NASA and SpaceX will work together to conduct a second manned landing on the moon.
NASA has chosen SpaceX to carry out its second Artemis mission, which will involve landing astronauts on the surface of the moon.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States of America and Elon Musk’s SpaceX has agreed to collaborate on a second lunar landing mission before the end of the decade.
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to participate in the organization’s first journey to the moon in half a century, which will use a modified version of the Starship spaceship that is now being developed The first manned mission to land on the moon might take place in 2025, and the second might take place in 2027.
The objective of the uncrewed Artemis 1 mission NASA is to test the technologies of a spaceflight system that will be prepared in 2024 to take astronauts to the lunar surface as part of the Artemis 2 mission. It is anticipated that Artemis 3, which will take place in 2025 and utilize Space X’s spaceship, would successfully land two humans on the moon. This will be followed by Artemis 4, which will take place two years later.
There have been no complete tests of SpaceX’s spaceship, which is intended to be launched into orbit by the company’s Super Heavy rocket. While the Lunar Gateway space station, which is going to be constructed by NASA, will serve as a home and workplace for astronauts while they are on extended missions, In addition, the space agency has lofty goals of constructing a permanent facility on the lunar surface, which would be used for extended missions and crew stays.
“With multiple planned landers, from SpaceX and future partners, NASA will be better positioned to accomplish the missions of tomorrow,” said Bill Nelson, the administrator of NASA. “These missions include conducting more science on the surface of the moon than ever before and preparing for crewed missions to Mars.”
