NASA’s half-decade long mission to the Moon has been delayed by another year


NASAA mission to boldly go where no man has gone for half a century was delayed by another year last night.

The US space agency has blamed technical problems in its Artemis program for pushing back its return to the moon in 2026 to mid-2027.

Sixty years after the last moon landing, with Apollo 17 in December 1972, another mission to send astronauts around the moon – but without touching it – which was due to the explosion in September, was delayed again, until April 2026.

The Artemis mission to return to the moon was launched during the President-elect’s tenure Donald Trumpthe first in the office.

The delay was attributed to various problems caused by the first test flight of Artemis, which will fly around the moon unmanned in 2022, including the flame shield that is necessary to protect the astronauts on the return to Earth.
