Part 3/7:
As part of this mission, NASA’s Artemis Missions will focus heavily on in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), which includes finding and using resources available on the Moon. Additionally, the lunar Gateway space station will serve as a deep-space outpost, enhancing our ability to access other celestial bodies, including Mars.
Expanding Robotic Presence on Mars
Simultaneously with its lunar endeavors, NASA plans to expand its robotic presence on Mars. The deployment of new rovers is crucial, but the headline technology will be flying machines capable of conducting surveys and gathering samples. Following the success of the Ingenuity drone, NASA is poised to implement more advanced airborne robotics to increase efficiency and reduce risks in Martian exploration.
