Jefferson:  Right here - the mission from your October 18, 2025 Penn Wireless slides.  Artemis II…..Can We Contribute ?  Maybe one day our Club can be in a position with people and antennas to serve.  We have the rigs…just need the antennas which I know is on your plate.  Here is a good argument why (to the Deans).  COrnell can do this.  MIT can do this.  Penn can do this if they give us some antennas and some space.  I say. de W3MHZ

NASA has selected 34 global volunteers to track the Orion spacecraft during the crewed Artemis II mission’s journey around the Moon.

The Artemis II test flight will launch NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, carrying the Orion spacecraft and a crew of four astronauts, on a mission into deep space. The agency’s second mission in the Artemis campaign is a key step in NASA’s path toward establishing a long-term presence at the Moon and confirming the systems needed to support future lunar surface exploration and paving the way for the first crewed mission to Mars.

While NASA’s Near Space Network and Deep Space Network, coordinated by the agency’s SCaN (Space Communication and Navigation) program , will provide primary communications and tracking services to support Orion’s launch, journey around the Moon, and return to Earth, participants selected from a request for proposals published in August 2025, comprised of established commercial service providers, members of academia, and individual amateur radio enthusiasts will use their respective equipment to passively track radio waves transmitted by Orion during its approximately 10-day journey.
