Nasa after the first unsuccessful attempts to launch Orion space capsule, which would be after 2030 may have traveled to Mars, this time successful. This is a big step, say NASA experts. After yesterdays failed attempt to launch rockets with a new capsule Orion is NASA today to try again. At exactly 13:05, the Delta IV Heavy rocket rose into the sky. This is a big step towards the realization of a future trip to Mars. As we reported yesterday was the first attempt to launch scheduled at 13:05, but they were surprised by boat, which occurred in the vicinity of launchers. Time the launch was moved to 12 minutes. Then the Verification standby perceived stronger wind at ground level, which represented a new risk, which is why the procedures were again interrupted. Later, there were also technical errors, but they did not resolve, so they need to launch postponed to today. Orion, as named by capsule, the space taken her Delta IV Heavy rocket, which with its 733 tonnes currently the biggest NASA rocket. The capsule will be at this time even without crew traveled as 5,800 miles away in space, which is much longer than the trajectory of the International Space Station, which is located approximately 360 kilometers from Earth. You will then be contacted with a speed of over 32,000 kilometers per hour entered back into the atmosphere, and after four and a half hours of launching parachute landed in the Pacific Ocean. Comparison of Apollo and Orion capsules As is evident from a comparison of NASAs Apollo and Orion capsule, the more differences between them. The Apollo can be traveled only three astronauts. Much easier Orion capsule is built for at least four astronauts to the International Space Station can it travels to six people. This is a test capsule in which man could travel to Mars As they say at NASA, this is the first real test of the capsule before the planned future ventures, which include the landing astronauts on an asteroid or even Mars. Former NASA astronaut Charlie Bolden for ABC News said that the 300 million euros a difficult test flight into space, a big step towards the realization of the journey of the first human crew to Mars. The capsule is equipped with 1200 sensors, which will be constantly measured its status. During the trip will is exposed to high radiation radiation belts when entering the atmosphere as well as a temperature of about 2200 degrees Celsius. NASA engineers will launch this test to check what the impact would be subject to a human crew. Kelly Smith, one of the participating NASA experts say that the space shuttles like ours used in previous years would not be able to return to Earth with such remote areas of the universe. Absolutely not endure pritistkom and heat. Orion was built mation that can defy even the most impossible conditions, he explained. The first astronauts could sit Orion 2021 As they say at NASA, is expected to 2017 unmanned fly round the moon. 2019 intending to catch a small asteroid and brought to the lunar orbit. If all this will be able to make the first astronauts in a capsule Orion space travel in 2021. In subsequent years, stepped on that asteroid, 2030 is expected to human crew in a capsule arrived even on Mars. There should try to produce oxygen and carry out further research.
