NASA to release Artemis I launch, science briefings, tech payloads

Washington, August 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – NASA will hold three media teleconferences this week August 14 to preview the science and technology payload that will fly as part of the agency’s Artemis 1 flight test. NASA will provide live streaming coverage of Artemis 1’s launch pad ahead of schedule. Monday August 29 Rapture.

Artemis 1 was an unmanned flight test, the first in a series of complex missions to the Moon. Through Artemis, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon, paving the way for long-term lunar habitation and serving as a stepping stone to send astronauts to Mars.

Ten shoebox-sized secondary payloads called CubeSats are attempting to travel to space aboard the Artemis I’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and several other probes are flying aboard the Orion spacecraft during the flight test. Each payload will conduct science and technology experiments in deep space, expanding understanding of lunar science, technological advances, and deep space radiation.

Audio of all three briefings will be streamed live on NASA’s website. The summaries (always Eastern) include:
