What about NASA's Orion spacecraft in the "constellation plan" of the United States returning to the moon?

At 201July 2, 9 19 Beijing time, NASA's Orion spacecraft successfully carried out the launch suspension test. The Orion spacecraft was launched to a height of about 6 miles above the ground, and then a pause procedure was triggered to stop the ignition of the engine and separate the crew compartment from the rocket. Finally, with the help of the attitude control engine, the crew cabin crashed safely into the Atlantic Ocean. The whole test process lasted about 3 minutes.

Subsequently, on April 2, 2009, Jim Breeden Sting, director of NASA, put forward the plan of returning to the moon until 2024 at the hearing of budget request for fiscal year 2020, thus achieving the goal of landing on Mars in 2033.

According to public information, NASA's new moon landing program is called the Alsi Miss Program. In Greek mythology, themis is not only the goddess of the moon, but also the twin sister of Apollo, the sun god. According to the plan, NASA will send a male astronaut and a female astronaut to the moon in 2024. If sister Chang 'e is not counted, this young astronaut will become the first woman to set foot on the moon.

Orion spacecraft is a new generation of manned spacecraft developed by NASA. Together with the space launch system and deep space portal, it constitutes the pillar of NASA's future deep space exploration, which is related to the US plan to return to the moon and land on Mars. There is no doubt that the success of this experiment is of great significance. "Launching off is the most difficult and dangerous part in the process of landing on the moon. This test simulates the most challenging situation that Orion spacecraft may encounter during the ascending phase of flight. Facts have proved that in the face of the most severe emergency, Orion spacecraft has good launch suspension ability. This has taken us another big step towards Al Simis' moon landing plan. " Mark Key Lasic, head of Orion spacecraft project at Johnson Space Center in Houston, said.

Later, Jim Breeden Sting, director of NASA, said on Twitter that the success of this test brought NASA one step closer to landing on the moon or even Mars.
