Help NASA Track Artemis II – Hams Wanted!

When NASA’s Artemis II mission heads toward the Moon, amateur radio operators around the world will have a front-row seat—and a critical supporting role. 🌕

🚀 NASA is partnering with the ARRL to recruit licensed hams to passively track the Orion spacecraft as it journeys around the Moon and back to Earth.

📡 What’s involved?
✅ Monitor beacon signals and Doppler shifts as Orion travels beyond Earth orbit
✅ Log reception reports via NASA’s crowdsourced dashboard
✅ Contribute valuable propagation and signal-strength data to mission telemetry teams

💡 Why it matters:
This initiative showcases amateur radio’s continuing relevance in deep-space communication. Even modest stations with HF or VHF/UHF capability can help verify signal paths and antenna modeling in real-world conditions.

🧭 How to take part:
1️⃣ Follow updates at ARRL.org/ArtemisII

2️⃣ Prepare your station—check tracking software (Gpredict, WSJT-X Doppler readouts, SDRs)
3️⃣ Watch for NASA’s final beacon frequency release prior to launch

👨‍🚀 Whether you’re a seasoned EME operator or an SDR hobbyist, this is a once-in-a-generation chance to help humanity return to the Moon—ham-radio style. 🌙
