All about Nasa Artemis mission launch - Nasa is preparing to launch the Artemis mission to the Moon.
The first mission of the US program to return to the moon is scheduled to take off on Monday from Florida. Artemis 1 and its giant rocket will place an unmanned capsule in orbit of the Earth's satellite.
Moon Lens. Fifty years after the last Apollo flight, the Artemis SLS rocket - Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology - is about to take over.
This rocket, the most powerful in the world, is scheduled to make its maiden flight from Florida on Monday, August 29, in order to place a capsule in orbit around the Moon, in order to ensure that it will be able to transport astronauts safely in the future.
Nasa Artemis mission launch
The take-off – to be followed on France 24 – will take place from 14:30 (Paris time). This mission launches the American program to return to the Earth's satellite.
The Artemis program is one of Nasa's top priorities for the coming years and aims to send the first woman and the first person of color to the lunar surface on upcoming missions. Final goal: to allow humans to travel to the planet Mars.
The name Artemis was chosen as an echo of the Apollo program, which took the only twelve men to have ever walked on the Moon, between 1969 and 1972.
The Artemis 1 mission is to test Nasa's new giant rocket, dubbed SLS, and the Orion capsule at its top without a crew, in order to ensure that they will be able to transport astronauts safely in the future. Orion will go into orbit around the Moon before returning to Earth.
Nasa Artemis mission launch schedule
Scheduled for 2024, Artemis 2 will take astronauts to the Moon, but without landing there, as Apollo 8 did. The composition of the crew is to be announced by the end of the year. We already know that a Canadian will be one of them and thus become the first to go into deep space.
The third mission, Artemis 3, can be compared to Apollo 11 because it will be the first of the program to land astronauts on the Moon.
Nasa Artemis mission launch arrival
These will arrive for the first time on the South Pole of the Moon, where the presence of water in the form of ice has been confirmed, and not near the equator as during Apollo.
Artemis 3 is officially scheduled for 2025, but according to an independent public audit, it should actually take place in 2026 "at the earliest". Starting with Artemis 3, Nasa wants to launch about one mission a year.
