Through the Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon. Along with their fellow astronauts, they will explore the Moon\u2019s South Pole and learn to live and work around the Moon.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout their journey, NASA astronauts and spacecraft must communicate with mission control on Earth. NASA\u2019s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program operates the Deep Space Network and Near Space Network to ensure explorers can always call home. These networks also enable missions to send back important science information \u2013 like pictures and videos. NASA currently uses radio waves to communicate information to and from spacecraft, but the agency is testing the use of invisible laser light to send more data at once. NASA is also creating LunaNet, an \u201cinternet\u201d on the Moon that will allow explorers and spacecraft to easily communicate with each other and Earth. This will be similar to what humans experience on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Using the downloadable pages, illustrate the adventures of NASA\u2019s Artemis astronauts by creating a comic. Students can submit scans of their comic which could be featured on NASA\u2019s social media<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Show Us Your #NASAMoonSnap:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three social media
