Airbus: builds 2nd spacecraft module
(CercleFinance.com) - Airbus announces that the second European Service Module (ESM-2) it built for NASA's Orion spacecraft is ready for delivery from the Airbus facility in Bremen, Germany.
An Antonov cargo plane will transport the ESM-2 to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the US.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Airbus as prime contractor for the development and manufacture of six ESMs, with the first one soon to be launched on NASA's Artemis I mission.
Working hand in hand with the ESA and NASA, and our industrial partner, Lockheed Martin Space, the program is advancing quickly and in preparation for the challenge of returning to the moon's surface in 2024, Airbus said.
