Artemis 1 Is Due To Launch With Several Payloads At The End Of The Month

Edinburgh, 19 August 2022. – NASA has rolled out the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft for the third time on the launch pad for the launch of the 42-day Artemis 1 mission early next month. The Agency has begun pre-launch preparations, including inspection of connections, maintenance of solid rocket boosters and program-specific engineering tests. The launch is currently scheduled for August 29, sending the Orion spacecraft into orbit around the Moon. Artemis 1 will also carry several payloads, one of which is the lunar lander OMOTENASHI (Superior Lunar Exploration Technologies Demonstrated by NAno Semi-Hard Impactor). The CubeSat was built by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA in collaboration with the University of Tokyo. OMOTENASHI will perform a controlled landing on the lunar surface. The 6U CubeSat is designed to serve as a technical demonstration of the spacecraft’s landing capabilities, maneuvering and communication systems. Satellite manufacturer Terran Orbital will also have a payload on the SLS. LunIR (Lunar InfraRed imaging spacecraft), a 6U satellite will fly by the Moon and collect surface thermography and conduct deep space operations technology demonstrations. LunIR is Terran Orbital’s second lunar satellite after CAPSTONE. It will have a sight guidance system to locate pointing targets. The spacecraft is a joint effort between Lockheed Martin and Terran Orbital.
