INDOZONE.ID – Ambition NASA to recreate the moon walker or human walking on Month is in sight. The Artmeis I unmanned mission is scheduled to launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida on March 17, 2022.
Reported Live Sciencethat unmanned mission using aircraft space Orion aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket or NASA calls it a ‘Mega Moon rocket’.
The plane will travel 4 miles or 6.4 kilometers from the Kennedy Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Launch Pad 39B.
If the weather is favorable, the launch of the Orion plane will start at 5 p.m. local time and the plane will take about 11 hours to reach its destination.
Once the spacecraft and rocket are positioned on the launch pad, it will take engineers about two weeks to prepare for what is known as a ‘wet dress rehearsal’ or ‘wet dress rehearsal’.
The preparation was so named because the tests showed that the rocket could be loaded with supercooled liquid propellant.
NASA’s Exploration Ground System Program launch director at Kennedy, Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, said the station’s ‘call to the station’ for a wet-dress rehearsal will likely take place on April 1 and tanking operations are expected to begin on April 3.
Engineers and technicians will also practice a launch countdown, in just T minus 10 seconds to test the rocket’s response to a stop-of-flight scenario, before completing drills, draining fuel tanks and preparing the rocket to return to the VAB, which will take eight to nine days. again.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft can accommodate up to four people, but there will be no humans on board when the Artemis I mission flies later this year.
On future Artemis missions, Orion will carry astronauts into space, support them during missions to the Moon and keep them safe when re-entering from space.
The spacecraft perched on top of the SLS rocket beast is the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built.
This produces 15% more thrust during takeoff and ascent than the Saturn V rockets that flew during the space program of the 1960s and 1970s, and the SLS will be capable of carrying more than 27 tons (24,000 kilograms) to the moon.
