At NASA, ‘data fuels everything we do’ – like a return to the moon

NASA’s Artemis mission will bring U.S. astronauts back to the moon’s surface more than 50 years after its last trip, the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. The agency expects a crewed moon landing mission will occur in 2025. NASA Chief Data Officer David Salvagnini said the Artemis mission depends on the agency’s wealth of scientific data — including data from the Apollo missions more than a half-century ago.
