Here is all you need to know about the one-of-a-kind NASA Artemis I mission to the Moon. Know how to watch the launch through live stream.
The much anticipated and awaited space mission by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is just a few days away! The NASA Artemis I mission will be taking a diverse group of astronauts to the Moon, and here is all you need to know about it.
The Artemis I Moon mission is set to kick off on August 29, marking the first launch in a series of planned launches by the US space agency. The Space Launch System of the mission, which is the most powerful rocket built by NASA, is all set to launch to the moon for a series of space research experiments.
The main purpose behind the Artemis I space mission by NASA is to send humans to the moon once again and pave way for a long-term and sustainable lunar presence. The Artemis mission is being referred to as a stepping stone for sending astronauts to Mars.
The Artemis I mission will contain two spacecraft – the SLS and the Orion. While the SLS is set to carry the astronauts to the moon, the Orion is set to stay in space for a duration "longer than any ship for astronauts has done without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before," per NASA.
