Artemis

Humanity is returning to the moon with the first crewed mission since Apollo 17 fifty four years earlier.

On the 11th of September 2024 these are the science and space headlines we’re following on Talkin’ Science.. The Search for Dark Matter gets new parameters, Japan’s SLIM mission is...

The first clear images of the Odysseus lander on the lunar surface have been released, a week on from it's semi-successful soft landing.

Cosmonauts have fixed a leak in one of the oldest modules on the Space Station. Russia and China sign up to build their own station in lunar orbit and dust found in the Chicxulub Crater confirms the cause of the dinosaur extinction.

As The History Channel announces a new documentary series focusing on Star Trek, in time for the franchises 55th anniversary, Nicholas Meyer speaks about his Trek movie pitch, just days after Paramount taps a writer to get started, Kate Mulgrew talks Prodigy and the Aussie Space Agency announces it's third initiative to aid Artemis.

Plenty of news around Mars at the moment, plus NASA sets launch windows for two critical missions and scientists have found another planetoid in the outer solar system!

Data from a telescope mounted to 747 indicates water on the Moon, Kate Rubins votes from low Earth orbit - but it's a complicated and detailed process to record her ballot legally and Osiris-REx tags asteroid Bennu.

Several countries sign on to NASA's Artemis Accords, a new study suggests the moon helped Earth survive the sun's teenage years and a very close call for two bits of space junk over Antarctica.

It's Tuesday September 29 2020. This is Talkin' Science. Detailed images emerge of M-87's heart, a supermassive black hole, Artemis is on track for a return to the moon according to NASA and analysing archive data pays off for researchers... finding three salt water lakes on Mars.

A faint detection at Ligo and Virgo points to the formation of an intermediate mass black hole. Scientists analysing deep sea samples find evidence of supernova remnants. And the moon's get rusty, probably because of Earth's protective magnetotail...

It's a real concern in both directions of travel as we set our minds to further missions to Mars and the Artemis program, space contamination could spell disaster not only for what lies preserved on the worlds of our solar system, but what these sample return missions (and crewed return missions) can bring back to Earth.

Welcome to another edition of Talkin' Science uncut, where we produce live the entire show from start to finish on Saturday mornings.

As we gear up for next week's crewed Dragon test flight, NASA is looking further ahead by putting out the rules for companies and countries collaborating on the Artemis missions to the moon. Interestingly the US hasn't signed the treaty as yet...

As astronomers uncover the complexities surrounding galaxy PKS 2014-55, we're learning details about China's "whoopsie" as the core stage of their new rocket lands close to New York City and NASA sets down the ground rules for the Artemis missions to the moon...

We're live across social media this morning for this week's uncut edition of Talkin' Science.

SpaceX and Blue Origin have been awarded contracts by NASA to aid in their Artemis missions to the moon.

While NASA remains undecided on whether the Gateway station around the moon will actually go ahead, they've awarded SpaceX's Dragon XL capsule the contract of getting cargo into lunar orbit to aid the Artemis missions.

This week, we've got details of SpaceX's Dragon XL capsule, OneWeb declaring bankruptcy and the US Space Force's first launch!

Our final story of the week sees Airbus quietly achieving it's targets with Artemis' crew capsule.
