Mars' petrol pump will be built on the moon, NASA's 'Viper' rover going to find water
NASA goes to begin its next 'Moon Mission' to the moon. The goal of this mission is to make a permanent crew station on the lunar surface. For this, before sending an astronaut to the moon, the agency is launching a golf-court-sized robot at the moon's cold, shadowy South Pole. The name of this rover are going to be VIPER i.e. Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover.
This rover will spend 100 days in search of water sources on the surface of the Moon. this may be the primary survey associated with the South Pole of the Moon. Scientists now want to send humans to Mars because astronauts are to the Moon repeatedly. NASA is hoping to ascertain a permanent station there. In order that within the 2030s it will help with the primary manned mission to Mars.
Scientists want to grasp where water is present on the moon. Water will be attenuated into components, hydrogen and oxygen, and both are often used as propellent. an outsized amount of propellant would be needed to send humans to Mars. it's too heavy to be carried by rocket into space. To send humans to the 'Red Planet', NASA will must arrange fuel on the Moon.
"Where there's water, there's fuel," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said at the government building on Tuesday. It can act sort of a filling station for us in future. On Monday, NASA announced that it had selected VIPER's landing site where it might explore the filling station. This rover will land in a very mountainous area near the Moon's Nobel Crater. The US space agency plans to send it by 2023.
