NASA converts desert sand into glass test rocket for moon mission
NASAThe Kennedy Space Center has, since 1973,moonsas thespace agency prepares to launch Artemis I. 17} We were able to see the first launch of the rocket. Mission on August 29th.
Unmanned test flights of NASA's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft will meet the federal agency's needs before finally returning a manned space boot to the moon by 2025. It is planned as a first step.
Artemis I will be the first test flight for SLS and Orion, ensuring all relevant systems are functioning properly in space before the first humans board Artemis II in 2023. It serves as an important test for
The mission will last 42 days and will include a flyby that will take the rover to just 62 miles from the lunar surface. It will then enter a broad orbit around the Moon for six days to collect flight data.
NASA sent arocket to the launch pad three days before her, with a target for the evening of Tuesday, August 16, prior to launch on August 29. said to start moving
SLS rocket Pushed Back to 9:30 PM EDT
NASA pushed back tonight's SLS and Orion deployments to 9:30 PM EDT. Rockets may occur later than the original 9:00 PM target.
It takes about 10 hours for the SLS to exit the Kennedy Space Center's Rocket Assembly Building (VAB) and slowly crawl toward Launch Complex 39B after workers prepare the rocket for flight. .
The rocket, with the Orion spacecraft on top, will hopefully remain on the launch pad until the successful launch of the Artemis I mission on August 29, or until either of the 2 and 2 backup launch windows. stays at September 5th.
Given that NASA pushed the rollout date back by her three days, tonight's rollout delay is fairly small so far. SLS originally planned for him to stay at the VAB until Friday.
What is NASA's space launch system?
NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) is the largest rocket since the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket.
In its current configuration, known as Block 1, the SLS consists of a core booster field of liquid hydrogen and oxygen flanked by two solid rocket boosters reminiscent of the space shuttle. It is Produces 8.8 million pounds of thrust. That's about 15% more thrust than the Saturn V. When launched on August 29th, the SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever launched.
Together with the Orion spacecraft at its apex, the SLS will be 322 feet tall and capable of lifting over 90 tons into low earth orbit. Together with the SLS Block 1 Upper Stage, known as the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, the launch system will be able to carry a 27-tonne payload to the Moon.
"Plasma" breakthrough could allow humans to live on Mars
Artemis I will be SLS and Orion's first test flight, and all related systems will be properly in space before the first humans board Artemis II in 2023. It serves as an important test to make sure it works. The proving ground for humanity's ability to cross the next space frontier: getting boots on the surface of Mars.
Beyond the technological feats required to physically land on Mars, there are further worrisome limitations. That is, the planet is hostile to sustaining human life. There is no oxygen to breathe, no fuel for the machinery and equipment people need to live in the bleak surroundings.
But a new plasma breakthrough could help humans live on Mars, say the scientists who made it.
Scientists not only process fuels, produce materials and produce the chemicals needed to fertilize plants, but also build systems that help sustain life. I want to

NASA has announced that the Artemis mission will explore a mysterious mound on the moon
Invoke "priority" science missions in the upcoming Artemis Lunar Space Program, including those that explore the astronomical mound.
The American Space Agency sent Luna His Vulcan His Imaging and Spectroscopy His Explorer ( We chose an instrument called Lunar-Vise. Scientists were puzzled because it appeared to have been formed by silica-rich magma with a composition similar to granite.
To form on Earth, researchers sayliquid waterand plate tectonic oceans are required.
Without these "key ingredients" on the Moon, scientists are puzzled as to how these domes formed and evolved over time. increase.

NASA to move big lunar rocket to launch pad three days early Tuesday
NASA sent a giant lunar rocket to the launch pad three days in advance, aiming for the evening of Tuesday, August 16, when the giant rocket launched from the Rocket Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. start moving.
Once NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is on the launch pad, it will launch its currently scheduled Large Rocket at 8:33 a.m. EDT on August 29. preparations for its first test flight begin. NASA hopes that SLS, along with the Orion spacecraft it will carry, will form the basis of the space agency's Artemis Lunar Program, which aims to return humans to the moon by 2025.

NASA will prepare for historic test flight scheduled for August 29
NASA officials outlined the Artemis I lunar mission on August 29
NASA's long-awaited return flight to the Moon could begin as early as August 29, the space agency announced at a press conference earlier this month Did.
"The Saturn Five took us to the Moon half a century ago," said his NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. "Now, as we embark on our first Artemis test flight, we are reminded of the Agency's storied past, but our eyes are on it rather than the immediate future."
Artemis is NASA's new lunar program, with a flight scheduled for August 29 called Artemis I. This is an unmanned test flight to test NASA's giant lunar rocket, the Space Launch System. Or SLS, and the Orion spacecraft will fly to, around, and beyond the Moon before returning to Earth in 42 days.
