This test launch, which is scheduled to last up to 42 days and should reach within 100 kilometers of the Moon’s surface, will be completed only months before the 50th anniversary of the last time man was on the moon. The twelve-day mission of Apollo 17 returned home in mid-December 1972. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo.
The Orion capsule, while unmanned, will not be completely empty. It will feature two female mannequins that mimic human organs, Zohar and Helga. These are hitech mannequins containing thousands of sensors and radiation detectors designed to test Israeli company StemRad’s new Astrorad radiation protection vests. The names of these mannequins seem to reflect the cooperation of the Israel Space Agency and the German Aerospace Center in this experiment. Orion will also include a third mannequin, named Commander Moonikin Campos, which will also measure launch pressures on the human body.
There will also be a Snoopy doll. Snoopy has long been associated with NASA’s space efforts, and this doll and other toys will be used as zero gravity indicators to let researchers know when the rocket has entered zero gravity. Four Lego minifigures will also be on the flight in a nod to the long-standing relationship between NASA and Lego and as part of an effort to promote STEM education.
Despite this commemorative uncrewed Orion capsule, NASA claims that once metaphorically lifted off, its new Artemis program, unlike previous Apollo missions, will be less focused on “flags and tracks” and more on scientific research and preparing humanity for long-term habitats on the moon and eventually Mars.
StemRad isn’t the only Israeli technology that will help NASA with its long-term lunar ambitions. Helios, in conjunction with Florida-based Eta Space, has developed technology that can extract much-needed oxygen from the lunar regolith. These and other Israeli technologies are part of a long-term, multi-million shekel effort to increase the number of companies developing civilian space technology in Israel. To that end, Israel has already launched a space technology incubator, Earth & Beyond Ventures.
Notably, Israel is not the only country working with the United States to return to the Moon. The Artemis program is a multinational effort, of which Israel is a recent member. Saudi Arabia just became the 21st nation to sign the Artemis Accords during US President Joe Biden’s recent trip to the Middle East. Canada is another partner in the Artemis project. The Canadian government will provide a third iteration of its famous robotic Canadarm, as well as a lunar rover for the project. A Canadian astronaut will also fill one of four seats on the first manned Artemis flight to the moon.
Given its interest in returning humanity to the moon, Canada wants its astronauts to be on their best behavior. Therefore, there was a recommendation to amend Canada’s criminal law to specifically include the possibility of prosecution for offenses committed on the Moon by Canadians. Crimes committed on the International Space Station by Canadians already fall within the long arm of the Canadian justice system.
Although the US has yet to follow suit with similar legislation, US Vice President Kamala Harris recently announced her interest in revising other aspects of US space regulations so that they are more in line with the current state of commercial space exploration . A subsequent tweet announced that this would be investigated in more detail next month, at the same time as the Artemis rocket is in lunar orbit
But extending Canadian or any other jurisdiction to the moon could conflict with what NASA administrator Bill Nelson claims is China’s goal of claiming the moon as its own: “We have to be very concerned that China lands on the moon and saying: It’s ours now and stay out.” In their defense, China rejects this claim.
Of course, China is not the only national player that can claim part or all of the moon. The Artemis Accords, to which Israel is a signatory, allow national efforts to mine and extract valuable resources from the moon and other celestial bodies — a potentially highly profitable endeavor. Despite the non-appropriation and the “province of all mankind” language in the universally accepted Outer Space Treaty.
If China claims the moon, or just strategic parts of it, it won’t be the first interested party to do so. Dennis Hope is just one of many private individuals who claim to own things in space. Dennis filed what he believes are the necessary documents with his local representatives 40 years ago to claim not only the moon but all the celestial bodies in the solar system. His company, the Lunar Embassy, has sold pieces of these celestial bodies to over six million people, including former presidents Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush.
All of these lunar land claims could set some interesting legal precedent. The last time NASA had a legal dispute with alleged owners of private property in space. won against the professional plaintiff on a technicality (Nemitz v. NASA, 126 Fed. Appx. 343 (2005). Hopefully, with so many potential plaintiffs and the possibility of a manned lunar base, the next time NASA is sued for landing on one’s lunar claim, the result will be more interesting.
