What is the moon, now Mars, NASA will cancel the Artemis Mission?
Washington:
Is NASA still on the Moon, or its next big leap will mean going directly to Mars mission? This question is arising because NASA is seen pulling back from its ambitious mission ‘Artemis Mission’. The Artemis Mission is to settled a human settlement on the moon. Late on Wednesday, NASA announced the retirement of a sudden long -standing astronomer gym free, his last day in NASA. After about 30 years, why Jim Free was suddenly retired from NASA, no reason has been given. Jim Free has been a supporter of Artemis Mission. Is this the reason that Jim Free has now been made free from NASA?
Speculation after the resignation of a senior NASA officer
There is speculation that the Trump administration can reduce or cancel NASA’s Artemis Mission after a large space scientist’s departure and Boeing’s plan to expel hundreds of employees working on his moon rocket. However, the Artemis Mission was conceived during the first term of President Donald Trump. Now it seems that he is thinking about going to Mars directly by ignoring his plan to go to the moon. It is believed that President Trump has planned the world’s richest person and SpaceX owner Alan Musk and placing the moon mission Mangal.
Will America stop Artemis Mission?
Alan Musk’s SpaceX is placing heavy bets on its prototype starship rocket for future Mars mission. Trump has also chosen private astronaut and e-payment billionaire Jered Issamen as his next NASA chief, who is close to Allen Musk, who has flew into space twice with SpaceX. NASA’s Artemis Mission seems to be missing behind due to Alan Mask’s mission Mars. However, no official information has been given to shut down the Artemis mission, but the indication is being found that America will now fly for Mars, not the moon.
Some special things related to Artemis Mission
The Artemis Mission is named after Artemis, the goddess of the moon of Greek mythology.
The Artemis-3 mission will have a woman and a male among astronauts landing on the moon.
During this mission, scientists are searching for water ice reserves on the moon.
NASA is also working on the technique of making 3D-printed housing on the moon.
Boeing can also be a big trim in the US Chandrayaan mission
If the speed of the Artemis Mission is being reduced, then what will happen to the team of Boeing, which is engaged in this mission? Boeing told employees this month that he could take out 400 jobs from the ‘Space Launch System (SLS) rocket program’ as per the ‘Artemis Mission’s change and cost expectation. The aerospace giant told news agency AFP, “As per the rules, the affected employees will need to issue 60 days notices of involuntary trimming in the coming weeks.”
India’s moon mission ‘Chandrayaan’
Moon Mission of India: Chandrayaan Mission is the moon mission of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This is a series of unmanned moon missions, in which
- Chandrayaan-1, Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 include. India has jumped high in space through Chandrayaan.
- Chandrayaan-1 was launched in the year 2008, the mission was the first revolving Indian spacecraft of the moon. It collected the surface pictures and data of the moon and discovered water molecules on the moon.
- Chandrayaan-2 was launched in 2019, this mission included a lander and rover. However, the soft landing of the lander could not succeed, the orbiter entered the moon’s orbit and sent significant data.
- Chandrayaan-3 launched in 2023, this mission included a lander and rover. The lander successfully made a soft landing on the moon and collected the data by moving on the surface of the rover moon. This proved to be a highly successful mission, when Vikram’s engines were re -activated in September 2023. Then he lifted about 40 cm above the surface of the moon and landed again 30–40 cm away from his original landing point. This successful experiment is going to be very useful in future.
China’s moon mission ‘Chang E’
China has named its moon mission as ‘Chang E’. This is an ambitious campaign of China for search on the moon. The program includes both unmanned and manned missions. China is the third country to land on the moon and run the rover. At the same time, China is the third country to collect samples from the moon and bring them back to Earth.
- Chang E-1 was launched in the year 2007, the mission was the first circumambulation of the moon.
- Chang E-2 was launched in the year 2010, this mission made a more detailed map of the moon’s surface and selected the landing site for the Chang E-3 mission.
- Chang E-3 was launched in the year 2013, this mission launched a lander and rover on the moon.
- Chang E-4 was launched in the year 2019, the mission became the first spacecraft to land on the remote part of the moon.
- Chang E-5 was launched in the year 2020, this mission collected samples from the moon and brought them to Earth.
- Chang E-6 was launched in 2024, which aims to collect samples from the southern pole of the moon.
Russia’s moon mission ‘Luna’
The name of Russia’s Moon Mission is ‘Luna’. Russia has an ambitious program for search on the moon. The program includes both unmanned and manned missions. Russia is the second country to reach the moon. Russia is planning to send manned missions on the moon in future and create a permanent base on the moon.
- Luna 1- Russia launched its moon mission Luna in 1959, the first spacecraft to reach the Mission Moon.
- Luna 2- Launa-2 Mission launched in the year 1959 was the first Russian spacecraft to reach the surface of the moon.
- Luna 9- The Luna-9 was the first Russian spacecraft to make a soft landing on the Luna-9 mission moon in 1966.
- Luna was launched in 16– 1970, the first mission to collect samples from the Moon and bring them back to Earth.
- Luna was launched in 25–2023, the mission was about to land on the southern pole of the moon, but it crashed.
Why ‘Moon Race’ is held in many countries including America, China
NASA’s Artemis Mission of billions of dollars is not just about sending astronauts to the moon. It is also about making way for mining works. China is also on this path. For a long time, all this ‘lunar race’ was going on. In this, private companies are working to find out how to remove the resources of the moon and sell it to the governments? At the moment, all materials for space search are sent from the Earth, making essential commodities such as water and fuel to be highly expensive. When one liter of water reaches the moon, its price is more than gold. But by converting the water ice on the moon into hydrogen and oxygen, we can fill the fuel in the spacecraft. Due to this, travel going into the depths of space, especially the journeys going to Mars can be more possible. At the same time, there is a stock of rare metals used in the Earth on the moon, which is necessary for technology like smartphone. This also means that mining on the moon can reduce the pressure on the declining reserves of the earth.
