Tysk forskningsminister Bär fremhæver deltagelse i Artemis 2-missionen

Efter opsendelsen af fire astronauter på Artemis 2-månemissionen fremhævede den tyske forskningsminister Dorothee Bär Tysklands rolle. Hun bemærkede, at teknologi med stemplet 'Made in Germany' er en integreret del af rumfartøjet. En tysk Esa-astronaut står snart til at blive den første europæer, der rejser til månen.

Den tyske forskningsminister Dorothee Bär fremhævede Tysklands og Europas deltagelse i Artemis 2-månemissionen efter den vellykkede opsendelse af fire astronauter. "Tyskland er med om bord," udtalte CSU-politikeren.

European Service Module (ESM), hvis endelige samling foregår i Tyskland, leverer strømforsyning og fremdrift til rejsen mod månen. Bär beskrev det som et eksempel på europæisk konkurrenceevne, der indeholder centrale komponenter fra Tyskland. "Dette viser: Vi er en teknologisk topnation," sagde hun.

Esa-generaldirektør Josef Aschbacher annoncerede for nylig, at Tyskland står først i køen til at få Esa-astronauter med på månemissioner. Det er endnu ikke besluttet, hvilken astronaut der bliver tale om. De tyske astronauter Alexander Gerst (49) og Matthias Maurer (56) har gentagne gange udtrykt deres ønske om at flyve til månen.

Bär tilføjede: "Og snart vil en tysk Esa-astronaut være den første europæer på vej til månen."

German astronauts Alexander Gerst and Matthias Maurer regret not joining the Artemis 2 mission, which will send humans around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. Both expressed their longing for a Moon flight in Cape Canaveral. ESA chief Josef Aschbacher highlighted Germany's priority for future ESA Moon missions.

NASA has set March 6 as the earliest possible launch date for the Artemis II mission following a successful second fueling test of its Space Launch System rocket. The test at Kennedy Space Center resolved issues from an earlier attempt marred by a hydrogen leak. The mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in a crewed test of the Orion spacecraft.

NASA's Artemis 2 four astronauts are approaching the Moon, with the mission's climax set for Monday's flyby of its far side, the first since Apollo 8 58 years ago. They may view regions never seen by human eyes, such as Mare Orientale. The crew will set a new record for distance from Earth.

NASA's Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the halfway point to the Moon following Wednesday's translunar injection burn, continuing smooth progress on the historic 10-day mission—the first crewed trip beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17. The crew is on track for a lunar far-side flyby tomorrow and observations on April 6.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told lawmakers that SpaceX and Blue Origin expect their lunar landers to be ready for the Artemis III mission in late 2027. The mission will now test the landers in Earth orbit rather than attempting a lunar landing. This change aims to reduce risks and increase launch frequency.
