Washington: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has chosen its first commercial partner for a proposed space station, which is named as Lunar Gateway and it would be build near moon.

Not only this, the NASA on Thursday has announced that by 2024, they will send humans on ‘Red Planet’ if they go to Mars they will actually stay there.

The NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine announced that first component of Gateway will be build by Maxar technology. The name of the component is power and propulsion element. It will provide electricity to Gateway and will help it to move around.

At the time of making announcement Brodenstine said “This time when we go to the Moon, we are actually going to stay”. He told that the Gateway is going to be in high and elliptical orbit balance between Earth and Moon’s gravity which would be like reusable Command Module. Once the Lunar Gateway is build, astronauts will first take it’s trial keeping in mind safety of humans and then others will land to the Lunar surface by 2024 according to NASA’s plan.

On Thursday, Bridenstine gave hour guidance about NASA moon plan in Florida institute of technology for simple contract award. This announcement gave us an idea that the Lunar Gateway paln is in continuation which started at time of Obama’s administration. First step was taken toward Mars in Obama’s administration and now Donald Trump is continuing this initiative by turning toward Lunar surface.

Heated debate took place in Aerospace community regarding Gateway. It argued saying that gateway which add delta-v-energy which is needed to reached Lunar surface, will help or will hinders NASA’s efforts to build a sustainable deep-space exploration program. It is clear that change concept of Gateway is successfully accepted so far.

The contract is worth 375 million dollars. Maxar announced that Blue Origin and Draper will join the team for designing, building, operating spacecraft. This generates possibility of launching Power and Propulsion element in Blue Origin new Glenn rocket which weigh 5 tons and they are fully fueled.

Maxar’s Mike Gold said the company would choose a commercial rocket for the power and propulsion element launch in the next 12 to 18 months. Most likely, New Glenn is the favored launch vehicle, however, Maxar is protecting itself in case that rocket is not ready to fly in 2022 when NASA wants this hardware in space.
