NASA Chooses Iceland for Artemis II Training | WION Podcast

NASA has selected Iceland as the 'most lunar-like' location on Earth to prepare astronauts for the Artemis II mission. With its rugged terrain, volcanic craters, and lava fields, Iceland offers a landscape reminiscent of the Moon. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and others are training there, practicing techniques for rock and soil sampling. This preparation is crucial for their upcoming mission, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972. Artemis III is set to launch no earlier than September 2026, marking a significant step in lunar exploration. #nasa #artemis #wion #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
