DESTINATION BANDUNG– The Space Launch System (SLS) giant rocket that was successfully launched on November 16, 2022 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is exploring and making history to open a new era of space exploration with a mission called Artemis I.
During its multi-week mission, SLS will push the Orion spacecraft to the Moon, then enter lunar orbit before returning to Earth.
Artemis I was unmanned and would not have landed on the lunar surface, but this mission was an important first step in NASA’s plan to return humans to the moon. Returning humanity to the moon will be one of the boldest endeavors of the 21st century, and Nokia is playing a small but significant role.
Although Nokia is not part of the Artemis program, it does participate in NASA’s Tipping Point initiative. Tipping Point supports the advancement and validation of technologies that could play a key role in future Artemis missions. Notably, Nokia is developing and deploying the first mobile communications system in space.
