POČETAK BUDUĆNOSTI

Artemis III najavila svoju posadu koja će krenuti prema mjesecu

NASA je imenovala četvero astronauta koji će 2027. poletjeti u sklopu misije Artemis III., sljedećem koraku prema povratku ljudi na Mjesec, piše u utorak BBC.

Posadu će činiti trojica Amerikanaca i jedan Talijan - specijalisti misije Andre Douglas i Frank Rubio, pilot Luca Parmitano i zapovjednik Randy Bresnik.

Oni će iduće godine u letjelici Orion postavljenoj na raketi poletjeti u Zemljinu orbitu iz svemirskog centra Kennedy na Floridi.

Misija Artemis III bit će „početak budućnosti”, rekao je prilikom imenovanja šef NASA-e Jared Isaacman.

Tijekom misije testirat će se spajanje letjelica u Zemljinoj orbiti, po prvi puta s lunarnim sletačima privatnih tvrtki SpaceX Elona Muska i Blue Origin Jeffa Bezosa, piše Reuters.

Misiju Artemis III 2028. će pratiti Artemis IV koja bi trebala biti prvo NASA-ino slijetanje na Mjesec od 1972. godine.

The Artemis astronauts entered the final phase of their run-up to a lunar loop on April 6, a tipping point of sorts that means the Moon's gravity is now having a stronger pull on the spacecraft than Earth's. The Orion capsule will now whip around the Moon, setting the crew up to travel farther from our home planet than any human before.
