NASA announces new launch date for Artemis mission to Moon

NEW YORK (Dunya News) – NASA has announced to relaunch its delayed Artemis II moon mission on 6 March after successfully completing a fueling test that had caused it to stand down earlier this month.

The objective of Artemis II moon mission is to send humans around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

The mission will carry four astronauts on a 10-day journey. They will orbit the far side of the Moon before returning safely to Earth. NASA hopes this mission will mark the beginning of a new series of lunar expeditions aimed at eventually landing humans on the Moon again.

The development could lay the groundwork for establishing a permanent base on the Moon in the future, which may later serve as a launchpad for missions to Mars.
