If you had doubts that the moon was eclipsed with being late they could be declined recently announcement This aerospace group Thales Alenia Space and the Italian Space Agency will develop the first human habitat in the key update of the ARTEMIS program led by NASA.

“The purpose of Artemis is to ensure a stable person’s persistent presence on the moon as a step for future missions to Mars,” the press -release said. The “stone step” inevitably stands out.

Since the end of the 2010s in China and India, only spacecraft landed on the lunar soil, and commercial companies have reached a feat since the beginning of last year. However, Moon Ventures are gradually regarded as a pit -stop, not an autonomous final place – with the attention that goes to a greater, juicy endgus for the installation of bots on Mars.

Just get acquainted with US President Donald Trump and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who stands for the colonization of the “Red Planet”: “Rhetoric translated”, although the lunar activity should be dominated by NASA’s social calendar through the Artemis initiative over the next few years. Following the debut with the unscrewed test of the task back in 2022, the next three missions within the Artemis program are aimed at a pilot flight approximately next year, in mid-2017, the South Pole and at some point in 2028 in 2028, which give astronauts and work at the gateway station.

At the same time, the US Space Agency is still approaching its commercial program Lunar Coils Services (CLPS, spoken called “clips”), using less private sector costs to provide scientific and technological strains per month. Earlier, NASA stated that it was assigned a maximum of $ 2.6 billion for contracts between the 2024 to 2028. Last year, two missions were held, four came out in 2025, and several years planned over the next few years.

The original space racing began in the 1950s as a large extent of the two-nationwide exhibition of national pride, technical skills and military fire strength. It was the spiritual successor of the nuclear race between Russia and the US during the Cold War – and began to twist after the first step of the Nile Armstrong on the moon in 1969.

The pursuit, to reach Mars at first, attracts a slightly larger crowd. China has postponed the scientific -research base on Mars in the wishes list by 2038 and has Earlier said It is planned to send a piloted mission to the Red Planet five years before. European cosmic – Note He plans to send Europeans to the planet by 2040.

Meanwhile, Russia is more protected about the disclosure of its Mars plans. He has signal The intention to work only in relation to such missions after suspension of a joint euro with the European Space Agency in connection with Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Mars’s return is inevitable if you shrug off any Hollywood Heebie-Jeebies about the hostility of the possible life of aliens. It has more “terrestrial” environmental conditions than a month and decent potential for sustainable hospitality (although some have done the case for one of the Lun Saturn, Titan). But it will be interesting to know if national space agencies are changing – leaving the projects of the moon to become increasingly the province of private space companies that are flocking to fill the gap.

One of them is engaged in headlines last week: based on the successful, faithful landing of its blue Ghost Rover back in March, Northrop Grumman Aerospace, which supported Firefly Aerospace The original public proposal. It boasts a lag of approximately $ 1.1 billion and in a six -time revenue jump up to $ 55.9 million at the end of March. But it competes in the landscape of increasingly advanced and cheap satellites, orbital congestion and high costs with the titanium rivals, ranging from the blue origin of Jeff Bezos to SpaceX and national governments. Suitable for our theme, It’s just rewarded Its fifth CLPS contract worth $ 176.7 million to deliver five useful loads supported by NASA to the South Pole of the Moon in 2029.
