Argentina microsatellite to fly on Artemis II to test deep‑space navigation and radiation

Argentina’s microsatellite is the sole Latin American spacecraft selected for Artemis II and will validate experimental navigation techniques and directly measure radiation in the deep-space environment—concrete flight data from a high-profile lunar mission.

The experiment flies on NASA's Artemis II crewed SLS/Orion lunar flyby and follows major prelaunch milestones such as the roll to LC‑39B, meaning the instrument will operate in mission-representative conditions and contribute to systems validation for future lunar operations.
