About This Event

Topic: Human Landing System

The Human Landing System (HLS) is the spacecraft that will facilitate the landing of astronauts on the lunar surface as part of the Artemis program. Crews will descend from the Lunar Gateway space station in orbit around the Moon down to the lunar surface and back again after collecting samples, performing science experiments, and observing the lunar environment.

The program is also supported, in part, by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
