Every science fiction buff knows at least two things about spaceships: They accept voice controls and support visual communications. But it turns out that neither is true today. However, with new technology that is being tested on the Artemis missions – NASA’s missions to return to the moon – NASA is taking a giant leap toward that futuristic vision of space communications.
While the moon is believed to be relatively unchanged since 1972, the technology to get there and back is completely different. The Orion spacecraft, with its capsule designed by Lockheed Martin, was launched at the Kennedy Space Center and is expected to return to Earth on December 11, as shared in this NASA blog.
