Mission Artemis II, preparing for Monday's lunar flight
The crew is preparing to observe the hidden part of the moon on a mission that is maturing distancing marks.
The Artemis II mission is on its way to its key moment, the lunar flight scheduled for this Monday. On board the Orion, the four astronauts are making scientific preparations as they continue to move away from Earth.
Commander Reid Wiseman, along with Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, will star in a historic milestone, reaching the hidden side of the satellite and moving away from Earthmore than 406,000 kilometers .
Over the weekend, the crew has focused their efforts on reviewing their scientific observation targets. The team will explore key formations like the Eastern Basin during theirsix-hour flight to study the impact processes that are crucial to understanding the solar system.
From NASA, Head of Science Kelsey Young has stressed the importance of these observations, stressing that the mission will allow us to explore the regions of the Moon that human eyes never see , and open new lines of research in planetary science.
The journey has technical difficulties, and there are also surprises, so astronauts have had to deal with bathroom problems. The ventilation ducts have been frozen, which has caused incidents in the toilet, but they seem to have been repaired for the second time.
Despite these objections, the mission continues its course without the need to steerthe course, which gives greater confidence to the success of their flight around the moon.
Between technical tasks and daily challenges, astronauts also find time to communicate with their families, and consider this connection essential for this mission that will be a milestone.
In addition to monitoring the hidden side of the satellite, this mission will facilitate the goal of re-stepping on the moon.
