Nasa Ailing Viper Undertaking Later Spending 450 Million Buck


The world’s largest space agency NASA is struggling with the lack of budget. According to a report, NASA has scored its upcoming robotic mission, VIPER. The full name of the Viper is Votelles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover. This rover was to be launched near the southern pole of the moon. NASA wanted the rover to find the ice reserves by reaching there. The mission was proposed for 100 days, which was to be launched by 2025. It is being said that NASA has either scored the mission or potentially sold to the industry.

According to the Spacedotcom report, the decision to eliminate the Viper mission was taken on 17 July at a teleconds. NASA is expected to save $ 84 million from the cancellation of the mission. The program has so far spent about 450 million dollars (about 37 billion rupees) in this program, which does not include the launch cost.

Canceling the program by reaching such a distance can be disappointing for the space agency. However, the emphasis of his leadership is that the work done on the program was successful. The mission has been abolished only because of the budget.

According to the report, at the time when the Viper Mission was abolished, the rover was fully prepared and undergone environmental testing. This testing confirms whether the rover will be able to withstand the rigorous environment of space. The space agency is now seeing how to re -use the scientific instruments installed in the VIPER.

NASA is confident that by the moon missions sent in the future, she will achieve the goals that would be fulfilled by the VIPER mission. Many moon missions of Space Agency are proposed. Artemis is prominent among them. Under this, there is a preparation to send humans to the moon once again.
