Hear from Dr. Casey Honniball during her presentation entitled "Preparing for Artemis: Finding Water on the Moon." Dr. Casey Honniball is a lunatic (lunar scientist) postdoctoral research fellow at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Her current research focuses on characterizing water on the Moon and testing field portable instruments for use by astronauts during an extravehicular activity on planetary surfaces. She earned her Ph.D. in Earth and Planetary Science from the University of Hawaii in 2019. Recently Dr. Honniball and her team announced the direct detection of water molecules on a sunlit portion of the Moon using the air-borne telescope SOFIA. She participates in mission design and instrumentation to further our understanding of volatiles on the Moon.
Remember to ask her questions after the presentation. With the goal of sending humans to Mars, Artemis begins the next era of exploration!
