NASA Returns to the Moon by Elliana Zolper
This year, NASA has planned on returning humans into the moon's orbit in the Artemis ll Aircraft. This will be the first time since the ending of the first Apollo program in 1972 that NASA has sent people into the orbit of the moon. NASA has stated that the purpose of this exploration of the moon is to take humans a step further to establish a presence on the moon. They also wanted to test other mechanisms and their capabilities for future landings.
They have decided that this launch will take place in December and they are planning on it being a ten-day orbit. Other countries like Canada have contributed to this landing and they also play an important role. This is because, with their help, NASA can divide technology and costs for this mission. Also with Canada's help, the U.S. will be able to continue to provide international leadership.
The mission will be carried out with twelve people, but only four astronauts will be able to walk on the moon's surface. Among these are the first female and black astronauts to walk on the moon. The four names of these astronauts are as follows: Reid Wise Men (commander), Victor Glover (Pilot), Christina Koch (specialist), and Jeremy Hansen (specialist). Three out of the four astronauts have already flown through space, making them highly experienced. Three of them also started their careers as military pilots. Unlike in the 60s and 70s Apollo Program, NASA has been building a politically sustainable lunar program of diverse people and cultures.
When they set launch to the moon, they will take the Orion Capsule in a one-way pass on the side of the moon. While flying in space, they will be able to test their new communication system, which will (hopefully) allow for easier communication for the sending of more data over these long distances.
