Ilona Spacex Mask will send astronauts to the moon. The organization won the appropriate contract from NASA, reported on the website of the department.
“This is another amazing step of our path to return to the moon,” said NASA Katy Lheuders, head of the pilot flight program. In addition to Spacex for the right to deliver people to the satellite surface, Jeff Beza Blue Origin joined with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper, and Dynetics.
It is expected that on the Orion ship of four astronauts will be delivered to an incense station. After that, two of them will be sent to the Moon the StarShip ship owned by the mask. The cost of creating a system for planting a ship to the surface of the satellite will cost almost $ 3 billion.
In May 2020, NASA presented the International Artemis Agreement (Artemis Accords), which describes the international rules for the development of the moon and mining on its territory. For example, according to ten new principles specified in the Agreement, the concept of “safe zones” around future lunar bases is now introduced. In addition, NASA offers a public exchange of scientific data obtained, as well as the registration of spacecraft on the moon.
