Science Friction · 12 | Artemis Explained: What a ride · 15 Apr 2026 podcast

Okay.

So we've got some science-y results coming out in the next six months.

But what about the next Artemis mission?

We keep hearing about Artemis 3.

What does that involve and when's that going to happen?

Yeah, so when did NASA say that they were hoping to get Artemis III off the ground?

That's very soon.

I wonder if they'll go with the Artemis 2 astronauts.

Oh, I mean, we'd love to see them again, wouldn't we?

Tap into their lives again in a year's time.

Okay, so just so everything goes really well with Artemis 3, is there an Artemis 4 planned?

Look, we've actually got a really good question from John about communication in space.

So he asks, to enable communication from the dark side of the moon or the far side of the moon,

Could we launch a moon-orbiting communication satellite from Earth?

As usual, we've got so many great questions, so we're going to try and get through as many as possible before we wind this up.

So this is from Peter, and he asks, the Artemis astronauts were in space for 10 days.

Because they were travelling quite fast both towards and away from us here on Earth,

their clock will be different to ours due to special relativity.

Also, because they've been further up Earth's gravity well, their clocks will be different due to general relativity.

How much difference will there be due to each component?
