NASA Orion Spacecraft returns to Earth; completes Artemis I flight test mission

[ad_1] NASA's Orion spacecraft has returned to planet Earth after completing the Artemis I flight test. Check details here. Sunday, December 11 was a big day for NASA as its Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after completing the Artemis I flight test. Informing about the same NASA said in a release, "NASA's Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 9:40 a.m. PST 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 Kennedy Space Center i...

Artemis I launched! Captures stunning image of Earth

[ad_1] NASA has released a stunning image of Earth captured by the Artemis I spacecraft on its way towards the Moon. After numerous delays, NASA has finally launched its Artemis I mission yesterday, November 16 from the Kennedy Space Center. NASA's first attempt to launch the Orion spacecraft resulted in failure due to a malfunction in the core stage of one of the four RS-25 engines of the Space Launch System (SLS). Additionally, engineers also detected a “leak” in the inner tank of the upper stage. There was a visible build-up of ice and frost and a trail of vapour could be seen which led to NASA scrubbing the launch.After yesterday's successful launch, the Orion spacecraft captured a breathtaking image of Earth while leaving the planet's atmosphere. NASA shared the image on the Orio...

NASA Moon Mission: Blastoff, crew, trajectory to trip home

[ad_1] NASA's Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to take off on Wednesday, is a 25-and-a-half day voyage beyond the far side of the Moon and back. NASA's Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to take off on Wednesday, is a 25-and-a-half day voyage beyond the far side of the Moon and back.The meticulously choreographed uncrewed flight should yield spectacular images as well as valuable scientific data. - Blastoff -The giant Space Launch System rocket will make its maiden flight from Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Its four RS-25 engines, with two white boosters on either side, will produce 8.8 million pounds (39 meganewtons) of thrust -- 15 percent more than the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket.After two minutes, the thrusters will fall back into the Atlantic Ocean.After eight ...

From Artemis I to Mars missions; NASA’s roadmap for the future

[ad_1] NASA has released its list of objectives as a part of its Moon to Mars planning for the future. Here’s what the future holds for the space agency. NASA on Tuesday released its revised Moon to Mars objectives which will serve as a roadmap for future missions. The space agency is beginning with the Artemis I mission which is set to launch at the end of this month after two failed launch attempts. According to the NASA blog, the space agency is calling for inputs from industry, experts, academia, stakeholders and international communities to further improve its objectives for deep space travel.NASA's Artemis missions will provide a way for the space agency to prepare astronauts for future Mars missions. The Artemis progra...

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. Now, the space agency has rescheduled the mission altogether.The recent fiascos have caused a huge amount...
