In 2024, American astronauts will set foot for the first time close to the Moon's South Pole, a region of extremes in light and darkness and frozen water that may provide energy for NASA's Artemis lunar outpost and the organization's ascent into deep space.
The Moon was first landed on Apollo 17 on December 11, 1972. This was also the last time a scientist had departed low Earth orbit, in addition to being the last Moon landing. With the Orion capsule's successful launch, NASA is now prepared to advance once again. Therefore, it's crucial to keep in mind how and why scientists arrived on the Moon.
As "our first foothold on the lunar frontier," NASA plans to establish a crewed base close to the moon's south pole.
The components of that settlement, known as Artemis Base Camp, include a pressurized rover for long-distance journeys away from the outpost, a pressurized rover for moving suited personnel about the site, and the surface habitat itself, which can accommodate four people at once.
