About this Event
What did Apollo teach us about the Moon - and what will Artemis reveal next?
Join us at Space Park Leicester for an informative talk with Professor John Bridges, as we explore how lunar exploration is entering a bold new era.
The Apollo missions transformed our understanding of how rocky planets like Earth are formed and evolve. Now, with the Artemis programme, we stand on the brink of a new chapter in planetary science—one that promises deeper insights into the Moon, the Solar System, and our place within it.
In this seminar, Professor Bridges will:
- Unpack why the Moon remains central to space science
- Share what we learned from Apollo—and what questions remain
- Reveal how Artemis will push the boundaries of exploration
- Explore the scientific and technological challenges ahead
This is your chance to hear directly from a leading expert and discover how the next wave of lunar missions will shape the future of space exploration.
