Driving the Future: NASA Highlights Artemis at Houston AutoBoative Show\u00a0<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

You would not expect to see NASA at a car show\u2014but that\u2019s exactly where Johnson Space Center employees were from Jan. 29 to Feb. 2, 2025, driving the future of space exploration forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At the Houston AutoBoative Show, a fusion of the auto and boat show, NASA rolled out its Artemis exhibit at NRG Center for the first time, introducing vehicle enthusiasts to the technologies NASA and commercial partners will use to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Artemis exhibit stood alongside some of the world\u2019s most advanced cars and boats, offering visitors an up-close look at lunar terrain vehicle mockups from Astrolab, Intuitive Machines, and Lunar Outpost. Later this year, NASA will select the rover that will fly to the Moon as humanity prepares for the next giant leap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In addition to the rovers, the exhibit featured a mockup of JAXA\u2019s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) pressurized rover, designed as a mobile habitat for astronauts, and Axiom Space\u2019s lunar spacesuit, developed for Artemis III astronauts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

These capabilities will allow astronauts to explore, conduct science research, and live and work on the lunar surface.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson Director Vanessa Wyche visited the Artemis exhibit to highlight the importance of these technologies in advancing lunar exploration. Every lesson learned on the Moon will help scientists and engineers develop the strategies, technologies, and experience needed to send astronauts to Mars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cBy bringing the excitement of lunar exploration to the AutoBoative Show, NASA aims to inspire the next generation of explorers to dream bigger, push farther, and help shape humanity\u2019s future in space,\u201d Wyche said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Artemis campaign is setting the stage for long-term human exploration, working with commercial and international partners to establish a sustained presence on the Moon before progressing to Mars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To make this vision a reality, NASA is developing rockets, spacecraft, landing systems, spacesuits, rovers, habitats, and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
