ARTEMIS IS 'GO' FOR LAUNCH

We're about to find out if NASA still has the right stuff. On Monday morning, Aug. 29th at 8:33 am EDT, the most powerful rocket ever built will blast off from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39B. Destination: the Moon. This is the beginning of NASA's Artemis program, named after the twin sister of Apollo.



Artemis I will not carry any astronauts. It's a test flight. In fact, it's the only test flight, a controversial decision that worries some experts. Astronauts will ride the next rocket, Artemis II, in 2024. NASA will have two years to fix any problems uncovered by Artemis I.

Propelled by a 32-story tall rocket with 8.8 million pounds of thrust, Artemis I will exit Earth's atmosphere in only 2 minutes. Less than 2 hours after that, the Orion crew capsule will be burning straight for the Moon.

Over the course of the 42 day mission, Orion will orbit the Moon for more than a week (approaching the lunar surface within 62 miles) and travel 40,000 miles beyond the far side of the Moon before turning back to Earth.


The capsule will stay in space longer than any human spacecraft has without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before. Indeed, a key goal of the mission is to test Orion's heat shield when it slams into Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 mph and heats up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

If all goes well, astronauts will orbit the Moon in 2024 (Artemis II), then touch down near the Moon's south pole in 2025 (Artemis III). The moonwalkers will include the first woman step onto the lunar surface.


Live coverage of the launch begins on Monday, Aug. 29th, at 6:30 am EDT.

ASTERION VELVET FOR SEOUL SCIENCE PARK

ZEISS will supply and install the latest projection technology for the planetarium at the Seoul Science Park in South Korea early next year. The hybrid system for the 11 m dome is based on the combination of optical-mechanical and digital projection with integrated control. The analog component consists of a ZEISS ASTERION Starball for impressive depiction of the night sky. ASTERION replaces the 30-year-old M1015 star projector from ZEISS. ZEISS is providing ASTERION with a built-in lift to lower the starball from the center of the dome and scintillation. Two ZEISS VELVET LED projectors complement the projection system with digital fulldome projection. Both ASTERION and VELVET projection provide a deep black image background without the characteristic "background glow" of classic projectors. This allows visitors to the planetarium at Seoul Science Park to enjoy a "perfect" night. The ZEISS UNIVIEW planetarium software ensures correct and vivid astronomical visualizations. It allows all phenomena of the universe to be displayed in a three-dimensional perspective beyond the earthbound view, all the way out to the remnants of the Big Bang.

The contract award for the continued use of ZEISS technology in the planetarium in Seoul is also a personal success for our ZEISS representative in Korea. Exactly 30 years ago he had initially been able to outfit the planetarium using ZEISS technology.
