NASA’s Artemis 1 Mission to the Moon Sets the Stage for Routine Space Exploration Beyond Earth’s Orbit – here’s what to expect and why it’s important

NASA’s Artemis 1 mission is poised to take a key step toward returning humans to the Moon after a half-century hiatus.

An international team of scientists has developed a method for seeing into the darkest regions of the Moon.

This critical flight test will send Orion farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever flown.

New data layers in NASA’s Moon Trek Portal allow these regions to be explored in exquisite detail.

Vertical solar arrays will help power exploration of the Moon under Artemis.

These regions are located near the lunar South Pole and contain diverse geologic features.

NASA announces opportunities for CubeSat developers, including educational institutions, to contribute to the agency’s exploration goals.

Watch as Dr. Phil Plait gleefully tears apart the 'evidence' that NASA faked the Apollo Moon missions. #NESF2022 #Fakenews
