean.
It will be used using means to standardize SLS cohesion for the Artemis IV mission. With this architectural study, NASA evaluated alternative options for the second stage of cohesion. The criogenic propulsion stage temporarily used for the first three missions will be replaced by a new second stage, and the agency did not use the upper exploration stage of the Lanzador Móvil 2 because the development of ambos suffered setbacks.
Artemis V: Using the standard configuration of the SLS network, NASA anticipates that the launch of this mission to the lunar surface will occur in late 2028 and, from then on, will have future missions approximately once a year. It is also hoped that in this mission NASA will begin to build its lunar base.
NASA continued to refine its mission architecture plans, and the agency wanted to know more information about its strategy for lunar exploration and travel assignments in the future.
As part of a golden school of innovation and exploration, NASA will send Artemis astronauts on progressively more difficult missions to explore more regions of the Moon for scientific discoveries and economic benefits, and to use our developing space programs to send the bases for the first triple missions to Marte.
