NASA is asking citizen scientists, space industry employees and other volunteers to help them track the first human mission to the moon in more than 50 years.
The agency put out a call for volunteers to passively track the Artemis 2 mission’s Orion spacecraft when it launches in April 2026 or thereabouts, to keep an eye as the four astronauts aboard loop around the moon and then come back to Earth.
According to NASA, volunteers may include “international space agencies, academic institutions, commercial companies, nonprofits and private citizens”. The deadline to apply is October 27. NASA, of course, already has tracking and communications systems.
