 NASA is preparing to go to the Moon!

NASA is preparing to go to the Moon again after a long break. He determined the points NASA wanted to go to on the Moon. NASA wants to collect lots of ice on the Moon. So what will it do with these ices? Now let's take a closer look at our news together...

NASA's last mission to the Moon was in 1972 with the Apollo 17 mission. It will be the first time since 1972 to go to the Moon. Planning to go in 2025, NASA stated that it will be manned in this space journey. If plans go flawlessly, the results excite astronomers.

NASA will collect lots of ice on the Moon

It wants to collect lots of ice with Artemis, which NASA plans to take place in 2025. NASA determined the regions it targeted and gave critical information about these 13 regions.

The marked regions are located at the Moon’s south pole. The agency believes there are significant resources of water, ice, and dark craters in the marked areas. Sarah Noble, head of lunar science in NASA’s Planetary Science Division, stated at a press conference yesterday that the regions had not been explored before.

NASA has pressed the button for the first project, which consists of 3 stages. NASA, which wanted to start the first step of the Artemis mission in May, started to take its first steps in May. Aiming to start the project 2028 in the first place, NASA would carry out the first human landing on the Moon in 2024, pushing its target 4 years earlier with the pressures of then President Donald Trump. 

This early launch, however, was hit by many hurdles. According to the current planning, the project will be delayed after the US elections. It is estimated to be in 2025.

Artemis 1, the first step of the long-term project, is a pioneer for the mission in general. This first step will be undertaken to test rockets and systems before a crewed flight into lunar orbit with the Artemis 2 program. If the second step is successful, a crewed landing will be made on the Moon's surface with Artemis 3, which is postponed to 2025.
