What's next for space exploration after Artemis II? 🌒 Artemis II marked a historic moment; the first crewed journey around the Moon in more than 50 years. But it’s not the end of the story. This mission was a critical proving ground, testing the technology, systems and international partnerships needed for what comes next: future crewed missions, a return to the lunar surface, and the foundations of a sustained human presence on and around the Moon. The next phase of the Artemis program will build on these learnings, paving the way towards long‑term lunar exploration and, ultimately, missions to Mars. Australia is already part of that journey. We’re contributing world‑class science, space communications and mission support to help shape the future of space exploration. Here’s what’s next: https://lnkd.in/gAY4AheJ
