America will go to the moon again with this spacecraft

America plans to go to the moon again with a spacecraft named Peregrine. The last time Americans traveled to the moon was five decades ago with the Apollo mission.

50 years ago, the United States went to the moon for the last time with the Apollo mission, and now in the near future it plans to travel to the moon again with the help of a spacecraft named Peregrine. This mission is supposed to be carried out on January 25 this year, ie 5 Bahman.

America's return to the moon with the Peregrin spacecraft

The United States of America will return to the moon again after 50 years with the help of the unmanned Peregrine spacecraft on January 25 or 5 February. This spacecraft is the first spacecraft that a private company puts on the moon; Of course, it goes without saying that previously the Japanese private company ispace planned to land on the moon, but it failed and the rocket fell. The Peregrine spacecraft will fly into space on December 24 or 3 in Florida on a ULA-built Vulcan Centaur rocket.

Astrobotic CEO John Thornton said the spacecraft will carry instruments to study the moon for future manned Artemis missions. According to published reports, NASA had required American companies to send certain instruments to the moon for testing in order to return to the moon. Under this plan, which is called CLPS plan, services are sent and performed for the month, which have a low price.

“We're a private company in this field, and keeping the cost of doing things down to a fraction of current and past costs is critical to sending and landing spacecraft on the moon,” Thornton says. According to statistics, about half of the missions to the moon have been successfully completed, and due to the fact that we are a private company, the excitement and risk of doing these things are more for us.

It takes several days to reach the moon's orbit, and to land on the moon's surface, due to the unfavorable light of the landing area, you have to wait until the fifth day of Bahan. All the landing processes of this spacecraft are automatic and the manufacturing company only supervises the process. To date, only the state-owned companies of the United States, Russia, China and India have successfully landed on the moon.

NASA also has contracts with other private companies such as Firefly Aerospace and Draper and Intuitive Machines for lunar missions. The Intuitive Machines lander will go to the moon on one of the SpaceX rockets this January. NASA recognizes that these types of missions have a high risk of failure, but CLPS plan manager Chris Culbert said if all lunar missions fail, NASA's plans have a positive impact on private infrastructure to stabilize the lunar economy.
