Nasa postpone the first human landing on the moon in half a century until 2027
The US Space Agency “NASA” postponed the first human landing on the surface of the moon in more than 50 years to 2027, given the engineers of the agency to repair decisive problems associated with the safety of devices, as well as to change future flight plans. The agency officials also announced to the journalists on Thursday, postponing a previous mission known as ‘Artemis 2’, which aims to transfer a crew consisting of four individuals on a journey around the moon for a seven -month period to become the new date in April 2026. This journey will be the first to include a woman and a person with a colorful skin and a non -American astronauto to the Vicinity of the Moon. These tasks are part of a plan to return people to the surface of the moon during the current decade, except that the postponement of the dates reflects technical challenges and increases the costs of spacecraft facing the program. The announcement comes a day after President -pruned Donald Trump was nominated for the SpaceX space trigger and businessman billionaire Jarrid Isaqman as the next director of NASA. Technical challenges that “NASA” delay the program is facing technical challenges that delay its launch, the most prominent of which is a problem in the “Orion” Heat Shield, made by Lockheed Martin, needed to protect the crew from high temperatures when the vehicle enters the Earth’s atmosphere. During a trial mission performed without a human crew in 2022, parts of the thermal shield separated when the capsule returned to the ground, which expressed concern about the safety of future crew. The director of the “NASA” Bill Nelson said on Thursday, Thursday that the agency had decided to maintain the current heat screen to extensive tests, but with the adjustment of the vehicle’s entrance road to the Earth’s atmosphere. As for the future missions of “Artemis”, a new thermal shield will be developed. The rocket used to launch the vehicle in space, known as the ‘SLS) manufactured by’ Boeing ‘, has been suffering from repeated delays for years. Nelson, who always wants to highlight his public statements about the spacecraft with China, told reporters that the date for 2027 still announced a major difference from the date by indicating the NAA administration on one’s adjusted as 2030. SpaceX, Elon Musk and his criticism of the high cost of starting the “Space Takeoff system”. said: “In the first place, there is a single spacecraft classified for the transport of people currently working, and it has already exceeded the moon, and it has traveled a distance beyond any other spacecraft qualified to transport people, which has the question of the possibility of a sudden dominance of Starsip vehicles. Nelson also confirmed that he had talks with Ishaqman and that he would soon look forward to his meeting, while planning to communicate with Sheotwell, president of “SpaceX”, and with “Blue Antige” business, supported by Jeff Bezos, chairman of the Council of “Amazon Dot com”. The SpaceX and Blue Oreggen businesses develop vehicles to land on the moon within the “Artemis” program.
