☆ NASA delays crewed Artemis moon missions into 2025 as companies navigate challenges
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-09 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

NASA is pushing back the schedule for upcoming missions of its flagship Artemis lunar program by about a year as the agency's contractors work to finish technology needed to return U.S. astronauts to the moon's surface. Artemis 2 — with a four-person crew, which NASA announced last spring — was previously planned to launch in November, while Artemis 3 had been targeting December 2025. The pair of missions are set to follow the uncrewed Artemis I mission that flew in 2022. The Artemis program represents a series of missions with escalating goals, aiming to return astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time since the Apollo era. Nelson's comments confirm reporting by CNN and Reuters that NASA would be pushing out the schedule for the program.

CNN —Mere moments after SpaceX’s Starship system — the most powerful rocket ever built — was lost in a test flight Saturday, a somewhat complicated narrative around the vehicle began to emerge. “What we did today will provide invaluable data to continue rapidly developing Starship,” SpaceX said Saturday in a statement. SpaceX's mega rocket Starship launches for a test flight from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, on Saturday, November 18, 2023. The Starship spacecraft was then able to ignite its own engines and break away from the Super Heavy rocket booster to continue the mission. SpaceX's Starship rocket prototypes are seen at the SpaceX Starbase in Brownsville, Texas, on August 19, 2023.

Two decades before Bluford's flight, Ed Dwight was an Air Force pilot who trained to be the first Black astronaut. Whitney Young of the National Urban League urged Kennedy to push the Air Force to find and train the first Black astronaut. Dwight said the famed pilot felt slighted and not being included in the decision to train a Black astronaut. "All of a sudden we were able to hire astronauts who didn't look like the classic NASA astronaut," Bolden said. During his flight, Glover had a group call with Dwight, Bluford, Bolden, and other Black astronauts.

☆ Why NASA's Artemis program is the only moon-return mission since Apollo to survive 2 successive US presidents and our best chance of actually returning humans to the lunar surface
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Mariel Borowitz | The Conversation | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

The Artemis program marks the first time since the Apollo program that an effort to send humans to the moon has been supported by two successive US presidents. Some, like Japan-based iSpace and US-based Astrobotic, are developing commercial lunar landers and have plans to eventually collect lunar resources, such as water or minerals. Just as the United States is leveraging commercial developments, the US is working with international partners, as well. The United States is also seeking international support for the Artemis Accords, a set of principles for responsible lunar exploration and development. It's worth noting that China's lunar program also emphasizes international engagement.

☆ Lasers on Artemis II will share high-definition video of the moon

CNN —When the crewed Artemis II mission makes its lunar flyby in late 2024, we’ll be able to see video of the moon like never before — and it’s all thanks to lasers. Along for the historic journey to the moon will be the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System, or O2O — making Artemis II the first crewed lunar flight to demonstrate laser communications technology. This illustration depicts the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System sending a laser signal from the Orion spacecraft to Earth. Lasers will be able to send back more data at a quicker rate across longer distances, such as when Orion is flying by the moon during Artemis II. “We are thrilled by the promise laser communications will offer in the coming years,” says Badri Younes, deputy associate administrator and program manager for space communications and navigation at NASA headquarters in a statement.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Monday announced the four astronauts who will fly on the agency's upcoming mission around the moon, currently scheduled for late 2024. Artemis II follows the uncrewed Artemis I mission, which completed a nearly month-long journey around the moon late last year. The Artemis II mission will launch on NASA's Space Launch System rocket, with the Orion capsule carrying the astronauts on a 10-day journey to the moon and back. While Artemis II won't land on the moon, it will make a near pass above the surface and demonstrate the Orion spacecraft's ability to transport people safely.

OTTAWA, April 3 (Reuters) - NASA on Monday said Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen will join a lunar flyby mission expected to take off for the moon in 2024 as part of an expedition that will make the former fighter pilot the first Canadian to explore beyond earth's orbit. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking to reporters in Quebec, said he was extraordinarily excited for Hansen. The mission, Artemis II, will also include the first woman, Christina Koch, and the first African American, Victor Glover, ever assigned as astronauts to a lunar mission. He served as a fighter pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force between 2004 and 2009, before being picked for an astronaut recruitment program by the Canadian Space Agency. The crew members were announced by NASA and the Canadian Space Agency at an event near NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Capsula Crew Dragon s-a desprins de Staţia Spaţială Internaţională la ora prevăzută (20.35 sâmbătă pe coasta americană, 00.35 GMT duminică). „Mulţumesc pentru ospitalitatea voastră, ne revedem pe Pământ”, a spus Michael Hopkins, unul dintre cei patru astronauţi, adresându-se celor rămaşi la bordul Staţiei. Era vorba atunci de primul zbor către Staţia Spaţială Internaţională lansat de Statele Unite de la încetarea navetelor spaţiale în 2011, şi primul asigurat de o companie privată cu astronauţi la bord. Înainte de plecarea Crew-1, Staţia spaţială era locuită de nu mai puţin de 11 persoane.

Capsula a andocat luni, la ora 11:01 PM (04:01 GMT, marţi), la doar 24 de ore de la lansarea de la Centrului Spaţial Kennedy în Florida. NASA speră ca lansarea să marcheze începutul unei serii de zboruri regulate către staţia spaţială de la baze de lansare din Statele Unite. Este al doilea zbor cu echipaj uman asigurat de SpaceX după lansarea istorică a astronauţilor Bob Behnken şi Doug Hurley în luna mai la bordul unei nave spaţiale Crew Dragon, aminteşte DPA. Misiunea Crew-1 a devenit prima care a utilizat modulul certificat Crew Dragon şi racheta Falcon 9 operate de SpaceX.

Israel va trimite un astronaut în spaţiu anul viitor, pentru a doua oară în istoria ţării, au anunţat luni autorităţile israeliene, relatează Xinhua, citat de agerpres.ro.

Cu aproximativ trei luni înainte de zbor, el va începe o serie de antrenamente intensive în Statele Unite, Germania şi Rusia. Primul astronaut al Israelului, Ilan Ramon, şi-a pierdut viaţa într-un accident survenit la reintrarea navetei spaţiale Columbia în atmosfera terestră, în 2003.
