THIS IS COOL!! 😲👏 As NASA eyes November as the next opportunity to launch its Artemis I mission to the moon, it will conduct simulated missions in Arizona to practice moonwalks, and to test the capabilities of its rovers.
said it would conduct analog missions – simulated missions -- in Arizona to practice moonwalks, and to test the capabilities of its rovers., NASA said it would conduct two, multi-week tests in October near Flagstaff, Arizona, which is about two hours north of Phoenix.
"The Arizona desert possesses many characteristics that are analogous to a lunar environment including challenging terrain, interesting geology, and minimal communications infrastructure, all of which astronauts will experience near the lunar South Pole during Artemis missions," NASA said in aThe JETT3 Mission – Joint Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program Test Team – will consist of four simulated moonwalks and will allow NASA to understand the lightning...
The rovers will eventually house astronauts, and allow them to live and work inside, while also exciting to collect samples. NASA has twice attempted to launch Artemis I – it's first uncrewed test mission to the moon – but had to scrub both due to hydrogen leaks and other issues. Then Hurricane Ian forced NASA to move the rocket off the launch pad – an hours-long process – and back to the Vehicle Assembly Building., a launch window that opens Nov. 12 and closes on Nov. 27.
"Focusing efforts on the November launch period allows time for employees at Kennedy to address the needs of their families and homes after the storm and for teams to identify additional checkouts needed before returning to the pad for launch," the space agency said in a statement
