About this event
Over the past few months, several moon missions have been launched, both by institutions and private companies. This new "moon race", fueled by the Artemis program, offered a recent significant achievement with India's Chandrayaan-3 landing, being the second country to achieve successful soft landing in the 21st century and the 4th in history.
The objective of this seminar is to give an overview of astrodynamics advances applied to state-of-the-art on-going and future moon missions.
Join us for this fantastic journey to the Moon by subscribing to this upcoming COMET-ORB seminar!
