Scientists of the US Space Agency (NASA) will descend into the dark side of the Moon for the first time. This is the part of the Moon’s south pole that is not visible from Earth. Recently, NASA issued a statement saying that it will land its astronauts in 13 possible places near the South Pole of the Moon. The South Pole of the Moon is the most rugged and cratered region.
NASA said that the 13 landing areas it has selected are located within six degrees of latitude of the South Pole. Let us tell you that NASA’s Artemis-1 rocket is going on a 42-day journey to the Moon on 29 August.
Preparation for NASA’s Space Launch System is almost complete and it is in the final stages of launch. Through this, the process of sending humans to the Moon will be started in the coming two years. The people who have been selected for this mission have been selected keeping in mind the scientific objectives.
13 place names released:
The agency has released the names of 13 places it has identified near the Moon’s South Pole. There are several potential sites for the Artimus-3 landing in each area. NASA said in a statement that this time the first woman to step on the moon in the mission will also be part of the crew.
The 13 areas that have been identified for landing are Faustini Rim-A, Peak Near Shackleton, Connecting Ridge, Connecting Ridge Extension, De Gerlesh Rim 1, De Gerlesh Rim 2, De Gerlesh-Kocher Massif, Haworth, Malapert Massif, Leibniz son Pluto, Nobel Rim 1), Nobel Rim 2, Amundsen Rim.
Artemis-3 to be launched in 2025:
In a statement issued by NASA, it has been said that 13 landing zones are present within six degrees of latitude of the Moon’s South Pole. It is collectively filled with many geological features. All these areas provide landing options for the launch of Artemis-3.
The Artemis-3 mission has been identified as potential areas for astronauts to land on the Moon. The Artemis-3 mission is expected to launch with astronauts in 2025.
