💡 গ্রহাণু 2024 YR4:
* গ্রহাণু 2024 YR4-কে প্রাথমিকভাবে এমন একটি নিয়ার-আর্থ অবজেক্ট (NEO) হিসেবে চিহ্নিত করা হয়েছিল যার 2032 সালের ডিসেম্বরে পৃথিবীর বুকে আছড়ে পড়ার খুব সামান্য সম্ভাবনা ছিল।
কিন্তু নাসার পরবর্তী ট্র্যাকিং এবং পর্যবেক্ষণে এটি নিশ্চিত করা হয়েছে যে এর থেকে কোনো বিপদের আশঙ্কা নেই।
* এটি পৃথিবী এবং চাঁদ উভয়কেই নিরাপদে অতিক্রম করবে এবং চাঁদ থেকে প্রায় 21,200 কিলোমিটার দূরত্ব দিয়ে চলে যাবে।

Q.2> আর্টেমিস II মিশন, যা 2026 সালের এপ্রিল মাসে উৎক্ষেপণের জন্য নির্ধারিত, 1972 সালের পর কোন মহাকাশ সংস্থার প্রথম মানববাহী চন্দ্র অভিযান হতে চলেছে
Ans> নাসা (NASA)
💡 আর্টেমিস ২ মিশন সম্পর্কিত তথ্য:
* প্রধান মহাকাশ সংস্থা: নাসা (NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration), সাথে কানাডিয়ান স্পেস এজেন্সির (CSA) সহযোগিতা রয়েছে।
* তাৎপর্য: 1972 সালের অ্যাপোলো 17 (Apollo 17) মিশনের পর এটিই হবে চাঁদের উদ্দেশ্যে মানুষের প্রথম অভিযান।
* উৎক্ষেপণ: এটি 2026 সালের এপ্রিল মাসে উৎক্ষেপণ করার লক্ষ্যমাত্রা নির্ধারণ করা হয়েছে।
* মিশনের রূপরেখা: এটি একটি 10 দিনের মিশন (লুনার ফ্লাইবাই), যেখানে মহাকাশচারীরা পৃথিবী থেকে প্রায় 8,000 কিলোমিটার দূরে গিয়ে চাঁদের চারপাশ ঘুরে পৃথিবীতে ফিরে আসবেন।
* মহাকাশযান: মহাকাশচারীরা ‘ওরিয়ন’ (Orion) মহাকাশযানে ভ্রমণ করবেন, যা অত্যন্ত শক্তিশালী ‘স্পেস লঞ্চ সিস্টেম’ (SLS) রকেটের মাধ্যমে উৎক্ষেপণ করা হবে।
* মহাকাশচারী: এই চার সদস্যের ঐতিহাসিক ক্রুতে রয়েছেন নাসার রিড ওয়াইজম্যান (কমান্ডার), ভিক্টর গ্লোভার (পাইলট), ক্রিস্টিনা কোক (মিশন স্পেশালিস্ট) এবং কানাডিয়ান স্পেস এজেন্সির জেরেমি হ্যানসেন (মিশন স্পেশালিস্ট)।
