We are proud of the support we are able to provide to an innovative leader like NASA and remain dedicated to delivering operational excellence to the Artemis program and NASA’s pursuit to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon, and to space exploration beyond the moon.” Air Liquide in the United StatesĪir Liquide employs more than 20,000 people in the U.S. ![]() Our expertise in gas applications for the space industry has made Air Liquide a major contributor to space exploration for 60 years. ![]() Mike Graff, Chairman & CEO, American Air Liquide Holdings, Inc., said: “Air Liquide is committed to the innovation and advancement of the space program not only in the United States but across the globe. soil since the shuttle program ended in 2011. The continuous supply of nitrogen has been integral to the lunar missions of the 1970’s, the thirty year Space Shuttle program, the construction of the International Space Station, and most recently the first commercial launches of crew and cargo to orbit from U.S. space program through the supply of high pressure nitrogen. In the U.S., for over 50 years, dating back to the Apollo era missions in 1968, Air Liquide has played a valuable role in NASA’s advancement of the U.S. Air Liquide’s flexible and reliable supply of high-pressure nitrogen will help NASA meet its commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond. The expansion of Air Liquide’s Merritt Island capabilities played a critical role in the launch’s success, as the Artemis launch required nearly double the amount of high-pressure nitrogen than any previous launch. Air Liquide’s support of NASA’s Artemis program drove an expansion of the capabilities of the Group’s Merritt Island, Florida, site and a renewed ten-year contract with NASA.Īrtemis 1 is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions as NASA conducts integrated tests of their deep space exploration systems. The board released its findings last November and a review of NASA and JPL’s response in an update released May 30.Ĭhanges made since the delay include reorganization of the JPL workforce and improving senior management oversight of the mission.On November 16, Air Liquide supported the successful launch of the historic Artemis 1 mission through the supply of high-pressure nitrogen to Launch Complex-39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The review board targeted both issues with Psyche probe team and the JPL based at Caltech as a whole that it said contributed to the delay. Launch costs to use the Falcon Heavy were separate. NASA selected three winners out of nine finalists in the second annual Power to Explore Challenge, a national competition for elementary through high school students. Before the delay, the mission cost had topped $850 million for the development, operation and science. Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977, from the NASA Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida, propelled into space on a Titan/Centaur rocket. 5-23 and the probe itself has been in Florida since last April, but additional work was required to make it ready that forced it to miss the 2022 launch opportunities. But because it missed the launch window last year, this year’s launch, if it goes well, means it won’t arrive at the asteroid until 2029. Psyche was supposed to launch last summer so that it could rendezvous with a metal-rich asteroid also named Psyche that lies between Mars and Jupiter in 2026. ![]()
