Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 242, mapping lunar ice.

I'm Gary Jordan.

I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts,

scientists, engineers, and astronauts all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight.

As we continue to talk about returning humans to the moon as part of NASA's Artemis missions,

it's essential to gather as much data about the lunar surface ahead of the

bootprints.

We know that there is water ice on the moon, and we have a rough idea of where it is.

But there's one experiment coming up on the Artemis 1 mission

that's going to give us an even better understanding. On this episode we're

talking about a shoeboxized satellite that will help us understand and even map water ice on the moon.

To explain a little more about Lunar Ice Cube, the name of the mission, we have previous principal

investigator Dr. Pamela Clark, director of Morehead State's Star Theater and a space systems engineering instructor at Morehead State University, and we have Cliff Bramborough, Birch's lead engineer from the NASA Goddard Spaceflight center.

Yes, we get into what Birch is.

So, let's get right into it. Enjoy. County. Mark.

I'm a lot to commit life, sir, the red.

Here she goes.

Isn't we have a contest?

Pamela and Cliff Yeah.
