NASA Delays Project to Build a Rocket That Will Bring Astronauts to the Moon

NASA is reorganizing the agenda for launching their space mission related to the COVID-19 pandemic. They try to prioritize certain missions and programs to ensure the safety of many people.

So far, the planned launch of the Mars rover, Perseverance and the Mars Helicopter, is still scheduled for July. All work related to planning for the International Space Station (ISS) is also continuing - including the training program and launch plan for NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, as well as two Russian cosmonauts, on April 9.


Even so, the head of NASA, Jim Bridenstine, said there was a delay in the launch of the next space rocket, namely the Space Launch System (SLS). It is the largest rocket in the world that will carry the next man to the Moon.

"NASA will temporarily halt production and testing of the SLS, as well as the Orion spacecraft hardware," said Jim.

"NASA and the construction team will stop working first. Put all devices in a safe condition until work can resume," he added.


The SLS rocket is scheduled to launch the Artemis I Orion spacecraft as part of the Artemis mission. First they will go to the Moon, then one day to Mars. Although production and testing of the SLS has been postponed for now, assembly is continuing on the Artemis II Orion spacecraft.

"We will look after our workers. That's the first priority, "said Jim in a statement.

“When there is work that requires on-the-spot presence, it is difficult or impossible to comply with guidelines for staying at home in light of this pandemic. However, if it is dangerous, we are forced to postpone the work, ”he concluded.
