Navigating NASA's Artemis Missions and DART: A Journey to a New Frontier on the Moon
02/10/23 • 65 min
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.

Emerging Opportunities for Industry Outsiders with Jason Achilles - Episode 3
Jason Mezilis, professionally known as Jason Achilles, is a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and space enthusiast who is known for his innovative work in music and video and audio recording technologies for space exploration. His work can be found on digital streaming platforms, as well as on the Moon and in the future, on Mars and Venus.
The space industry has traditionally been dominated by government agencies and large corporations, but there are increasing examples of outsiders making significant contributions to space exploration and technology. These outsiders include organizations like the Inspiration4 mission, which is crewed by a diverse group of individuals including a physician assistant and a geoscientist.
One of the main benefits of the space economy is the potential to address a range of challenges on Earth, including food shortages, environmental issues, and health concerns. Access to space technology can also help to improve the efficiency and sustainability of industries like agriculture, by allowing for more precise monitoring of crops and potential threats to harvests. There is a need for more diverse and inclusive participation in the space industry, as it has the potential to bring significant benefits to humanity. This includes opportunities for individuals and companies to develop and utilize new technologies, as well as for educators to teach about space-related topics and inspire the next generation of space explorers.
On the episode, Jason shares with us emerging opportunities for industry outsiders. We cover topics from how and when should companies take advantage of their greater access to space and pursue emerging use cases What benefits can the space economy bring to earth Where do you see the biggest need upcoming in the space economy?
Jason has also worked on full 16-minute audio captured on Sol 16 by the DPA 4006 capsule onboard the Mars Perseverance rover, released by NASA/JPL on Mar. 17, 2021. Audio has been processed to filter out electrical interference caused by various internal systems, while preserving clarity of the actual sounds being captured through the Martian atmosphere.
