“NASA is called to land American astronauts, including the first woman and the next man, on the Moon by 2024. We’re committed to achieving this bold goal. Through the Artemis program, we will go to the Moon in a way we have never gone before – with innovative new partnerships, technologies and systems to explore the entire lunar surface. Then we will use what we learn on the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.”
- NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine
Think you have issues with sibling rivalry? Or do you get along with your favorite brother or sister? NASA has named its new program to return to the Earth’s moon “Artemis”, the twin sister of Apollo and Greek mythological goddess of the Moon. With plans to land the first woman and next man on the Lunar South Pole by 2024, U.S. space policy provides the direction for NASA to more effectively organize government, commercial and international efforts to develop a sustainable presence on the Moon and beyond. Come hear one of NASA’s senior managers talk about NASA’s exploration campaign which cuts across three strategic areas: low-Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars & deeper into space and how American leadership will drive an open, sustainable and agile architecture, with international and commercial partners, to get astronauts back on the lunar surface as quickly as possible via the Artemis Program.
