NASA Releases Over 800GB of Artemis II Lunar Science Data

NASA has made over 800 gigabytes of lunar science data from the Artemis II crewed lunar flyby mission available to researchers and the public. The collection includes over 11,000 full-resolution lunar photographs and videos, approximately 8.5 hours of audio recordings of astronauts' scientific observations, and handwritten annotations. This data, primarily capturing lunar observations made during the April 2026 mission, is among the first planetary science datasets in over half a century formed through direct human observation, complementing data from Apollo missions and robotic probes.
