NASA Administrator Jim Brydenstein said the Artemis Moon program requires a full 28 billion, designed to return astronauts to the moon by 2024.
The space agency published the Artemis Plan, which will see the first female land on the lunar surface, as well as the next male. To date, only 12 people, all Americans, have landed on the moon.
“With the bipartisan support of Congress, our push toward the 21st century moon is within reach of the United States,” Bridensta said in a statement. “As we have strengthened our further research plans in recent months, we have continued to improve our budget and architecture. We are going back to the moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits.
He added, “As we build a sustainable presence, we are also building momentum towards that first human step on the Red Planet.”

NASA has a plan for annual Artemis Moon flights by the year 2030. May first fly in 2021.
For the “Phase 1” part of the program, વર્ષ 28 billion has been demanded by Finance through FY 2025, of which .6 7.6 billion have been earmarked for space launch system rockets. Some initial 16.2 billion is for the “early human landing system”, which includes the development, testing and launch of new lunar landers.
There is a budget for some 8 518 million lunar suits; Surface 552 million is for “surface logistics”; Billion 1.5 billion is earmarked for research technologies and $ 1.9 billion for the Lunar Discovery and Exploration Program, which has been described as a key component of NASA’s exploration strategy, including the establishment of a commercial agreement for lunar landing transport services.
Bridensta wrote in the presentation of the plan that, through public-private partnership, U.S. Our work to stimulate the space economy has made more achievements possible than ever before. “The budget given in this plan, which we need to achieve, represents bilateral support from Congress.

The main phase will be sent to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for coordination with the spacecraft after a successful hot fire test, the space agency wrote in the post. “NASA will launch SLS and Orion simultaneously on two flight tests around the moon to test performance, life support and communications capabilities. The first mission – known as Artemis I – is on track in 2021 without astronauts, and Artemis II will fly. With the crew in 2023. “
Artemis III, happening in 2024, will have a mission to return to the moon.

In January, Congressman Horn, D-Ocla, urged NASA to consider a 2028 deadline to send U.S. astronauts back to the moon to speed up the space agency’s long-term plans to explore Mars.
NASA’s Artemis program aims to land American astronauts on the moon by 2024 and establish a sustainable human presence on Earth’s natural satellite.
In 2019, NASA released details of its vision for the Artemis Moon lander that will return American astronauts to the lunar surface.
Early mission capabilities for 2024 include landing two astronauts at the moon’s south pole. According to NASA, the astronaut will live and work outside the lander for six and a half days.
In the long run, the lander will need to transport four people to the lunar south pole.
After the Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, only 10 more men, all Americans, walked on the lunar surface. The last NASA astronaut to set foot on the moon was Apollo 17 mission commander Janine Karnan on December 14, 1972.
