""Will Artemis Be Ready on Launch Day?" GAO - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to build a sustained human lunar presence and ultimately travel to Mars through a series of missions known as Artemis. For Artemis IV, the agency is developing the Gateway—the first space station planned to orbit the moon. NASA tracks the Gateway program’s progress via cost and schedule commitments. GAO analyzed NASA documentation and interviewed officials on the Gateway program’s cost, schedule, risks, and role in the Artemis architecture. Check out our full report for more information and to see what actions we recommended NASA take."

The US and UAE are joining forces to send humans back to the Moon! This "#Artemis" mission is all about working together to figure out the secrets of space. 👉 The UAE is building a special airlock door for a space station that will orbit the Moon. Think of it as a giant space door astronauts can use to get in and out safely. 👉An Emirati astronaut will even get to join the mission! They'll be one of the first people to set foot on the Moon in years. But by working together, the US and UAE hope to overcome these challenges and learn more about how humans can survive in space for longer periods. This will pave the way for future missions to Mars and beyond! #SpaceExploration #Artemis

Industry Spotlight: Lockheed Martin Space A key objective of our conference is to highlight the leaders and organizations who are helping to secure humanity's future beyond earth's orbit. Today's spotlight focuses on the incredible achievements of Lockheed Martin Space in the development of the Orion spacecraft. This engineering marvel is central to the Artemis program, representing a significant leap forward in deep space exploration. Orion is designed to sustain human life in the harsh environment of space, as it ventures beyond any territory previously explored by humans. Its capacity to carry astronauts deeper into space promises to open a new chapter in our celestial journey.   Lockheed Martin’s vision and technical prowess bring us closer to the next era of space exploration. Experience the intensity of Orion's journey back to Earth in this gripping re-entry video from Artemis-1: https://lnkd.in/ezKA6eA5.   Stay tuned as we continue to feature the advancements shaping our journey among the stars.   #Orion #ArtemisProgram #SpaceExploration #NewSpaceAge

Something so many people have been talking about over the past week: How are we struggling to land on the moon now when we did it over 50 years ago with Apollo? I dive in. Newsletter version: https://lnkd.in/eqQSxBYz #space #spaceflight #nasa

Spaceflight to the lunar surface has been energised by the potential of the Artemis missions, which aim to use the Moon as a pit stop on a much bolder cause: crewed flights to Mars. First mooted by NASA in 2017, the Artemis programme wants to build a permanent base on the Moon that can act as a gateway to further-flung destinations. Modern aims require modern solutions. Aiming to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2025, here is how the engineering behind Artemis differs from the trailblazing efforts of the 20th century – and how, in some ways, it is surprisingly similar. #space #engineering #NASA #Moon

India's best-kept secret of the last 5 years - #indian astronaut🚀🚀 candidates who have been training for the Gaganyaan mission! These men will create history by traveling to space from India for the first time. - Gp Capt Ajit Krishnan - Gp Capt Prashanth Nair - Gp Capt Angad Pratap - Wg Cr Shubhanshu Shukla These four pilots have completed their one-year training course in Russia's Zvyozdny Gorodok city during the pandemic and are now based in a unit of Isro getting familiar with the intricacies of the Gaganyaan mission. With a launch date of 2025, the Gaganyaan project will prove that ISRO can launch humans into space and safely return them to Earth. With this, India will soon become the 4th country to launch a crewed spacecraft into space! #gaganyaanmission #spaceexploration #astronauts
