From the European Lunar Symposium 2023: Watch a talk by Dr. Jack Burns about Transformative Radio Science & Astrophysics from the Moon using NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services Landers from June 27, 2023.
From The Space Review: Lunar exploration is undergoing a renaissance. Dozens of missions, organised by multiple space agencies—and increasingly by commercial companies—are set to visit the Moon by the end of this decade. Most of these will involve small robotic spacecraft, but NASA’s ambitious Artemis program aims to return humans...
From NASA: FarView is a low frequency (5-40 MHz) radio telescope array comprised of 100,000 dipole antennas, dispersed over ~ 200 km2. The observatory is manufactured in-situ, utilizing Lunar Resources’ developed technologies that first extract metals (along with oxygen) from lunar regolith then manufacture most of the required elements of...
From NASA: To carry multiple payloads to the far side of the Moon including a satellite to orbit that area, NASA has selected Firefly Aerospace of Cedar Park, Texas. The commercial lander will deliver two agency payloads, as well as communication and data relay satellite for lunar orbit, which is...
From the Royal Society of London: Watch a special talk by Dr. Jack Burns about Low Radio Frequency Science From the Moon with NASA Lunar-landed Telescopes from February 13, 2023.
From Wisconsin Public Radio: NASA's Artemis 1 rocket lifted off on November 16 after multiple postponements. The mission sets the stage for humans to revisit the Moon after 50 years away, and for exploration further in space. An astrophysics expert, Dr. Jack Burns explains. Listen to the interview.
From the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy: Today, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released the first National Cislunar Science and Technology (S&T) Strategy to address how U.S. S&T leadership will support responsible, peaceful, and sustainable exploration and use of Cislunar space—the large region...
Video from the Denver Astronomical Society: This talk focused on the future of human and robotic exploration of the Moon and beyond. Since the end of the Apollo program, the justification for the human space program has proven elusive. Dr. Burns borrowed a page from the Silicon Valley computer and...
