NASA Invites of international participation to the Moon Missions for the first time
Washington … News Time
For the first time ever, NASA has invited a global partnership for its moon missions. NASA’s invitation means the US spacecraft could make it possible for foreign astronauts to land on the moon, which has never been done before. Addressing the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has said that there are many options for sending missions to the moon. And we want our global partners to go with us to the moon. He suggested that if we make an agreement with all the nations for moon missions, there will be no obstruction. That non-US astronauts could also step on the moon’s land under NASA’s leadership.
NASA is currently building a spacecraft (Orion) and mini space station (Gateway) that will remain in orbit for NASA’s 2024 human moon mission, Artemis 3. In this mission, the European Space Agency (ESA) will provide electricity, propulsion, thermal control, air and water for the mini space station. After the completion and expansion of this mission, foreign astronauts will also be able to go to the moon via NASA. According to Jan Worner (ESA) chief, we are in talks with NASA so that European astronauts can also go to NASA missions, the 2024 mission will be purely American. However, by 2027/28 European astronauts will be able to go. At the conference, Japan’s space agency JAXA also expressed great interest in sending its spacecraft to the moon.
