The United States has decided on the date of landing on the moon

1
It became known that the United States plans to carry out a manned mission (landing) to the moon in 2028. This is stated in the draft NASA budget for 2020, published on March 11, 2019 (the next fiscal year in the United States begins on October 1 of the previous year).



We will go to the moon in the next decade with innovative, new technology and systems to explore more places on the surface of the moon than ever before. This time, when we go to the moon, we will stay there. We will use what we learn on the moon for the next giant leap - sending astronauts to Mars

- Optimistic and promisingly said the head of NASA Jim Brydenstein.

Brandenstein said that the stay of the future expedition to the moon will last about a week. He noted that the NASA budget allows for flights to the moon in conjunction with both international partners (states) and commercial partners (private entities). At the same time, the lunar program itself will become the forerunner of the flight to Mars, which is planned for 30 years of the XXI century.

So, for the 2020 fiscal year, NASA's budget is planned at $ 21 billion, which is 6% more than the 2019 budget. Moreover, the lunar program accounts for about 50% of NASA's total budget. Of this money, $ 363 million is planned to be spent on financing programs of various private companies from the United States that are developing spacecraft for the delivery of goods and astronauts.

It should be recalled that in the foreseeable future, NASA plans to build a full-fledged space station called “Gateway” in orbit of the Moon, together with partners. At the station, four astronauts / astronauts can simultaneously be located. The duration of each expedition will be up to 90 days.

The station should become the base for future astronaut flights on landing vehicles (modules) to the lunar surface. The construction of this space object should begin in 2022, and the first manned flight into the orbit of the moon (not to be confused with the landing) should take place in 2024.

It should be added that the acceleration of the lunar program of NASA was given by US President Donald Trump. It was he who in December 2017 announced the resumption of manned flights to the moon, after a break from 1972.

By the way, Japan intends to send its astronaut to the moon by 2030. The first Chinese manned flight to the moon is scheduled for 2036. About the Russian lunar program we told earlier. After all, the Moon is an important step towards the study of deep space.

    The author is well done, and the flight of our satellite in August 23 indicates that the satellite was sent to the moon now, this is not just a coincidence ...
    Look, if in the near future the United States does not slow down in Ukraine, then blackmail about the lies of flying to the moon like America failed, and ours will never tell the truth, because the whole world will know that the USSR and the USA were in collusion on the lunar scam.
    I think that America will surrender Ukraine, she does not need this shame now ...
    PS Because of this lunar scam, the USSR collapsed!
