Enviando la primera misión Artemis a la Luna en preparación para misiones tripuladas, aterrizando un nuevo vehículo explorador en Marte y lanzando el nuevo telescopio especial James Webb al espacio, expandiendo nuestra capacidad de ver más profundo al universo, son solo algunos de los planes de la NASA para el 2021.

How We Are Going to the Moon
With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.
We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by 2028. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.
While Apollo placed the first steps on the Moon, Artemis opens the door for humanity to sustainably work and live on another world for the first time.
Using the lunar surface as a proving ground for living on Mars, this next chapter in exploration will forever establish our presence in the stars.
We are returning to the Moon – to stay – and this is how we are going!
