Nasa inicia treinamento com protótipo de módulo lunar da Blue Origin

A Nasa recebeu um protótipo em escala real da cabine da tripulação Mark 2 da Blue Origin e em breve iniciará exercícios de treinamento de astronautas. O desenvolvimento apoia o objetivo da agência de levar humanos de volta à superfície lunar em 2028.

O protótipo, que mede cerca de 4,5 metros de altura, chegou ao Johnson Space Center da Nasa esta semana. Engenheiros e astronautas o utilizarão para testes com humanos que abrangem cenários de missão, comunicações com o controle da missão, verificações de trajes espaciais e caminhadas lunares simuladas, informou a Nasa.

NASA's Artemis II mission lifted off successfully on April 1, 2026, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen aboard the Orion spacecraft for the first crewed Moon flyby since Apollo 17. Powered by the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the 10-day test flight will validate critical systems for future lunar landings and Mars missions, looping around the Moon's far side.

NASA is working with SpaceX and Blue Origin to simplify requirements for their Human Landing Systems, aiming for a 2028 moon landing. Lori Glaze, head of NASA's deep space exploration, said both companies have submitted proposals to speed up development by avoiding complex orbits. Officials are analyzing compatibility with the Orion spacecraft.

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.

The US space agency NASA is set to launch its Artemis II mission today, sending astronauts to orbit the moon for the first time in over 50 years. Four astronauts from the US and Canada will undertake a test flight lasting about ten days. Germany provides the key European Service Module for the Orion spacecraft via the European Space Agency.

NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is set to launch Artemis II as soon as April 1, 2026, sending four astronauts on a crewed flyby to the Moon's far side—the farthest from Earth any humans have traveled. This follows February's Artemis program adjustments addressing SLS delays, using the rocket's powerful core stage and boosters detailed ahead of liftoff.

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 has completed initial evaluations of the Artemis II mission systems following the crew's safe return from a lunar flyby earlier this month. The Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket performed as expected, setting a new record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth. Minor issues arose with the toilet system, but the crew resolved them successfully.
