NASA has released more than 800 gigabytes of Artemis II data to the public. The archive includes over 11,000 full-resolution images and videos of the Moon, 8.5 hours of crew audio, and photos annotated by the astronauts. One annotated image marks where the crew saw impact flashes on the dark side of the Moon. The data is on NASAβs Planetary Data System.
π The Backstory
Artemis II flew astronauts around the Moon, the first crewed lunar flyby in decades. The crew included NASA astronauts Wiseman, Glover and Koch, and Canadian astronaut Hansen. The release is the first major planetary science dataset captured mainly by humans in more than 50 years. Some material had never been seen before.
π― Why It Matters
Anyone can now explore real Moon mission data, and scientists can use it to plan future trips back to the Moon.
