NASA, Army National Guard Partner on Flight Training for Moon Landing By Corinne BeckingerWhen Artemis astronauts land on the Moon’s South Pole in a commercial human landing system, they will encounter a landscape pockmarked with deep craters, sloped connecting ridges, and harsh lighting conditions. The Moon’s lack of contrast, combined with its rolling terrain, will also pose a challenge, making it difficult for astronauts to overcome […] The post NASA, Army National Guard Partner on Flight Training for Moon Landing first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
