Contribution to Artemis II Moon mission sees successful test of a space camera under cosmic ray conditions
The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the international accelerator facility FAIR have made an important contribution to the success of the Artemis II moon mission.
AI Summary
The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and FAIR tested a space‑ready camera for Artemis II at their particle accelerator. The camera, a modified Nikon Z9, was exposed to high‑energy heavy ions in March 2025 to simulate cosmic radiation. NASA’s radiation tests confirmed the camera remained stable and reliable under intense exposure. The successful results support its use on the upcoming lunar mission.
