Tennessee Scientist Joins Artemis Mission for Historic Lunar Landing
Jeannette Luna, a scientist from Tennessee Technological University, has been selected to join NASA's Artemis mission, which aims to land humans on the moon for the first time in over 50 years. Luna, who specializes in planetary mapping, is part of a selective geology team tasked with planning and running simulations of moonwalks. Her role will involve creating detailed maps for astronauts to explore the moon's south pole and collect ancient rocks. Luna will support the mission from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, working in a 'science backroom' to assist the crew during their lunar exploration. This opportunity marks a significant achievement for Luna, who has long aspired to contribute to space exploration.
