NASA is planning a new and great interstellar mission for the year 2069

Hello colleagues from this great community in this opportunity I come to bring you an interesting post about a great mission that NASA is planning is this is a great interstellar mission pair seeks to see if it finds life outside our great beautiful solar system, this mission will be for the purpose of an arrival in the alpha centauri system of three stars this is our closest system to us

This mission planned by NASA experts will be carried out in the year 2069 and for more NASA will be celebrating the centenary of a space mission called Apoyo 11, this mission was responsible for bringing human beings for the first time. Moon. And according to a report that was published by the scientific magazine New Scientist, this celebration that will be done could be accompanied by a launch of a spacecraft that will have a mission that will be very great and that would be looking alive in Another galaxy, this mission that will be carried out has not yet obtained a name and has not yet created most of the technology that is needed to achieve this mission that is being planned by NASA. The main thing that is required for this impressive mission is a ship that has the ability to travel at a minimum of 10% of the speed of light.

It is very nebulous, it was what New Scientist Anthony Freeman of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said is not very much the first planned sketches of this great mission was done by the laboratory at a Geophysical Union conference where the JPL He expelled the idea of ​​this project, and then later an internal president of I contribute with increasing the investment for this interstellar trip that is being planned. The constellation that was chosen is Alpha Centauri that is located at a distance of 4.4 light years from the planet earth, if one tenth of the speed of light can be achieved, having the opportunity to reach the system will remain the same distance of 44 years what may be the date of arrival in our nearest system would be in the year 2113, this world has not been considered a perfect place to find extraterrestrial life, as the star around which it turns emits bursts of radiation that would make conditions inhospitable.

Well the first thing that must be accomplished in this great mission that is being planned for the year 2069 is to achieve a spacecraft that manages to reach through space at the speed that is required to reach the expected goal, New Scientist says, that NASA may If you are considering sending tiny laser-powered probes for example you can also reach a quarter of the speed of light, you can also reach them by collisions between antimatter and matter. It should be clarified that these technologies that were named none exist at this time, until now the only interstellar ship has been Voyager 1, and was launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is 18,800 million kilometers from Earth. It advances at a speed of only 61,000 kilometers per hour, this is less than 1 percent of the speed of light.
