Man wants to return to the moon, but this time he will stay there. The NASA space mission that could lead to some sort of colonization of our moon is called Artemis I and will take place on August 29 from Cape Canaveral. Turin, Italy’s aerospace capital, will play a leading role in all of this with two cutting-edge developments from Argotec and Thales Alenia Space.
In fact, NASA’s eye will be the first. In fact, the ArgoMoon satellite is 100% manufactured and designed in Turin. We will take a series of images to help NASA test its performance,” explains David Avino, CEO of Argotec. The project started in 2016.
Thales Alenia Space instead took care of two aspects of this mission: life inside the capsule and life on the lunar surface. “We have an important and relevant role. We participate in the construction of the structure of the service module. We are responsible for the design, construction and integration of the thermal control subsystem, as well as the design, construction and integration of the control system. the environmental conditions module of the part where the crew is located,” explains Dario Saia, MPCV program manager at Thales Alenia Space.
This time, however, we are going to the Moon to try to stay there: “Man is going to the Moon to stay there, in which case the idea is not to repeat the Apollo mission design, but to create a lunar base on Sputnik,” continues Dario Saia, MPCV Program Manager at Thales Alenia Space, “A base inhabited for temporary periods, but with permanent human presence on lunar soil. In this area, our involvement varies from a transport module, to lunar base and future lunar bases in which crews will rotate for a longer period, therefore with the idea of colonizing our satellite.”
385,000 kilometers separate Turin from the moon, but as of today, this distance may have been reduced.
