Each January NASA pauses to honour NASA astronauts who lost their lives in cause of space exploration. This year, today, the 26th of January is the day NASA has chosen to mark this Day Of Remembrance.

When we left the Gemini program in the last this episode of the Terranauts podcast, President Lyndon B Johnson was just stepping up the microphone at his ranch in Texas to explain how NASA was going to respond to the failure of Gemini 6 barely 72 hours previously.

After the government made a significant funding announcement of $200 million for Earth Observation in mid-October, the Canadian Space Agency is now looking to industry for supporting technologies of the US led Atmosphere Observing System.

With the Artemis I Orion capsule safely returning to Earth yesterday, Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center said in a media briefing that the announcement of which astronauts will participate in the Artemis II mission will be in early 2023. That announcement will include a Canadian.

In this episode of the Terranauts podcast, NASA suffers a major failure in the Gemini program. NASA’s response would be critical to getting the program back on track.

In this episode of the Terranauts podcast, NASA is about about to launch Gemini VI but something happens somethings that had never happened to a crewed mission before.

Almost 50 years to the day, it was December 7, 1972, that NASA’s Apollo 17 mission launched on the last human mission to the Moon, NASA and its international partners, launched for the first time the rocket that will take humans back to the Moon.

In the competition between prime contractor MDA and the much smaller and less known Bolton based Canadensys Aerospace, the underdog won.

In this episode of the Terranauts podcast, the NASA’s Gemini program is moving forward nicely but there’s still one critical issue that needs to be mastered.

What will it take for Project Gemini to reach its goals of long duration flight? And in 1965 that meant trying to make it to eight days.
