One of the steps within the scope of the project was to assemble the rockets that will carry the shuttle that will be used by the crew. NASA engineers combined the main rocket and side rockets for the first time at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.

Main Rocket is Exactly 65 Meters

The length of the main rocket to be used in the Artemis mission is 65 meters, while the two side rockets each have a length of 54 meters. These side rockets will be used as boosters. The process of assembling the rockets was completed on Friday.

This year’s Artemis 1 missions will have no crew. Engineers will conduct integrated tests of both the SLS rockets and the Orion capsule before embarking on manned missions.

The Artemis 2 mission will be a test flight involving astronauts. This mission will be accomplished in 2022. When we come to 2023, astronauts will be taken to the Moon with the Artemis 3 mission. This flight will be repeated in the following years.

The last manned flight was in 1972.

With the Artemis 3 mission, NASA will have returned to the Moon after a period of close to 51 years. Finally, on December 7, 1972, a manned flight to the Moon was carried out as part of the Apollo mission. Artemis, who gave the current flight its name, was also the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology.

In recent years, the Moon has once again become important for space studies. Recently, China also sent a vehicle to the dark side of the Moon and even experimented with growing a plant on the Moon.
