NASA Artemis 2 Crewed Mission Update


Below is an interesting press release on Mar 10, 2023 from nasa.gov:


Artemis II is the first crewed flight test on the agency’s path to establishing a long-term scientific and human presence on the lunar surface.

NASA and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) will announce during an event at 11 a.m. EDT (10 a.m. CDT) on Monday, April 3, from NASA Johnson Space Center’s Ellington Field in Houston, the four astronauts who will venture around the Moon. Traveling aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft during Artemis II, the mission is the first crewed flight test on the agency’s path to establishing a long-term scientific and human presence on the lunar surface.
 
Looks like NASA is taking one giant leap for mankind with the Artemis II mission! I can't wait to see who they send to the moon this time. Maybe they'll find some green cheese up there. Fingers crossed! ?

Going to the moon again is definitely interesting. The Artemis program is a robotic and human Moon exploration program led by the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) along with three partner agencies: European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

 
Can wait for Artemis 3
Yes. That will be exciting.

Artemis 1, officially Artemis I and formerly Exploration Mission-1, was an uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission. As the first major spaceflight of NASA's Artemis program, Artemis 1 marked the agency's return to lunar exploration after the conclusion of the Apollo program decades earlier.

Artemis 1's flight to the moon. On Nov. 16, 2022, two huge solid rocket boosters and a core stage filled with 733,000 gallons (2.8 million liters) of propellant powered Orion through Earth's atmosphere to orbit.

Thanks for this awesome info.

You are welcome.

March 24, 2023 - NASA: The Artemis II Moon Rocket is Coming Together, a high honor for some space explorers, and an intriguing find for the Webb Space Telescope - a few of the stories to tell you about - This Week at NASA!

NASA certainly reached a big milestone in moon rocket assembly.

The agency's crewed Artemis 2 mission, which will launch to the moon as soon as 2024, will use a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket core stage that is nearly ready, an update from NASA officials(opens in new tab) indicated on Tuesday (March 21). The core stage is now indeed fully assembled, (aside from its four RS-25 engines, which will be popped on shortly).

On April 3, NASA will name the 3 Americans and 1 Canadian that will fly around the moon for the first crewed mission to Earth's nearest neighbor since Apollo 17 in 1972.

Artemis 2 follows on from the successful Artemis 1, which really sent an uncrewed Orion capsule to lunar orbit and back late last year.

I mean look at that suit
