The Emirates Mars mission celebrates two years in orbit around the red planet, this week on planetary radio.

I'm Sarah Alahmet of the Planetary Society with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

One of my personal favorite space missions, the United Arab Emirates Hope Mission to Mars, has spent two years in orbit around our planetary neighbor.

It's about to wow all of us as it enters a new phase of exploration, taking a closer look at Mars' Moon Demos.

Most in Alawadi, director of the space missions department at the UAE Space Agency, joins us to celebrate the mission's exploratory anniversary.

We're also just a little over a week away from the launch of the European Space Agency's Juice Mission to explore the moons of Jupiter.

Jason Davis will let you know what to expect from the launch on April 13th.

Then, Jack Curly will pop in to update us on the status of NASA's Veritas mission to Venus and let you know what you can do to help save the mission.

And of course, we'll close out this episode with Bruce Betts and a peek at the upcoming night sky in WhatsApp.

We'll dive into our regularly scheduled updates from our weekly newsletter, The Downlink, in just a moment.

But first, we have a headline that you won't want to miss.

On Monday, April 3rd, NASA announced the crew of the highly anticipated Artemis 2 mission around the moon.

Meet the Artemis 2 crew.

I'm Christina Foam, I'm a mission specialist.

I'm Jeremy Hansen, I'm a mission specialist.

I'm Victor Glove, I'm the pilot.

I'm regalizing, I'm the commander for the Artemis 2 mission to the moon.

To the moon.

That clip is brought to you by the amazing people at NASA and the Canadian Space Agency.

I'll link to the official crew announcement, including this video on the website for this episode at planetary.org slash radio.

Because this is a moment we all deserve to celebrate.

The Artemis 2 mission is crucial.
