At 9:15 a.m. Friday morning, the nearly 100-meter rocket arrived at the launch site in Cape Canaveral. Numerous tests are still on the menu before the system can be tested unmanned for the first time in May at the earliest.
The ‘Artemis’ mission aimed to land American astronauts on the moon again by 2024 for the first time in nearly 50 years. Due to various delays, this mission has been postponed until 2025 at the earliest. The mission is to put four astronauts into orbit using the Orion capsule, after which two of them will transfer to a SpaceX lander for the final trajectory to the moon. .
“The Artemis generation is preparing to reach new frontiers,” NASA’s Bill Nelson said. “This generation will return astronauts to the moon and this time we will land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface to do groundbreaking science,” he said. “NASA’s Artemis program will pave the way for humanity’s great leap into future missions to Mars.”
