The Centre for Planetary Sciences at UCL/Birkbeck is delighted to announce the second in our series of public engagement events: 'Adventures in Planetary Science: Why Return to the Moon?', which took place online on Thursday 1st December 2022.
Following the successful NASA Artemis 1 mission launch to the Moon on 16th November 2022, amid a flurry of other lunar missions, the subject of 'Why Return to the Moon?' has never been so topical.
The second in our series of *free* public engagement events 'Adventures in Planetary Science', will address this question with talks from a number of lunar science experts, and a chance to put questions to the panel at the Q&A session following the presentations.
Talks:
Louise Alexander (RAS) - An Introduction to the Moon;
Giulia Magnarini (NHM) - A journey across the lunar landscape;
Siân Cleaver (Airbus) - The Artemis Missions;
Ian Crawford (Birkbeck) - Future exploration: The case for a lunar base;
Event host and chair: Andrew Rushby (Birkbeck)
