Next Steps In Lunar Exploration With Crew On Board
NASA has outlined the flight plan for the crewed Artemis II mission, which aims to test the Orion spacecraft with a flight crew on board. The mission will assess the spacecraft’s environmental control, life support, and astronaut interactive systems. This follows the successful uncrewed test flight of the Orion spacecraft in late 2022, which marked the beginning of NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration campaign. The Artemis II mission is a crucial step towards establishing a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface, as reported by Aviation Week.
