NASA’s Artemis Base Camp & Plans For Lunar Resources

It has been around half a century since the last time a human stepped foot on the Moon. However, this is set to change in a relatively short period of time as NASA and the long list of companies working with the agency work on projects meant for future Artemis missions. Not only does the agency plan to return humans to the Moon in a few years, but set up a more permanent human presence. This being said, it is much easier landing humans on the surface and leaving not long after compared to a sustained stay. Here, NASA will need to pre-stage a large amount of equipment and create vital infrastructure to support humans on the surface. This complex process is also intended to make use of some of the resources the Moon offers. As important launch vehicles such as the Space Launch System continue to make progress, we get closer and closer to some of the first official Artemis missions. At the same time, the prep has already begun with missions like CAPSTONE set to launch in only a few weeks. Here I will go more in-depth into NASA’s plan for the base and how they intend to utilize resources on the surface. Full article here - https://thespacebucket.com/nasas-arte...
