NASA's Orion capsule returns to Earth from the Moon!!!
American Space Agency nasa has achieved a major success today. The agency's Next Generation space spacecraft (Artemis 1 Orion Capsule) has returned to Earth safely after a 26-day mission. The Orion capsule entered the Earth's atmosphere with a loud noise and fell back into the Pacific Ocean. According to the information, a parachute was used to slow down its speed.
This was an important project of nasa and hence it is being considered as a major success in terms of future space science of NASA. This was the first time and it has been sent as a trial, so this time no human was sent in it. nasa has a plan to send humans to the moon only through this.
What is this mission of NASA?
NASA is preparing to send humans to the moon. The task of sending humans to the moon is not difficult but the difficult task is to bring them back. That is why such capsules are being prepared by nasa which can bring humans safely to the earth after the mission from the moon. Apart from Artemis-1, Artemis-2 and Artemis-3 will be sent.
Astronauts will land on earth in 2026
Artemis 2 will be sent in 2024 and humans will be sent in it. Although they will also come back after circling the moon. Scientists will land on Earth in Artemis-3. nasa has kept the deadline for this mission in the years 2025 and 2026, that is why it is most important for the success of both the earlier missions.
