How can humanity use the developing Mondgateway as a suitable starting point to promote research into human space beyond the moon? This is a study recently presented on the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC), which can be received as a team of researchers that evaluated a variety of ways of how Mondgateway can be used as a test bed for future technologies that send people to Mars and Ceres. This study has the potential to help scientists, engineers, astronauts and mission planners to develop new strategies for the further development of long -term research into human space.
For the study, Malaya Kumar Biswal, the founder and CEO of Acceleron Aerospace, and Ramesh Kumar V, the founder and CEO of Grahaa Space, on the recent research, which they also presented at LPSC, on which LPSC with the human crewed interplanetary transport (Hucitor -Hucitar) participated to send people with the mission.
For this research, the team examined various ways of using the Mondgateway to test and prepare technologies and astronauts for future human missions for Mars and Ceres between 2040 and 2050, including the drive and refueling, conservation and radiation protection, assembly and radiation protection, maintenance as well as communication and navigation.
In addition, they suggested a mission plan to send people to Mars and Ceres after the start from Mondgateway, where they carry out to Mars travel, orbital and surface surgery, travel to Ceres for the same destinations and then return home. While the researchers emphasize confidence in their goals and goals, they warn of the challenges, including risk management, logistical and financial support, scientific priorities and technological advances.
The study comes to the conclusion: “The further development of the moon gate to support multi-planetary missions to Mars and Ceres issues a courageous step forward when researching humans. This approach optimizes the resources by combining several goals into a single mission, and creates a sustainable infrastructure for ongoing space. require global cooperation by 204050.
This study is carried out by an international consortium from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) is currently building the first modules of the Lunar goal and the start of the start and start. Logistics Outpost (Halo), which are produced by Maxar Technologies or Thales Alenia Space. During this first start, the four subsequent missions that deliver additional modules are occupied as part of Artemis IV, V, VI and VII and are currently planned for September 2028, March 2031 and March 2032. The expected science, which is carried out on the moon gate, includes the areas of planetary science, human health, solar physics and straw observation, to name just a few.
Lunar Gateway has the potential to build on fantastic research and science that has been carried out at the International Space Station (ISS) for over two decades. While the ISS was limited to the implementation of research in the Low -Earth orbit, the Lunar Gateway could serve as a springboard for people who go beyond the moon and at the same time develop the technology and architecture for mission success.
How does Lunar Gateway help to promote exploration of man in the coming years and decades? Only time will say it, and that's why we know!
As always, they continue and continue looking!
