It's time to boldly go... DMorris_Star takes a look at the latest exciting goings-on at NASA including the ArtemisProgram and the DARTMission.
Back in 1964, with his recording of this Bart Howard classic, Mr Sinatra was of course far from the only one who wanted to see what spring was like on Jupiter and Mars. Thanks to US President John F. Kennedy’s national goal for the 60s of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth”, the eyes of the world were fixed firmly on American space agency NASA.
Yes folks, the moment for a little galactic giddiness is now, so here we’re digging into the latest goings-on at NASA.Artemis I launch beset with problemsDue to fears over the arrival of Hurricane Ian, NASA once again postponed the highly-anticipated launch of its new moon rocket. While frustrating setbacks have plagued Artemis I’s launch – originally scheduled for August 29 – folks at NASA are keeping their spirits up, and remain excited about a return to the moon after five decades away.
- Artemis I, formerly Exploration Mission-1, will be the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System rocket and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. - Orion will stay in space longer than any ship for astronauts has done without docking at a space station, and return home faster and hotter than ever before.
- For its return trip to Earth, Orion will do another close flyby that takes the spacecraft within about 60 miles of the Moon’s surface. The spacecraft will use another precisely timed engine firing of the European-provided service module in conjunction with the Moon’s gravity to accelerate back toward Earth.
“IMPACT SUCCESS!” NASA tweeted after its spacecraft, known as Double Asteroid Redirection Test , collided with the 170-metre wide asteroid about 00.20 UK time on Tuesday, September 27. The DART mission was the first ever full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology. The spacecraft recently captured its first images of Didymos and Dimorphos using an onboard instrument, known as the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation .
