NASA plans to land the first woman and the next man on the surface of the Moon with NASA’s Artemis missions. We will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap—sending astronauts to Mars. Join Nujoud Merancy, Chief of the Exploration Mission Planning Office at Johnson Space Center and learn about the upcoming Artemis I mission and future crewed missions to the Moon.
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
Join us at 2:00 PM in the William M. Allen Theater.
This event is FREE with Museum admission.
