In 2017, President Donald Trump ordered NASA to send astronauts back to the moon. More than fifty years have passed since the first Apollo mission. The United States sees this as a significant step in promoting space exploration. In March 2019, Vice President Mike Pence gave NASA a five-year deadline to send female and male astronauts to the moon. NASA announced this month that the new program will be named after Apollo’s twin sister, Artemis. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine issued the following statement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt turns out Apollo had a twin sister, Artemis. She happens to be the goddess of the moon,\u201d Bridenstine said, referring to Greek mythology. \u201cOur astronaut office is very diverse and highly qualified. I find it very nice. Fifty years after Apollo, the Artemis program will bring the next man and first woman to the moon.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Photo credit: NASA<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n To ensure NASA has the resources it needs, President Trump has revised his budget. The new budget includes $1.6 billion for the agency. In addition, the mission guidelines have been slightly changed. \u201cAmong other things, we can use this to accelerate the development of the Space Launch System and Orion. It will support the development of a human lunar landing system. In addition, progenitor functions on the lunar surface are supported. This includes increased robotic exploration of the Moon\u2019s polar region,\u201d said Jim Bridenstine. However, this will take NASA’s focus away from the planned Gateway <\/span><\/span>spacecraft<\/span><\/span><\/a> , which was scheduled for launch in 2022. This resulted in Project Gateway being pushed back to 2028.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n With the additional resources, NASA can continue to develop its Orion space capsule. The space capsule launched in 2011 as a concept design. In 2014, a successful launch took Orion into space for 4 hours and 24 minutes. They plan to have the Orion capsule ready for astronauts by the deadline in 2024.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
