NASA to Stream Artemis I Rollout, Briefings on Science, Tech Payloads

Aug. 10, 2022

Among the many payloads being discussed will be NEA Scout, a Marshall Space Flight Center mission with JPL’s Julie Castillo-Rogez serving as the science principal investigator.

NASA will hold a trio of media teleconferences the week of Aug. 14 to preview the science and technology payloads that will fly as part of the agency’s Artemis I flight test. NASA also will provide livestream coverage of Artemis I’s move to the launch pad ahead of its targeted no-earlier-than-Monday, Aug. 29, liftoff.

Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test, the first in a series of increasingly 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 a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone to send astronauts to Mars.

Ten shoebox-size secondary payloads, called CubeSats, are hitching a ride to space on Artemis I’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and several other investigations are flying inside the Orion spacecraft during the flight test. Each of the payloads will perform science and technology experiments in deep space, expanding understanding of lunar science, technology developments, and deep space radiation.

Audio of all three briefings will livestream on NASA’s website. The briefings include (all times Eastern):

Monday, Aug. 15

5 p.m. – Lunar science payloads teleconference with the following participants:

  • Dr. Jacob Bleacher, NASA chief exploration scientist
  • Craig Hardgrove, principal investigator, LunaH-Map, Arizona State University
  • Tatsuaki Hashimoto, project manager for OMOTENASHI, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
  • Ryu Funase, project manager for EQUULEUS, JAXA
  • Ben Malphrus, NASA principal investigator, Lunar IceCube
  • Joseph Shoer, architect for Small Sat missions, Lockheed Martin

Tuesday, Aug. 16

Noon – Technology demonstration and solar system science payloads teleconference with the following participants:

  • Patrick Troutman, strategy and architectures liaison for NASA’s Moon to Mars Architecture Development Office
