NASA Field Geology Training Prepares Artemis Mission Support Teams
- NASA engineers, managers, and flight directors recently traded their cubicles and conference rooms for an ancient volcanic field in the northern Arizona desert to participate in a field geology course aimed at arming them with first-hand experience in what Artemis astronauts will do when they explore the Moon.
- The two-and-a-half-day exercise for Artemis mission support teams was a condensed version of the rigorous training astronauts receive to prepare for Artemis missions to the lunar South Pole region, but shares an important purpose.
- Small teams led by geology experts from NASA, the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey), and academia studied maps, built hypotheses about the geologic history of the area, and trekked for miles to test whether those hypotheses match reality.
- Geology studies help uncover the rich physical history of an area.
- Artemis will send astronauts – including the first woman, first person of color, and its first international partner astronaut – to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before prepare for human missions to Mars for the benefit of all.
- “The Moon doesn’t have an atmosphere or flowing water like we have here on Earth, and doesn’t have plate tectonics, which are processes that erase a lot of the evidence from the early Earth,” said Jacob Bleacher, chief exploration scientist in the Exploration Systems Development Mission directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
- The planned walking paths, known as traverses, frequently changed based on what they were finding.
- Teams embraced the principle of 'flexecution' – or flexible execution – a practice that could come into play as astronauts explore the lunar surface and report findings to a backroom of scientists supporting the mission in the Mission Control Center.
- Through Artemis, NASA will send astronauts to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before prepare for human missions to Mars for the benefit of all.
- In addition to this geology training to build a foundation for mission support teams, another team will conduct simulated moonwalks in the Arizona desert this spring with mockup spacesuits to test hardware and new capabilities, like a heads-up display using augmented reality, for future Artemis missions.

We Need to Consider Conservation Efforts on Mars
- Astrobiology is the field of science that studies the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the Universe.
- All of our astrobiology missions are focused on Mars because it is considered the most Earth-like environment beyond our planet.
- Legal or normative frameworks be adopted to ensure that future Mars missions do not threaten sites where evidence of past or present life might be found.
- The search for life on Mars can be traced to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Percival Lowell made extensive observations.
- Ironically, the Viking 1 and 2 missions that discredited the notion of there being life on Mars revealed evidence that water once flowed on its surface.
- NASA and China plan to send crewed missions to Mars by 2040 and 2033, respectively, including astrobiology studies, which could threaten the very abodes where evidence of past life could be found.
- Conservation measures must be developed and implemented before additional missions are sent to Mars.
- Multiple astrobiology missions will travel to the outer Solar System this decade to search for evidence of life on icy moons like Europa, Ganymede, Titan, and Enceladus.
- The ability to search for extant or past life without damaging its natural environment is an ethical and scientific necessity.
- Exogeoconservation of Mars is an important issue that needs more attention from researchers and practitioners.
