UAE’s MBR Nafasi Centre has collaborated with NASA to provide an airlock for the first mwandamo nafasi station Gateway that will obiti ya Moon to support long-term exploration of the Moon chini ya NASA Artemis Misheni ya Kimataifa. Kifungio cha hewa ni chumba cha kati kilicho na milango miwili isiyopitisha hewa ambayo huruhusu kupita kati ya maeneo ya shinikizo tofauti za hewa.
Earlier in 2020, European Nafasi Agency (ESA) had partnered with NASA kuchangia moduli za makazi na kuongeza mafuta kwenye Lango.
Gateway will be humanity’s first nafasi station in deep nafasi, kuzunguka outpost in near- rectilinear halo obiti (NRHO) around the Moon. It will act as the point of aggregation for crewed vehicle, Human landing system, logistic supply craft and vehicles transiting further into deep nafasi kwa Mars and will provide vital support for a long-term human presence on the Moon and beyond on Mars. Habitation module, Refuelling module, Power and Propulsion Element, Airlock, Robotic system, are some important components of the Gateway.
Gateway, alongwith Nafasi Launch System, Orion spacecraft, Human Landing System, Surface Operations, Exploration Ground Systems, Nafasi Communications & Navigation, Surface Mobility, Spacesuits, and Surface Infrastructure form important components of Artemis mission hardware.
Artemis Moon Mission will build a base camp on the mwandamo surface to give astronauts a home to live and work on the Moon. This nly create long-term human presence on and around the Moon in preparation for human missions and habitations on Mars. Artemis is a beginning towards deep nafasi human habitation for making humans a multi-sayari spishi.
