Abstract:
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and its historic
landing on the Moon, NASA is preparing to once again send humans deep
into space, beyond the confines of low-Earth orbit. NASA’s current
plan, the Artemis program, is to get to the Moon by 2024, which will
enable us to get to Mars roughly a decade after creating a sustainable
presence on the lunar surface. These ambitious lunar and Mars plans
will require new communications strategies, and more importantly, new
technologies. This presentation will focus on the new technologies
that SCaN is working on (wideband modem, Quantum, Optica, etc.) that
will be required in preparation for sending humans to the Moon and
beyond. (Image credit: GSFC)
