Next Human To Moon By 2024: NASA's Artemis Mission

 

What is Artemis Program?

With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative  new technologies, capabilities, and business approaches needed for future exploration including Mars to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.  Then, They will use what they learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.

 

The Procedure

NASA’s powerful new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), will send astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft nearly a quarter million miles from Earth to lunar orbit. Astronauts will dock Orion at the Gateway and transfer to a human landing system for expeditions to the surface of the Moon. They will return to the orbital outpost to board Orion again before returning safely to Earth.

 

How many missions have included in this program?

The agency will fly two missions around the Moon to test its deep space exploration systems. NASA is working toward launching Artemis I, an uncrewed flight to test the SLS and Orion spacecraft together, followed by the Artemis II mission, the first SLS and Orion test flight with crew. NASA will land astronauts on the Moon by 2024 on the Artemis III mission and about once a year thereafter. 

 

What is the motive? 

👉Find and use water and other critical resources needed for long-term exploration.

 

👉Investigate the Moon’s mysteries and learn more about our home planet and the universe.

 

👉Learn how to live and operate on the surface of another celestial body where astronauts are just three days from home.

 

👉Prove the technologies They need before sending astronauts on missions to Mars, which can take up to three years round trip.
