Recently, NASA has unveiled a new logo for the Artemis program. It was presented by the agency’s chief administrator Jim Bridenstine at the SPACE & STEM conference. According to Mr. Bridenstine, Artemis is something that reflects Moon space missions even better than Apollo did. The logo represents a symbolic image of Artemis with abstract features formed by the shadows and highlights alongside with outlines of the Moon. The white circle that borders the image looks like a space helmet, while the curved lines remind a rocket trajectory. Partly, the new emblem was inspired by the Apollo program logotype which included a depiction of the god Apollo.

The female theme is also important here. However, NASA hasn’t determined yet which astronauts will take part in the mission. Supposedly, Jessica Meir and Christina Koch who are currently on ISS have decent chances to be the first woman on the Moon.
