PROSPECTS FOR ORBITAL FLIGHTS TO THE MOON: NEW HORIZONS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

In recent decades, the Moon has attracted increasing attention as a potential target for orbital flights. In this article, we explore the prospects and opportunities for the development of orbital flights to the Moon, as well as identify the challenges faced by scientists and engineers in carrying out such missions. We look at various aspects such as technological innovation, scientific research, potential benefits for humanity and the impact on the environment. The discovery of new horizons in orbital flights to the Moon can lead to breakthroughs in our knowledge of space ecology, geology and astronomy, as well as create new opportunities for the development of technologies and resources that can be used on Earth and in space.
