Back to EpisodesGoonhilly Tracks Artemis Two: UK's Lunar Comeback
Description
Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall, UK, is playing a pivotal role in NASAs Artemis Two mission, tracking the Orion spacecraft as it loops around the Moon. This mission, launching from Floridas Kennedy Space Center in early April, marks the first crewed flight to the Moon in over fifty years. Goonhillys technology will provide real-time support, building on their successful track record. The station, which previously broadcasted the Apollo Eleven Moon landing, is now teaming up with the UK Space Agency and NASA for real-time space weather monitoring, paving the way for future crewed trips and even Moon-to-Mars plans. With Cornwall back in the space game, Artemis Two is seen as a significant milestone, reigniting the old lunar fire.
