Lockheed Martin Corporation announced a significant milestone in NASA's Artemis campaign with the successful powering on of the Artemis III spacecraft's computers. This marks the first activation of the two vehicle management computers and six power and data units within the crew module, confirming the functionality of the core avionic systems crucial for the mission. The milestone highlights the collaboration between Lockheed Martin and NASA and sets the stage for a lunar landing in 2027 with a crew of four. The Orion spacecraft's advanced flight computers, 20,000 times faster than those used in the Apollo missions, underscore its capacity for deep space exploration. Over the coming months, the Orion team will complete the integration of 70 avionics components and conduct rigorous testing to ensure the spacecraft is prepared for the challenges of space.
