The New Tech Heading To The ISS Will Change Human Space Exploration, Here’s How

The next commercial re-supply mission with Northrop Grumman will be delivering essentials to the ISS that could help us with instruments to live on the Moon, or even Mars. » Subscribe to Seeker!http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more Countdown to Launch: http://bit.ly/CTLplaylist The Cygnus spacecraft is about to hitch a ride atop Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket to deliver 2,000 kilograms of experiments and hardware to test on the International Space Station. These supplies are designed to push human space exploration forward, especially as we prepare for NASA’s Artemis mission and one day, hopefully, sending a crew to Mars. Scientists want to make a livable environment among the stars, but some of the biggest challenges they continue to face include communication delays, sustainability, and radiation exposure. So in order to combat these issues, some of the most thrilling investigations consist of utilizing a ‘space internet’ to remotely control an advanced rover from the European Space Agency, Made in Space’s Plastic Recycler, and a brand new, never space-tested before radiation-protection vest from Lockheed Martin and StemRad. These supplies are designed to push human space exploration forward, especially as we prepare for NASA’s Artemis mission and one day, hopefully, sending a crew to Mars. Between the super internet, haptic robots, and radiation-protection vests, it is sad to say these payloads are going to make drastic changes in the future of space mission technology. When the Antares rocket launches from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, we’ll be one step closer to improving our ability to stay and explore our solar system to the fullest capacity.
