Beyond the Rocket: The Digital Infrastructure of the Artemis II Mission When Artemis II lifts off the world will see a rocket; it won't see the layered digital architecture—flight software, mission‑operations networks, ground systems and data pipelines—that enables navigation, crew support and communications. This piece examines those unseen systems and how they underpin the crewed lunar flyby.

Study examines how Martian gravity could affect astronauts' skeletal muscle Marie Mortreux, an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island’s College of Health Sciences, is part of an international research team studying how Mars’ reduced gravity would affect astronauts’ skeletal muscle. The study aims to characterize muscle adaptations under Martian gravity to inform human missions.
