Artemis, meet ARTEMIS: Pursuing Sun science at the moon
(PHYSorg.com Space & Earth)

By 2024, NASA will land astronauts, including the first woman and next man, on the Moon as part of the Artemis lunar exploration program. This won`t be the first time NASA takes the name Artemis to the Moon though. Two robotic spacecraft orbiting the Moon today were initially known as ARTEMIS-short for Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon`s Interaction with the Sun. Since 2011, these spacecraft have been sending scientists valuable information about the lunar environment, and laying groundwork critical to returning humans to the Moon.
