“I think they provide a very succinct description of why we’re doing what we’re doing, and especially how the Artemis missions to the moon are going to reduce the risk for future Mars missions,” Melroy said of the white papers. Those programs are linked to specific objectives, functions and use cases for those missions.Īlong with the architecture document, NASA released several white papers to explain aspects of the architecture, such as the use of the near-rectilinear halo orbit around the moon and the Gateway that will operate in it. The document describes how the various programs in development fit together to carry out those missions, such as the Space Launch System, Orion, Gateway and Human Landing System. “It provides more definition for plans through Artemis 4 and sets the stage for the first crewed missions to Mars.” “The architecture concept review details plans for early human exploration of the moon’s south pole,” she said.
