NASA unveils plan to setup 'Artemis', the first human base camp on Moon's south pole by 2024

Firstpost  

The space agency has put forward a plan showing what a US lunar presence may look like after the milestone. The report titled NASA’s Plan for Sustained Lunar Exploration and Development offers a summary of how the space agency will accomplish the 2024 moon landing mission. “For years to come, Artemis will serve as our North Star as we continue to work toward even greater exploration of the moon, where we will demonstrate key elements needed for the first human mission to Mars,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine in a statement released with the report. NASA says that they plan to conduct operations on and around the moon and for that they require Artemis Base Camp, which will be their first sustainable foothold on the lunar frontier.
