NASA Targets Artemis 1 Moon Mission Late August

Jakarta: NASA is preparing for an aggressive launch for its Aremis 1 Moon mission after a successful test run of the SLS rocket refueling last June 20, which will take the flight into space.

In an interview with Ars TechnicaJim Free, associate administrator with NASA’s Exploration Systems Development program, said this week the agency designated August 23 to September 6 as the launch time window for the Artemis 1 mission.

As a reminder, NASA recently announced that the earliest time to launch Artemis 1 into space after a successful SLS refueling test is between July 26 and August 10.

Instead, NASA chose the second earliest available launch time window. Before flight can take place, technicians must complete final preparations on the SLS rocket, including replacing the seals that caused the hydrogen leak in the June 20 test.

NASA began shipping the SLS back to the Kennedy Space Center Vehicle Assembly Building, where staff will continue adjustments to the launch vehicle, on July 1. Once Artemis 1 finally takes off, this mission will take the unmanned Orion module on a journey around the Moon.

The trip aims to study how flight can affect the human body. Later Artemis II will carry four astronauts to Earth’s satellite, ahead of the planned moon landing in the second half of the decade.

Previously, Russia stressed that it would stop cooperation with other countries on the International Space Station until the sanctions imposed on its country were lifted. This information was conveyed by the Head of the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) Dmitry Rogozin via a thread on Twitter.

Rogozin emphasized that the restoration of normal relations between partners on the ISS and other projects is possible only with the complete and unconditional lifting of illegal sanctions.

Meanwhile, NASA announced that the International Space Station (ISS) will be part of the ocean called Point Nemo.

NASA says the ISS will continue to operate until 2030 ends, before being submerged into the Pacific Ocean in early 2031. For information, Point Nemo is the deepest point on Earth.
