Kiswahili

Following the launch of four astronauts on the Artemis 2 moon mission, German Research Minister Dorothee Bär emphasized Germany's role. She noted that 'Made in Germany' technology is integral to the spacecraft. A German Esa astronaut is set to become the first European to travel to the moon soon.

German Research Minister Dorothee Bär highlighted Germany's and Europe's involvement in the Artemis 2 moon mission after the successful launch of four astronauts. "Germany is on board," the CSU politician stated.

The European Service Module (ESM), with final assembly in Germany, provides power supply and propulsion for the journey to the moon. Bär described it as an example of European competitiveness, featuring key components from Germany. "This shows: We are a top technology nation," she said.

Esa Director General Josef Aschbacher recently announced that Germany is first in line for Esa astronauts on moon missions. The specific astronaut has not yet been decided. German astronauts Alexander Gerst (49) and Matthias Maurer (56) have repeatedly expressed their desire to fly to the moon.

Bär added: "And soon a German Esa astronaut will be the first European en route to the moon."
