Crewless flight aimed at putting astronauts back on lunar surface, setting up base there
-
American space agency Nasa's next-generation rocketship was on course for a crewless voyage around the Moon and back, launched from Florida on its debut flight half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era.
The much-delayed launch kicked off Apollo's successor programme Artemis, aimed at returning astronauts to the lunar surface this decade and establishing a sustainable base there as a stepping stone to future human exploration of Mars.
The 32-storey Space Launch System (SLS) rocket surged off the launch pad from the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral on Wednesday to send its Orion capsule on a three-week test journey around the Moon and back without astronauts aboard.
