On this episode of Exlabs Presents: The Explorers Lab Podcast we'll be focusing on NASA's Artemis missions and their plans for landing on the moon. First, we'll be discussing the Artemis 1 mission, which was an uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. This mission paved the way for future crewed missions to the moon. Next, we'll explore the Artemis 2 mission, which will be the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft and will pave the way for the Artemis 3 mission. Artemis 3 will be the first crewed lunar landing since the Apollo missions in the 1970s and will be a historic moment in space exploration. We will break down the mission's objectives and what we can expect from this historic event.

Next, we'll dive into some of NASA's other moon missions and the key technologies they're using to make them a success. From oxygen generation to filtering ice from the moon's regolith, we'll be examining the exciting innovations that are making lunar exploration possible. We will also be talking about the Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment (PRIME-1) and how it's paving the way for future lunar mining operations.

Finally, we'll wrap up the episode with a discussion of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and its role in understanding the potential impact of asteroids on Earth. DART's mission goal is to demonstrate the capability to redirect the path of a hazardous asteroid by striking it with a spacecraft at high speed.
