#moonlanding — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow morning, Australia will play a vital role in supporting #ArtemisII through the @canberradsn - the CDSCC (and as part of Australia's national science agency, CSIRO)

I spoke with folks at CDSCC, along with Associated Prof. Alice Gorman (Dr Space Junk), folks at NASA and more about this historical mission.

The CDSCC is not the only Aussie team that is working with the Artemis II mission - researchers from the Australian National University are also testing emerging technology that allows data to be transmitted via lasers, instead of radio waves at Mount Stromlo.

Importantly, Artemis II is going to set some new records that have not been attempted for 54 years.

And for the first time, the first woman, the first person of colour and the first non-American will travel to lunar space.

Godspeed, humans! Ad Astra!

Top level peeps at Blue Origin told employees they are "pausing" flights of its New Shepard rocket to focus resources on "human lunar capabilities" aka future missions to land humans on the moon. Employees indicate they think this is the cancellation of the program. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/30/nx-s1-5694644/blue-origin-pauses-space-tourism-flights-to-focus-on-lunar-lander #Space #BlueOrigin #NewShepard #Moon #MoonLanding #Rocket #SpaceTravel #SpaceCraft #SpaceTourism

Intuitive Machines' Nova-C lander, part of NASA's CLPS initiative, has successfully transmitted its first images from space. Scheduled for a lunar touchdown on February 22, this mission marks the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the moon in over 50 years and the first under NASA's Artemis program. Equipped with six NASA payloads, it aims to gather vital data for future lunar exploration.
