Two Scotts among volunteers helping NASA to track Artemis mission
NASA has enlisted a cadre of volunteers to track the Artemis I mission, due to launch later this month. If successful, their efforts could help improve spacecraft tracking for future missions beyond the Moon.runs the gamut from five space agencies, a college, nine private businesses, and nonprofit. Oh, and two guys named Scott from the United States.
The goal of the program is to demonstrate the volunteers can receive a signal from the Orion spacecraft and passively track changes in Orion's radio wave transmissions. The ground-based volunteers will be looking for Orion's S-band return link carrier signal and measuring its Doppler shift over three mission phases: the craft's journey to the moon, its orbit around the Moon, and its return journey.
"We are grateful for these contributions from fellow explorers everywhere," said Badri Younes, NASA deputy associate administrator and manager of the Space Communications and Navigation program that will be tracking Orion and analyzing the volunteer data. "If successful, these antennas and the supplemental data they provide could be used to augment tracking measurements of future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond," NASA said. Volunteers won't be affecting the signal or transmitting anything on their own so their participation won't affect the mission, NASA said.
