NASA is preparing to send a vehicle to the moon for the first time in five decades, in a huge scientific discovery that many people across the world are looking forward to.
NASA will launch the rocket carrying the unmanned vehicle known as Orion from the Kennedy Space Center on the coast of Florida on Monday morning, eastern time.
The rocket utilised in NASA’s powerful launch, which cost $20 billion, can only be used once, according to the British tabloid Daily Mail, while the launch costs $4 billion.
The unmanned spacecraft will spend 42 days orbiting the moon before returning to Earth and crashing in the ocean.
This launch is part of NASA’s Artemis mission, which aims to return people to the moon while also testing technology that might lead to human landing on Mars.
Despite the fact that it lasted from 1967 to 1973, this is NASA’s most ambitious rocket project since the Stauron 5 or Saturn project, which culminated in the first man landing on the moon in 1969.
The new missile is scheduled to launch from Florida at 8:33 a.m. ET in the United States, and if the launch is cancelled due to weather, two backup dates are established for September 2 and 5.
The progenitors of communication sites exchanged the countdown clock at the Kennedy Space Center, which signals the launch of space missions.
If all goes well, the second Artemis mission will launch in 2023, followed by the third in 2025, when American astronauts will land on the moon’s surface.
