NASA is taking the first step in the next era of human exploration with the Artemis spaceflight program! In ancient Greek mythology, Artemis was the goddess of the Moon and twin sister to the sun god Apollo. Much like NASA’s Apollo program, which took humans to the Moon in the 1960s and 1970s, the Artemis program will take humans, including the first woman and the first person of color, back to the Moon and prepare us for traveling to Mars and beyond for the first time.

The following activities are all about the Artemis program and NASA’s plans for a new generation of crewed spaceflight. Complete three of the six activities to earn your “Moon, Mars, and Beyond” badge.
