<h5>NASA’s plan unveiled!</h5><p>Train journeys with our friends and families can be fun. It’s like a mini adventure for us.</p><p>But a train system on the Moon sounds unreal, right? Well, NASA disagrees. It has decided to build a train system on the lunar surface.</p><p>NASA says a transport system will be critical for the functioning of a lunar base camp that they plan to build on the Moon.</p><h5>How will the train system work?</h5><p>The train system on the Moon will be different from what we have on Earth. The system is named FLOAT, or Flexible Levitation on a Track.</p><p>NASA will build tracks, robots, and technology for the lunar train system. Under this system, the robots will float above and move around the tracks without touching them.</p><p>Another technology will be attached to the track that will help generate power for the base using sunlight. Unlike other robots that require touching the ground to move around, the FLOAT robots won’t touch the ground. So they won’t get dusty and worn out easily.</p><p>Also, the FLOAT track can be easily rolled out on the lunar surface and rolled back up to be placed elsewhere as needed. Using it, the robots will help deliver various things, like research supplies. Cool, right? NASA is already developing and testing the FLOAT system.</p><h5>A base camp on the Moon?</h5><p>NASA has plans to set up a base camp on the Moon as part of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/new-spacesuits-for-upcoming-nasa-moon-mission">Artemis mission</a> to help with future space exploration.</p><p>Astronauts staying at the base camp will conduct various experiments to test technologies to help humanity in future space exploration of Mars and other planets. It will also have vehicles that will allow lunar surface exploration.</p><h5>About NASA’s Artemis mission.</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/nasa-s-new-moon-train%2FMoon.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=81eb5e45-ff1d-40c6-950f-889d8fc096e4"><figcaption>Buzz Aldrin on the moon.

It includes sending the first woman astronaut and the first person of colour to the Moon.</p><p>Under this mission, NASA will use various new technologies to study the Moon and prepare humans for further space missions to Mars.</p>

Not a train that connects the Earth and the Moon, but one that will run on the lunar surface.
