The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has intensified its work on Artemis, its long-term project that aims to send human beings to the Moon. Initially, the project was intended to last for 6 years. An important threshold has been crossed for the program, which has undergone various changes as it is also the subject of some political issues.
NASA introduces the Artemis 1 Space Launch System (SLS) at Kennedy Space Center
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has taken the first concrete step for the Artemis mission, which has gone through various processes. NASA, which aimed to start the project until 2028 in the first stage, would carry out the first human landing on the Moon in 2024 by pushing its target 4 years earlier with the pressures of the then President Donald Trump. This early launch, however, was hit by many hurdles. Despite everything, the first step for the project has been taken.
NASA has pressed the button for the first project, which consists of 3 stages. NASA, which wants to start the first step of the Artemis mission in May, has started to take its first steps. The institution introduced the Artemis 1 Space Launch System (SLS) to the world at Kennedy Space Center.
Artemis 1, the first step of the long-term project, is a pioneer for the mission in general. This first step will be undertaken with the Artemis 2 program to test rockets and systems before a crewed flight into lunar orbit. If the second step is successful, a crewed landing will be made on the Moon surface with Artemis 3, which is postponed to 2025.
NASA left some problems with the system it will introduce. So much so that he faced accusations that the process of selecting SpaceX to develop the landing system was unfair. The Blue Origin company of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who made the accusation, lost its legal battle. After all this eventful process, the first steps of the project were taken.
