NASA's new billion dollar space suite by Axiom space

NASA's new space suite for Artemis lunar mission

Axiom space has been selected by Nasa to deliver a moonwalking system for the upcoming Artemis 3 mission. Which is aiming to land the Americans on the surface of the moon after 50 years. The award was given to axiom space under a competitive spacesuits program in order to develop a new next gen Artemis space suite and supporting system and to demonstrate the use on the lunar surface during Artemis 3

As part of the planned human lunar mission,Nasa plans to land the first woman and the first person of colour on the surface of the moon. After checking proposal from two of the eligible space vendors. Nasa selected axiom space for the task order. It has a base value of 228.5 million dollars . In the future a task order will be completed for recurring spacesuite service to support subsequent Artemis mission 

 Manager of NASA's Extravehicular Activity and human surface mobility program, Lara Kearney said “ Nasa is proud to partner with the commercial industry on this historic mission that will kickstart the united stated building a lasting presence on the surface of the moon . What we learn on Artemis 3 and future missions on and around the moon will pave the way to mission to Mars. Space suite literally takes that next step"

Nasa, has defined the technical and safety requirements for the the next generation of space suite using more than 50 years of spacesuits expertise.
design, development, qualification, certification, and production of its spacesuits and support equipment will responsible bye Axiom space that will meet these key agency requirements for Artemis III.  

Experts from Nasa will maintain the authority for astronaut training. Axiom space will be required to the suite the suite in a space like  environment before Artemis III.

By landing the first woman and the first person of colour on the surface of the moon it will pave way for a long-term, sustainable lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone for future astronaut missions to Mars.

NASA and ESA,s Mars sample return mission

Image
NASA is planning to bring back the first samples of Mars materials to Earth with the help of ESA (European space agency). This mission consist of three parts . * The lander  * The mars ascent vehicle * The Earth return orbiter So how will this mission works? using the drill on the end of the robotic arm of the perseverance rover, drilling the surface of mars and collecting pieces of mars into the sample tube and then transfer that sample tube into the inside of the rover and then seal them for storage. After a long time in 2026 the mars mission lander( with the mars ascent vehicle) lands near the perseverance rover , the rover moves to the lander and with the help of the robotic arm of the rover the samples will be transferred to the lander . Then the mars ascent vehicle lifts of from the lander( with the samples )and captures into mars orbit then the container ( where the samples is placed) will be ejected from the ascent vehicle and then be captured by the Earth return orbiter an...
