The Preliminary Lunar Science Report for Artemis II Is Out!
NASA shared 521 minutes of crew audio and nearly 12,000 images that document lunar observations and impact flashes from Artemis II.
- NASA released 521 minutes of real-time mission audio and nearly 12,000 high-resolution images from the Artemis II lunar flyby, providing an unprecedented look at the crew's historic journey around the Moon.
- Building on observations the crew made during their historic lunar flyby six months ago, NASA released this data to share findings with the public and inform future exploration strategies.
- During the lunar eclipse, the crew watched the Sun slip behind the Moon for 54 minutes, while astronauts reported seeing five faint "pinprick" bursts of light from 46,000 miles away.
- At the 77th International Astronautical Congress yesterday, lunar science lead Kelsey Young shared clips demonstrating how human observations enhance scientific records beyond robotic data alone.
- NASA associate administrator Nicky Fox said this data helps train future astronauts to make quick decisions in limited exploration time, adding that observations could assist in finding lunar water resources.
