Space station will support the astronauts of the Artemis IV mission, will have cutting -edge technology and serves as a bridge to… Mars.
Will have the first space station to orbit the moon permanently. It is a partnership of NASA with Spacex.
“Building and testing hardware for the gateway is truly an international collaboration,” said Jon Olansen, director of the program at NASA’s Johnson space in Houston, quoted by.
“We are excited to celebrate this Important Flight Hardware Frameworkand this is just the beginning – there is impressive and important progress to take shape with our partners around the world, united by our shared desire to expand the human exploitation of our solar system as we advance in scientific discovery. ”
In March, the primary structure of the Halo module will be sent to Northrop Grumman facilities in Gilbert, Arizona, where it will be subjected to the final assembly. The goal is to launch the halo to Maximum not final of 2027, when you should also start the Artemis IV mission. It is with this mission in view that the space station has projected.
It is the maxe Space Systems who is setting up the element of energy and propulsion, which, according to Scitech, is what will make the gateway to more powerful solar electric propulsion spacecraft ever launched. Your assembly will be completed this year by NASA.
Already the role of SpaceX De Elon Musk is to provide Starship’s human transport system, which will bring astronauts to the lunar surface during the NASA Artemis III mission.
A Blue Originby Jeffrey Bezos also has a role in the Artemis mission: it will develop Blue Moon, the human landing system for Artemis V.
Three investigations on radiation are also being carried out, which will allow you to know more about the sun and the cosmic rays, and the way they will affect the equipment.
Gateway will also serve to perform various tests that will serve as a essay for the future Human shipping for Mars.
