Artemis I performance indicates NASA ready for crewed mission to Moon!

[ad_1] NASA is taking the next big step of sending humans to explore the region near the lunar South Pole. The space research organisation also continues to evaluate data and learn more about the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's debut performance during the agency's November 16 Artemis I launch. "Following an initial data assessment and review that determined the SLS rocket met or exceeded all performance expectations, SLS engineers are now taking a closer look at the Moon rocket's performance to prepare for the first crewed Artemis missions," NASA said. The preliminary post-flight data indicates that all SLS systems performed exceptionally and that the designs are ready to support a crewed flight on Artemis II. The post-flight analysis team will continue reviewing data. ...

Awesome! Earth rising behind the Moon! A miracle? Check how NASA did it

[ad_1] NASA has shared a rare view of Earth rising behind the Moon! Here is how it captured the rare peekaboo moment when Earth popped up behind our Moon. In a rare moment that is simply amazing, NASA captured the Earth and the Moon in a way that seems simply miraculous. NASA has shared an animated video that shows our Earth rising behind the Moon. No miracle this, but simply a bit of science and tech. The image was captured by NASA's Orion spacecraft of the Artemis I mission. NASA also said that the shared video is 900 times the actual speed and has been rotated and cropped. In the video, Earth's disk seems to disappear behind the Moon while it re-emerges from the other side. The video is captured on Day 13 of the Artemis I missions' Orion capsule's 26-day uncrewed mission, that is N...

NASA’s Orion spacecraft returns to Earth after historic Moon mission

[ad_1] NASA's Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday after a record-breaking mission. NASA's Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 9:40 a.m. PST on Sunday after a record-breaking mission, traveling more than 1.4 million miles on a path around the Moon and returning safely to Earth, completing the Artemis I flight test. Splashdown is the final milestone of the Artemis I mission that began with a successful liftoff of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on November 16, from Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over the course of 25.5 days, NASA tested Orion in the harsh environment of deep space before flying astronauts on Artemis II. "The splashdown of the Orion spacecraft - which occurred 5...

NASA’s moon rocket Artemis I ready for another launch attempt

[ad_1] NASA gears up for another attempt to get the Artemis I mission off the ground. Following several repairs amid reports of fuel leaks, NASA's Artemis I mega moon rocket is back on the launchpad on Friday (local time) ahead of the third launch attempt, said officials. The space agency gears up for another attempt to get the Artemis I mission off the ground. The uncrewed test mission is slated for November 14, with a 69-minute launch window that opens at 12:07 a.m. ET. The launch will stream live on NASA's website, reported CNN. Fuel leaks have kept the rocket grounded since August. The rocket had been stowed away for weeks after issues with fuel leaks that thwarted the first two launch attempts and then a hurricane Ian rolled through Florida, forcing the rocket to vacate the ...

NASA says delayed Moon rocket passed fueling test

[ad_1] NASA said Wednesday it had successfully trialed the fueling process for its new Moon rocket. NASA said Wednesday it had successfully trialed the fueling process for its new rocket, after technical issues a few weeks ago halted two attempts to get the behemoth off the ground and headed towards the Moon. "All of the objectives that we set out to do we were able to accomplish today," said Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, launch director of the program called Artemis 1. The unmanned mission hopes to test the new 30-story SLS rocket as well as the unmanned Orion capsule that sits atop it, in preparation for future Moon-bound journeys with humans aboard. The last attempt in early September to launch NASA's most powerful ro...

NASA reschedules Artemis I Mission to Moon after shocking delays and huge waste of money

[ad_1] NASA has reportedly rescheduled the Artemis I Mission after postponing the launch twice due to malfunctions. Here's what the space agency has planned. NASA has attempted to launch the Artemis I Mission twice but both attempts were unsuccessful. The space agency was first scheduled to launch the mission on August 29 from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. However, disaster struck and one of the four RS-25 engines of NASA's new Space Launch System malfunctioned, causing the launch to be scrubbed. NASA made another attempt to launch the Orion spacecraft again on September 3 but it was scrubbed again.
