n 1977, twin golden records were sent into space on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. Still sailing through space at nearly 60,000 km per hour, the records contain sound, songs, and images from earth.

VOYAGER 1 - New Discovery after 4 decades in outer space

Artemis 3: The most important mission that will carry the Human Landing System (HLS) will place the next generation of astronauts on the lunar surface, including the first woman. We talked about the first two stages of the Artemis 1 and Artemis 2 projects in previous videos. In today's video, we will focus on the third stage of the project, Artemis 3. If you have not yet seen the previous videos about Artemis 1 and 2, we remind you to do so this way, and you will understand much better what Artemis 3 will consist of. the date of takeoff of Artemis 3 will be established. It is currently estimated that if everything goes according to plan, it could be expected that Artemis 3 will take place before the year 2030. ARTEMIS 3 Like the previous two stages, Artemis 3 will be carried out with NASA's SLS rocket which will take off from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's modernized spaceport at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

From launch to splashdown, NASA’s Orion spacecraft completed its first deep-space mission with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 9:40 a.m. PST (12:40 p.m. EST) Sunday. The record-breaking Artemis mission traveled more than 1.4 million miles on a path around the Moon and returned safely to Earth. Splashdown was the final milestone of the Artemis I mission, which began with a successful liftoff of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket Nov. 16, from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over the course of 25.5 days, NASA tested Orion in the harsh environment of deep space before flying astronauts on Artemis II. During the mission, Orion performed two lunar flybys, coming within 80 miles of the lunar surface. At its farthest distance during the mission, Orion traveled nearly 270,000 miles from our home planet, more than 1,000 times farther than where the International Space Station orbits Earth, to intentionally stress systems before flying crew. Prior to entering the Earth’s atmosphere, the crew module separated from its service module, which is the spacecraft’s propulsive powerhouse provided by ESA (European Space Agency). During re-entry, Orion endured temperatures of about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, half as hot as the surface of the Sun. Within about 20 minutes, Orion slowed from nearly 25,000 mph to about 20 mph for its parachute-assisted splashdown. During the flight test, Orion stayed in space longer than any spacecraft designed for astronauts without docking to a space station. While in a distant lunar orbit, Orion surpassed the record for distance traveled by a spacecraft designed to carry humans, previously set during Apollo 13.

Artemis 2 is the second stage of the Artemis project and will consist of a series of human-crewed missions aboard the Orion spacecraft. In this mission, the astronauts will prepare for the next ones to establish a base on the Moon. MISSION Artemis 2 will be the second stage of the Artemis project. Its launch date will be subject to Artemis 1, and its main objective will be to bring to the moon instruments and astronauts who will make preparations for the safe arrival of humans. The liftoff of the mission will be the same as with Artemis 1, a Space Launch System (SLS) that will carry the provisional cryogenic propulsion stage (ICPS) and the Orion spacecraft with a crew of 4 astronauts. Once the SLS reaches the Earth's orbit, it will decouple and return to Earth. On its own, the ICPS will be in charge of taking the Orion spacecraft to the Moon with fuel-based on Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Project Artemis is a NASA-powered space program that aims to bring the next generation of men and women to the Moon. Its primary mission is to establish the first lunar base with water, fuel, food, and labor, where there can be a permanent human settlement like on the International Space Station (ISS) and which will eventually become a stop for the future human-crewed missions to the planet Mars. Are they ready for the new space age? Let's go! WHAT IS THE ARTEMIS PROJECT? The Artemis project is divided into three stages: Artemis 1: Which will consist of an uncrewed flight test of the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft around the Moon, where the next generation of spacecraft that will take humans to the Moon and Mars will be tested, as well as new technologies that will provide life support for extended stays in space. After many tests and some hurdles, NASA finally set the launch date for the Artemis 1 mission in February 2022.

While Apollo placed the first steps on the Moon, Artemis opens the door for humanity to sustainably work and live on another world for the first time. Using the lunar surface as a proving ground for living on Mars, this next chapter in exploration will forever establish our presence in the stars.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission has returned unprecedented data from near the Sun, culminating in new discoveries published on Dec. 4, 2019, in the journal Nature. Among the findings are new understandings of how the Sun's constant outflow of material, the solar wind, behaves. Seen near Earth -- where it can interact with our planet's natural magnetic field and cause space weather effects that interfere with technology -- the solar wind appears to be a relatively uniform flow of plasma. But Parker Solar Probe's observations reveal a complicated, active system not seen from Earth.

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. The new milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science. Just as landing on the Moon allowed scientists to understand how it was formed, touching the very stuff the Sun is made of will help scientists uncover critical information about our closest star and its influence on the solar system.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission launched Aug. 11 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission will be the first to fly directly through the Sun’s corona – the hazardous region of intense heat and solar radiation in the Sun’s atmosphere that is visible during an eclipse. It will gather data that could help answer questions about solar physics that have puzzled scientists for decades. Gathering information about fundamental processes near the Sun can help improve our understanding of how our solar system’s star changes the space environment, where space weather can affect astronauts, interfere with satellite orbits, or damage spacecraft electronics.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe and its United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle prepare for an unprecedented mission to "kiss the Sun."

How do you prepare to move the first spacecraft to touch the Sun? Same way you would move anything else: carefully wrap it, pack it in a large container, and perform a nitrogen purge. On Monday, November 6, NASA's Parker Solar Probe spacecraft traveled from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, where the spacecraft was designed and built, to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland - a short drive that still takes a lot of preparation. Come behind the scenes as Parker Solar Probe is carefully wrapped, packed, and transported to Goddard, where it will undergo extreme environmental testing that will ensure it's ready for its mission to unlock the mysteries of our Sun.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to "touch" the sun. The spacecraft, about the size of a small car, will travel directly into the sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from our star's surface.
