What's Next For NASA's Quest To Put Man Back On The Moon?
On The Science Briefing
Artemis 1 - the first stage of NASA's mission to put humans back on the moon - was a success.
NASA's Orion crew module tumbled through the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of over 40,000 km/h on Sunday, December 11, before landing safely in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico.
Artemis I is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human exploration to the Moon and Mars - but there's a long way to go yet.
Dr Sophie Calabretto spoke to Cosmos Magazine journalist Matthew Agius on The Science Briefing about what the Artemis 1 spacecraft did while it was up there, what we've learnt so far and what comes next for NASA's boldest lunar mission to date.
