CANADA: Following the recent success of explorations on Mars, NASA has unveiled a comprehensive report on how the American space agency plans to launch succeeding space missions to the red planet.
In its latest report, NASA’s Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration, the space agency discusses three primary thresholds that it expects to encounter during its planned journey to Mars. Each threshold features increasing levels of difficulty as humans travel farther from Earth.
Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA, said that the space agency has reached the closest it has ever been to deploying American astronauts to the red planet. He said that the release of their Journey to Mars report provides additional details as to how they align all of their work in order to achieve this goal.
Bolden added that he looks forward to discussing the outline of their plan with Congress members, as well as with NASA’s commercial and international partners who will take part in the International Astronautical Congress scheduled for next week.
According to NASA, it plans to manage the challenges of sending humans to Mars by developing and carrying out its mission capabilities in different stages.
