Space: The year 2024 will be busy, especially on the moon

  • One response
The new year is expected to be full of exciting space missions, from rocket launches and landings to the moon, manned flights around the moon, a new spacecraft to explore Jupiter and a demonstration flight of a new supply spacecraft to the International Space Station

The moon is in the crosshairs: technicians add a "target" to the Artemis 2 missile

  • One response
The four astronauts aboard Orion will use a target attached to the space propulsion stage to demonstrate approach operations to test Orion's navigation capabilities. The target underwent illumination tests in May to ensure that it could be seen in different lighting conditions in space
