After more than 50 years, NASA is gearing up for the Artemis 3 mission to return to the moon, with astronauts training in the Northern Arizona desert. The mission, planned for September 2026, is part of the Artemis campaign focusing on exploring the moon's south pole region. NASA's new megarocket, the Space Launch System, has enabled progress towards this goal, ensuring safety is a top priority. Training simulations in dark conditions are crucial as the lunar region has long shadows and dim environments. The astronauts are preparing for extravehicular activities and surface mobility tests for the upcoming lunar mission. They are specifically aiming to locate ice deposits on the moon, which contain hydrogen and oxygen that can be utilized for rocket fuel and life support systems. The vision extends to establishing a lunar fuel depot for future space missions to destinations like Mars and beyond.
