Nasa to talk about science, technology on board the following intuitive machinery moon

NASA will host media teleconferences at 1:00 pm on February 7, to discuss the science and technology of an agency flying on the second flight of intuitive machines for the month. Mission is part of the NASA -in Clp (Commercial service of useful load) Initiative and Artemis campaign to establish a long -term moon presence.

The call sound will be streaming on the agency’s website to:

Participants with Brifing include:

• Nicky Fox, Associated Administrator, Scientific Mission Administration, NASA headquarters
• Niki Werkheiser, Director, Technology Confirmation, Space Technology Mission, NASA headquarters
• Trent Martin, Senior Vice President, Space Systems, Intuive Machines

To participate in the phone, the media must RSVP no later than two hours before the briefing: KSC-NEWSROOM@Mail.naSa.gov. NASA -na media accreditation policy is available online.

Months for intuitive machines, Athens, launched On Spacex Falcon 9 Rackets from the 39a complex launch in NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A four -day start window opens not early on Wednesday, February 26.

Among the objects on intuitive machines, the IM-2 mission will be one of the first on the spot or in-in-sita, demonstration of the use of resources on the moon. Drill and mass spectrometer It will exchange the potential presence of volatile substances or gases from the lunar soil in Mons Mouton, a lunar plateau near the Moon South Pole. In addition, a passive laser retroreflector series on the upper deck of Lander will bounce laser light on any orbit or incoming spacecraft to get a permanent reference point on the surface of the moon. Other technological instruments at this delivery will show a powerful superficial communication system and arrange a propulsive drones that can skip over the moon surface.

Launch as a driving with delivery im-2, NASA -in lunar trail The space aircraft will also start their journey to the lunar orbit, where it will copy the distribution of different forms of water on the moon.

According to the CLPS model, NASA invests in commercial delivery services to the month to allow the industry to grow and support long-term lunar research. As a primary customer for the CLPS delivery, NASA is one of many customers for these flights.
