Earth’s orbit and then do a big step

“It’s really going to be very important for us to learn a little bit beyond our when we go to Mars,” Hu told the BBC. “And the Artemis missions enable us to have a sustainable platform and transportation system that allows us to learn how to operate in that deep space environment.”

The current Artemis I mission – the key to making all of this happen – is going well, he told the outlet.

On Monday, the Orion spacecraft made its closest fly-by of the moon, getting to about 80 miles above its surface at more than 5,100 miles per hour, according to NASA. The craft has just one more maneuver to enter the distant retrograde orbit of the moon, which it’s expected to perform on Friday.

All of this is being done with the ultimate goal of trying to provide the “foundation” for life in space, Hu said.

“These are the stepping stones that hopefully will allow this buy phone number list future capability,” he said. “…and give those opportunities an option for our kids and our grandkids and their kids.”

Nasa’s Artemis spacecraft set to reach the Moon

Nearly five days after its sky-lighting launch, NASA’s unpiloted Orion crew capsule closed in on the moon Sunday, on course for a critical rocket firing and lunar flyby Monday to whip the craft into a distant orbit. The goal is to pave the way toward a piloted flight around the moon in 2024.

NASA managers met Saturday and gave flight controllers a “go” to proceed with Orion’s “outbound powered flyby” maneuver, a two-and-a-half-minute firing of the spacecraft’s main engine starting at 7:44 a.m. EST Monday, about 19 minutes after the capsule passes behind the moon on a left-to-right trajectory as viewed from Earth.
