Model Based on 6 Decades of Space Age Extrapolates Exploration Timeframe for Solar System & Beyond
Extending Artemis missions series into long-term trend, researchers Jonathan Jiang, Kristen Fahy (JPL) and Philip Rosen project future robotic and human landings on celestial objects beyond cislunar space based on algorithm combining historical data with exponential transistor increase (Moore’s Law) as computational power indicator; Forecasts include launches of human landing missions to Mars (2038), Main Asteroid Belt (2064), Jovian Moons (2076), Saturn System (2086), Tau Ceti (2270) and Trappist-1 (2290) star systems; Robotic mission halfway to Galaxy Center (4 kpc) predicted to launch by 2043
