Artemis Learning Pathway

Science on the Moon 

In this online PD session, you will learn how to bring the excitement of Artemis I Special Cargo - the purposeful passengers and miniature satellites to your classrooms with hands-on activities and pedagogical recommendations.

The Purposeful Passengers on Artemis I flight named Campos - the Moonikin, Helga and Zohar – the phantom torsos will fly aboard Orion with sensors to gather data before the missions with astronauts. Along with data on acceleration and vibrations, they will collect important data on radiation necessary to ensure a safe flight for our Artemis astronauts.

The hands-on activity highlighted in this session will simulate space radiation shielding on a spacecraft and the selection of materials to build a spacecraft.  Materials List for Session 3: Here
