After nearly 50 years, NASA has resumed its mission to the Moon. On Wednesday, the US space agency launched a human mission to the moon. In its third attempt, NASA launched the Artemis-1 mission. Before this, 50 years ago, NASA sent the Apollo mission to the moon. According to information, the 32-story Space Launch System (SLS) rocket was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Florida.

The most powerful rocket ever built

First test flight of space rocket Artemis-1 and Orion spacecraft. At 322 feet (98 m) high, the rocket is the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA. With this, the Orion spacecraft was launched to the Moon without a crew. Orion will test the moon for about 42 days.

NASA's third lunar mission in 2025

It will be the first mission of NASA's Artemis lunar program. NASA is working on plans to land astronauts on the Moon in 2025 for its third mission. NASA plans to test the Orion satellite 60 miles above the moon's surface before approaching it.

10 small satellites will also be installed

If Artemis-1 successfully reaches Earth orbit, it will be a significant milestone for the project. During the mission, Orion will also place 10 small satellites known as CubeSats. One of these will contain yeast to see how the microgravity and radiation environment on the Moon affects the growth of microorganisms. Meanwhile, IceCube will orbit the moon and search for ice deposits on the moon that could be used by future lunar travelers.

About 23 days will be spent in space

Orion will fire its onboard thrusters to slow the spacecraft and help the moon's gravity hold it in orbit. During this phase, Orion will travel about 70 thousand kilometers from the Moon and reach its furthest point from Earth. Meanwhile, if there were astronauts in it, they would have seen a magnificent view of the Earth and the Moon from afar. Orion will spend six to 23 days in lunar orbit, firing its thrusters one more time to exit lunar orbit and return to Earth.
