We will explore how Artemis II will scout out the lunar environment to help us prepare for astronaut activities, including the variety of challenges the Moon presents, from extremely cold temperatures to radiation at the surface. Participants will engage in surveys and discussions that show the complexity of mission site planning and exploration logistics!
