Moon mission could boost Canadian health-care, climate efforts: Artemis II astronauts
Four astronauts selected to orbit the moon say the Artemis II mission can help inform how Canada responds to food insecurity, health-care needs and climate adaptation in the Arctic.
The 10-day mission involves slingshotting into deep space for a figure-8 manoeuvre around the dark side of the moon.It will also set the stage for another mission planned for 2025 that will include driving a vehicle on the moon’s surface and seeking materials that could be converted into fuel and building supplies.
NASA’s audit branch estimates the Artemis program, which successfully sent an unmanned spacecraft around the moon last November and plans to have astronauts stay a week on the moon, will cost US$93 billion through fall 2025.The crew noted that beyond the positive message of co-operation that the mission sends, there are a range of what Glover called “inspirational returns” and economic spinoffs.
“These are areas that we can use the inspiration of space to help us bring real benefits to Canadians on the planet and society in general.” “We don’t have a training plan that’s laid out, that’s tried and true and has been done a bunch of times,” said astronaut Christina Hammock Koch. Yet during that period, her team will be tasked with “some of the most critical mission operations,” such as steering the vehicle and measuring its proximity to other objects, she said.
