      Artemis I 


     Hi everyone!! Today, I'm going to talk about Artemis 1!
It's going to launch on March 19, 2022!!! Let's take a look at it!



















                                  

Introduction

NASA's Artemis mission is important because NASA, Roscosmos, CSA, and ESA establish a new set of exploration, also it will prepare for the Mars mission, also will demonstrate that we can live in different worlds, and lastly humanity will explore places on the Moon that were not explored before. Did you notice that Apollo's twin sister is Artemis? It has been a long time since astronauts walked on the moon because robotic exploration took over... Nevertheless, we will continue exploring, so now is the time!                                                        

Early Mission

Early Artemis Mission is an SLS rocket (The Mighty Space Launch System). This rocket is the preparation for the Artemis program.

SLS is a superior launch vehicle that is designed to send cargo directly to the Moon in one mission. Did you know that it is more powerful than Apollo's Saturn V rocket! 

Later Missions

Later Artemis missions will arrive at the Gateway aboard Orion.  At the lunar south pole which is where NASA will establish exploration) NASA and its partners ( Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, and Russian Space Agency) will set up a Base camp that will have an Unpressurized rover, a pressurized rover, a Moon foundation, a habitation module, a habitable mobility module, power systems, ad in-situ resource utilization systems ( ad ISRU systems).


They'll also build Gateway which will be an essential element for research and science experiments which is key to the mission.

How It Started

Space Policy Directive-1 challenged this program and said " Lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth are knowledge and opportunities. Beginning with missions beyond low-Earth orbit, The United States will lead the return of humans to the Moon for long-term exploration and utilization, followed by human missions to Mars and other destinations. " 

              

NASA was ready for the president's call and developed deep space habitation capabilities... Also, improved spacesuits can provide more spacewalks, stronger communications, safety features, and more! A cross-agency architecture team had thought of their ideas for Gateway orbiting the Moon. This idea had a lot of support from international partners who also reflected in the Global Exploration Roadmap. 

Mission Prep

The SLS rocket launched an uncrewed Orion into Earth's orbit, which putting it on a step toward a lunar distant backward orbit, where it moves 40,000 miles beyond the Moon, or a total of 280,000 miles from Earth before returning home (Earth). This flight test will show the performance of the rocket on its first flight and collect the data before Orion returns on a fast-speed Earth reentry at 24,500 miles per hour.

 

Orion's first flight was on December 5th, 2014. This is 4 hr. and 30 mins. the mission proved that Orion's space abilities in a high-Earth orbit tested the spacecraft's heat shield to the extent possible during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, and proved the pod's recovery systems. Although it did not have a crew it flew faster and higher than any spacecraft meant to carry humans in the last 40 years! 

 

In 2019, NASA created a successful test that is called Ascent Abort-2, which tested the Orion launch abort system that was built on top of Orion at launch and also during ascent. 

 

The Orion crew module ( that is on top of SLS) is for the Artemis I mission and has been fully assembled, tested, and integrated with the European service module that was built by ESA, it provides a lot of propulsion power, and cooling systems for the crew where astronauts will live and work in... 

 ALL THE BEST TO THE CREW, NASA, AND ITS PARTNERS!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Space Shuttle 🚀: The World's First Reusable Spacecraft Missions Hello Everyone! 👋 Today, I'm talking about one of the most important missions: The Space Shuttle! Without further ado, let's begin! Introduction  The Space Shuttle was the world’s first reusable spacecraft and the first spacecraft to carry large satellites to and from orbit. It launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft, and lands like an airplane. The Space Shuttle consists of three major components: the Orbiter which houses the crew, a large External Tank that holds fuel for the main engines, and two Solid Rocket Boosters which provide most of the Shuttle’s lift during the first two minutes of flight. All components are reused except for the external fuel tank, which burns up in the atmosphere after each launch.  The Shuttle has the most reliable launch record of any rocket now in operation. Since 1981, it has boosted more than 1.36 million kilograms (3 million pounds) of cargo into

Aquarius: NASA's First Ocean Salinity Observations

Aquarius: NASA's First Ocean Salinity Observations Hello Everyone! Today we are talking about one of the first missions of NASA to observe ocean surface salinity. 😊 Did you know that an Aquarius is a constellation and a zodiac sign (My zodiac sign is an Aquarius!!!)? Let's dive in! 🌊 Introduction The Aquarius/SAC-D mission was an instrument for mapping ocean surface salinity, providing important information into Earth's water cycle and ocean circulation. Scientists can better understand how freshwater moves between the ocean and the atmosphere by studying ocean surface salinity. The Aquarius mission was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on June 10, 2011, and placed into a 657 km (408 mi) Sun-synchronous orbit. The mission was a collaboration between NASA and CONAE, with participation from Brazil, Canada, France, and Italy. The data collected by Aquarius during its mission provided a clearer picture of how the ocean works, how it's linked to climate

Space News: NASA Finds Details about Strange Space Signals

Space News: NASA Finds Details about Strange Signals Have you ever heard of fast radio bursts? They're these fascinating pulses of radio waves that come from way out in space. Scientists have been studying them for a while, and they're still a bit of a mystery. The thing is, these bursts are incredibly powerful and brief, which makes it really hard to figure out where they're coming from. But in recent years, astronomers have made some big strides in understanding these strange bursts, and they're getting closer to figuring out their true origins. In 2020, a fast radio burst – originating from a magnetar – was detected in Earth's home galaxy. Magnetars are the collapsed remains of exploded stars that are extremely dense objects. In October 2022, the same magnetar, known as SGR 1935+2154, produced another fast radio burst that was studied by NASA's NICER and NuSTAR telescopes. These telescopes observed the magnetar before and after the burst and caught a glimpse
