To Launch on August 29 NASA Prepares Artemis I SLS-Orion Spacecraft
NASA has been getting ready for Artemis I, the launch of its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, along with the Orion spacecraft for astronauts, that was all ready to blast off on August 29. The U.S. space agency has been preparing to check its flight system that has been designed to send astronauts back to the Moon, decades after it has completed its Apollo missions. Well, NASA has been preparing for the next generation of space travel. The agency's SLS spacecraft was considered to be the latest vertical launch system which had been developed by NASA.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The U.S. space agency has been preparing to check its flight system
- The flight administrators have met at Kennedy Space Center in Florida
- The space agency has being aiming to complete its goal by 2025
Earlier this week, NASA had completed a flight readiness review for the Artemis I launch, prior to the scheduled test flight on August 29. The administrators of the flight have met at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and has confirmed that the mission was prepared for launch. The SLS-Orion spacecraft has been expected to blast off on Monday.
Artemis I has been considered as the first for NASA and the agency's test flight has been the first in a series of increasingly complicated missions. The uncrewed flight test would give foundation for human deep space exploration, as per NASA as it has been planning to send back humans to the Moon and explore a lot more on the lunar surface.
Well, last week NASA's SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft Artemis I mission had arrived on at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida after a 10-hour journey that was started from NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building.
According to NASA the space agency's engineers and technicians were presently engaged on configuring systems at the pad prior to the launch. The SLS-Orion spacecraft was anticipated to launch on Monday at 8:33am EDT (6:03pm IST).
Artemis I would stress out the SLS-Orion spacecraft's systems as a part of NASA's plans to verify whether or not the system was prepared to take astronauts to the moon. It was a goal that the space agency has being aiming to complete by 2025, prior to its plans to send humans to different planets which would include Mars as well.
