Animated Flight Path of Artemis II and comparison with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Apollo mission orbits.

These models of the Moon are made with imagery and topographic data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been studying and mapping the lunar surface since 2009. The models are intended for use in web interactives, augmented reality (AR) applications, and animations. ||

Scientists have discovered that water is being released from the moon during meteor showers. When a speck of comet debris strikes the moon it vaporizes on impact, creating a shock wave in the lunar soil. For a sufficiently large impactor, this shock wave can breach the soil’s dry upper layer and release water molecules from a hydrated layer below. The LADEE spacecraft detects these water molecules as they enter the tenuous lunar atmosphere. ||

Dr. Kelsey Young is the Artemis Science Flight Operations Lead and works at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.Complete transcript available.Dr. Young discusses the JETT5 mission, which was conducted May 13-17. During JETT5, astronauts performed a series of simulated moonwalks in the San Francisco Volcanic Field near Flagstaff, Arizona, while flight controllers and scientists at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas guided and provided feedback on their progress. JETT5 was designed to prepare crew members for the historic Artemis III mission that will land near the Moon’s south pole.00:00:00:00 – What is your role in NASA’s Artemis missions?00:00:58:03 – What was the JETT5 mission, and what activities did it include?00:01:49:03 – Why are mission simulations like JETT5 critical?00:02:32:20 – Why was Arizona chosen as the site of the JETT5 field test?00:03:44:18 – Why were the field tests conducted both in daytime and at night?00:04:39:13 – Where were Mission Control team members and scientists located?00:05:21:26 – What is the Science Evaluation Room for the Artemis missions?00:06:10:17 – What are the activities and roles within the Science Evaluation Room?00:06:49:00 – What science payloads will the Artemis crew deploy on the lunar surface?00:07:22:28 – What goes into creating a scientifically well-trained crew member? || Kelsey_Young_Interview_Preview_print.jpg (1024x576) [89.8 KB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_Preview.png (3840x2160) [11.8 MB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_Preview.jpg (3840x2160) [2.7 MB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_Preview_searchweb.png (320x180) [76.3 KB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_Preview_thm.png (80x40) [6.6 KB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_JETT5_720.mp4 (1280x720) [122.5 MB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_JETT5_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [685.7 MB] || KelseyYoungInterviewJETT5.en_US.srt [14.0 KB] || KelseyYoungInterviewJETT5.en_US.vtt [13.4 KB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_JETT5_4K.mp4 (3840x2160) [4.2 GB] || Kelsey_Young_Interview_JETT5_ProRes.mov (3840x2160) [32.5 GB] ||
