The rover has been exploring mars for almost two years now. and eventually its samples will be returned back here on earth. nasa and the european space agency plan to of their vehicle tomorrow to launch the samples into orbit. and then a spacecraft would carry the back to earth. all of this focus on morris s tied to the relatively young field of astrologically. which focuses on the search for life in space, and potentially habitable worlds beyond earth. here to answer all of our burning questions, the editor in chief of space.com. i know he is the perfect guest because he has been to space camp. five times. all kidding aside, i know that you are going to be able to help us understand why these rock samples of the perseverance rover drug dug up are so important. and what it means for us earthlings. katie, this is really exciting because the perseverance rover the nasa built is the most advanced most capable car sized rover we have
Embassy she s go pretty smoothly at least. quite a moment to watch something like that happen. let s switch gears, and come back to earth. as long as it to. as russia has a long and hard close to winters and. ukraine remains in the dark. following a bombardment of russian shelling across the country. alison barbara has the latest from kharkiv, near the russian border. blackouts continue in regions all across kyiv, about 6 million customers are still without power. that is according to president zelenskyy. he says the number was a 50% this one is slowly coming. back the chairman says the energy system was already
Closest we ve gotten, absolutely. what s happening today with the spacecraft entering the lunar orbit. i know people can watch it, but what does it mean? 4:52 p.m. is when it s going to happen. every best buy and walmart should have it on the tv screens so people can see it. but the orion spacecraft is going to thrust into orbit around the moon. it s the most distant craft we ve ever sent into space. for six days it goes to half a large orbit and then it resumes the journey back to earth. i think it s going to be while the u.s. and england are playing in qatar. see what the stores decide to air. how close are we you know, is is this i have to turn myself to see this. this is the 81-mile shot. that s an amazing achievement
Loud and it turned night into day, literally stop it was so bright it overwhelmed all our cameras but it s got our dreams going back to the moon and that is really important for the future quite you mentioned the future quite you mentioned the future and tell us more about what this means for future travel, why this is so important? this mission has to succeed, the rocket has to succeed, the rocket has to succeed and orion has to succeed and orion has to succeed because there is only three mannequins on board, no people stopping the next mission item who will have four people but that can only happen if this mission goes perfectly. so the primary objective beyond launching the rocket is to orbit around the moon and bring the orion capital back to earth. is going to hit the earth. is going to hit the earth at 25,000 miles an hour and then it will descend through the atmosphere, slowdown three parachutes and land safely in the pacific ocean off the coast of california and they want to re
Because there s no people on board. there s only three manikins on board. the next mission, artemis 2, will have four people, three nasa astronauts and one canadian but that can only happen if this mission goes perfectly. so the primary objective, beyond launching the rocket, is to orbit around the moon, but bring the orion capsule back to earth. it s going to hit the earth at 25,000 miles an hour, and then it ll descend through the atmosphere, slow down on three parachutes and land safely in the pacific ocean off the coast of california. and they want to recover that capsule and see how it did. and that is the primary objective, recover this capsule so we can send astronauts next time in about two years so 2024. well, you mentioned two years. you also mentioned 25,000 miles an hour. that s going to be a bit ofa bumpy landing. what is it we hope to get out
Into day, literally. it was so bright, it overwhelmed all our cameras. but it s got our dreams going back to the moon and that is really important for the future. well, you mentioned the future. tell us more about what this means for future space travel, why this is so important. well, this mission has to succeed. the rocket has to succeed, and orion has to succeed because there s no people on board. there s only three manikins on board. the next mission, artemis 2, will have four people, three nasa astronauts and one canadian. but that can only happen if this mission goes perfectly. so the primary objective, beyond launching the rocket, is to orbit around the moon, but bring the orion capsule back to earth. it s going to hit the earth at 25,000 miles an hour, and then it ll descend through the atmosphere, slow down on three parachutes and land safely in the pacific ocean off the coast of california. and they want to recover that capsule and see how it did. and that is the primary
Really where the money shot is going to be, and we still don t have it yet, guys. we re waiting for it, but what you are going to see is an up-close view of the moon as the spacecraft flies over it. just 80 miles above the surface. victor and bianna, it also passed right over tranquility base which is where apollo 11 famously landed back in 1969, so we should be getting good images of that as well, but i think the big difference i should point out between apollo 11, the entire apollo program and this, the artemis program is that, you know, when those astronauts landed on tranquility base back in the 1960s and 70s, neil armstrong and buzz aldrin, they were just leaving flags and footprints and took some moon rocks and dust back to earth. now they want to build a base, establish permanent human presence and then someday go onto mars. this is a very different
Mission? it remind us of the purpose of this mission? , ., , ., ., mission? it is a few days to travel to the moon- mission? it is a few days to travel to the moon. and mission? it is a few days to travel to the moon. and then mission? it is a few days to travel to the moon. and then the - mission? it is a few days to travel- to the moon. and then the spacecraft basically has to get into orbit around the moon. it flies really, really close to the surface of the moon at 100 kilometres above it and thenit moon at 100 kilometres above it and then it swings out really far away on the other side, further away than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. any spacecraft built for humans has everflown. it any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. it will begin its journey back to earth and on the 11th of december, it should splash down in the ocean. that will be the end of this mission. no one is on board, this time. the capsule, the rocket, completely empty but astronauts
The moon. a lot of excitement. 0ne the moon. a lot of excitement. one of a network of antennas around the world, which will be tracking the spacecraft as it carries on with its journey. it is a spectacular start to the day. that launch, after waiting so long for this rocket to go waiting so long for this rocket to 9° up, waiting so long for this rocket to go up, seeing it will lift up and light up the sky and the roar of the engines was spectacular. everything from that point onwards happened seamlessly. all the parts of the rocket separated. it moved around the earth and burnt its engines for about 18 minutes to escape the earth s orbit and now it is on its way to the moon. the team at nasa can breathe a sigh of relief. the team here are a bit busy, keeping an eye on the spacecraft as it is journeying to the moon but they are three weeks ahead for this mission, they have a while to go! haifa three weeks ahead for this mission, they have a while to go! they have a while to go! how lo
