The most anticipated space program of the year, Artemis, is in its final stage. The program aims to return humans to the moon and safely return to Earth.
NASA had several successful man missions to the celestial body of the Earth and depicted their technological advancement. Every moon mission has enhanced our understanding of space and outer space rock bodies like the moon. However, the moon missions were stopped due to budget constraints by the US government back in the 1970s. Since then, no moon mission has been planned by any country.
Returning to the moon would open up a new frontier for the future generation of astronomers. Various technologies that have been unavailable will be tested during the mission. Samples will be collected, and a science experiment will be conducted to explore the cosmos and its formation process. US-UAE collaboration will be critical for the mission’s success because one of the Emirati astronauts, Sultan Al Neyadi, will join the mission.
The US and UAE are enduring the relationship of participation in space exploration. In the news conference, Dr Sultan AL Neyadi said technological achievements underpinned the journey. It will support the unwavering spirit of collaboration.
On Friday, the UAE embassy organized an event that brought the leaders of NASA and the UAE Space Agency together to showcase their continuous efforts and collaboration with two of the planet’s most technologically advanced countries. The event had various objectives, and the leaders explained why humans should become space-exploring civilizations.
Both nations thrive on tremendous ambitions in space exploration. Political solid and scientific connections would help both countries significantly contribute to the space industry. By working as a team, the countries can take humans beyond the Horizon and create a bright future for the new generation of space explorers.
UAE is known for adapting to new technology quickly and making the dream a reality. It has become the world’s technologically advanced hub, where you can see modern tech and facilities that you will not get anywhere else.
About Artemis Missions
The Artemis programmed is part of the Artemis Accords group signed by 35 countries. The US and UAE will play significant roles in the mission’s success. The agreements are formed to follow the set rules during space exploration. The commitment to exploring the lunar surface with the help of new technology and a better understanding of space would help us take a leap towards the future.
The collection of space exploration of the moon and beyond the celestial bodies of the Earth would increase our understanding and give us different perspectives on the universe. We must keep exploring to pass the barriers we have set on Earth and unravel the mysteries of the cosmos to see what is hidden beyond our Horizon.
We are conscious beings who love exploring, learning, and discovering new things in our environment. Space is a vastly unexplored domain for all humankind. We have come too long in the space exploration journey, but the vastness of the universe makes us tiny on the scale of the observable universe. Going to the moon would encourage future scientists and astronauts to think beyond traditional ideology. Knowing the cosmos would benefit all humanity.
Samples collected during the moon mission will be returned to Earth for further research. The moon samples are precious and cost millions of dollars on the planet. Even a tiny piece of the moon rock would be worth millions of dollars. Besides that, the soil sample will help scientists conduct research to find water on the moon.
Exploring the moon is critical for space travel, especially for the future Mars mission. The moon could become a base for the Mars mission, and refueling and docking would be possible before the astronauts go on the long journey to Mars.
Space exploration is expensive, so collaborating with various countries brings down the cost of the program and creates enthusiasm in future astronauts. The collaboration will aim to expand our knowledge beyond the moon by exploring other planets in our solar system.
The Artemis programmed will also carry the first woman astronaut to the moon. This will be a historical move for humankind because it has never been attempted before. Moreover, the first person of color will be part of the mission.
It is the first time NASA has sent an astronaut from the partnering country to the moon. All the earlier missions had a US astronaut, and they achieved several milestones during the mission.
Nasa is planning to create a Lunar Gateway station to support the future Mars mission. The station will have the necessary resources to travel beyond the moon and explore the other planets in our solar system. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable solution to park the space vehicle securely on the moon base and allow the astronauts to regain and get the necessary resources during the flight towards Mars.
