Australia's key role in Artemis 2 moon mission

NASA's Artemis 2 mission marks humanity's first return to lunar orbit in over 50 years, sending four astronauts on a 10-day journey aboard the Orion spacecraft to test systems for future deep space missions. Australia plays a crucial role through the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, one of three main sites communicating with the Orion capsule, with Australian companies also contributing components to the spacecraft. The mission serves as a critical test ahead of plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2028.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
