Africa-Press – Liberia. WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – NASA’s decision to cancel its almost half-a billion-dollar Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) project puts the entire Artemis Program to land US astronauts on the moon for the first time in five and a half decades at risk, analysts told Sputnik.
The US space agency announced earlier that it was pulling the plug on the already long-delayed, problem-plagued project that had been presented as a crucial preparation for the ambitious and also delayed manned Artemis missions to establish a permanent American base at the lunar South Pole.
Retired US Army Colonel Earl Rasmussen warned that NASA’s decision, which was presented as a cost-cutting measure to stay within the agency’s operating budget, put the entire Artemis program and vision at risk.
“I think the entire Artemis program is at risk,” Rasmussen, a political consultant and former vice president of the Eurasia Foundation said. “The rover and lander are key components. And both have technical, schedule, and cost challenges. Complex supply chains only complicated the situation more and increased overall risks.”
The Artemis Program now urgently needed a detailed review to include its objectives, team participants, technical challenges, schedule as well as costs, Rasmussen advised.
Cost issues were far from the only factors at work in the cancellation decision and the seriousness of supply chain production issues had not been sufficiently anticipated, Rasmussen observed.
“Perhaps cost is a driving factor: But I think there are many more we are not aware of; And that NASA may not be aware of. Multiple supply chain issues are potential indicators of hidden technical development challenges as well. The supply chain seems to be very complex, and a thorough examination needs to be taken of what are the underlying causes,” he said.
The VIPER Rover was already 18 months behind schedule when the cancellation was announced and more problems were likely before the Rover could ever become operational, Rasmussen explained.

This week NASA named four astronauts who have the right stuff. Their mission returned to the moon 50 years after the Apollo flight ended. The crew includes the first woman and first black astronaut on a lunar mission. The Artemis 3 mission to land humans on the moon for the first time since the Apollo program was previously set to complete this milestone by 2025. But it is now expected to not happen until at least September 2026. The space agency said that the primary reason for the delay includes two failed test flights in 2023. The tests in 2023 of Starship, which is the spacecraft that is expected to take astronauts from lunar orbits to the moon's south pole, both ended in explosions. What an astounding coincidence. Certainly, no one could have seen this coming. Let's call this report. Artemis Delay. Number one. Breaking news. July 26, 2024. The US Space Agency announced earlier that it was pulling the plug on the already long delayed, problem-plaged project that had been presented as a crucial preparation for the ambitious and also delayed mandatomist missions to establish a permanent American base at the lunar south pole. NASA's decision to cancel its almost $500 million, volatile investigating polar exploration rover. Retired US Army Colonel Earl Rasmussen warned that NASA's decision, which was presented as a cost-cutting measure to stay within the agency's operating budget. Put the entire Artemis program and vision at risk. No one could have seen this coming, right? Let's just call this. Artemis Delay. Number two.
