On June 5, I, Chuck Schlemm, exhibited at Vanderbilt’s Dyer Observatory’s Telescope Night event.
I presented my “Apollo to Artemis and Beyond” exhibit using spacecraft models of the Apollo Saturn V & LM, STS Space Shuttle, International Space Station with docked Dragon, Starliner, Soyuz & Progress and Artemis’s SLS, Orion, Lunar Gateway, and SpaceX and Blue Origin’s Human Landing Systems.
Commercial space models shown were Blue Origin’s New Shepard, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 with Crew Dragon, Falcon Heavy and Starship, Boeing’s Starliner on ULA Atlas V, and Sierra Nevada’s Dream Chaser. 3 photos attached.
I discussed Artemis 2, 3 & 5 missions and lunar flight plans. I also talked about further Artemis plans for extended stays, larger landing crews and lunar robots, rovers, mobile habitats and future moon bases.
The program was well received and I had many questions.
I have an open invitation to come back to Dyer and plan to do several more exhibits there this year.
