KBR Unveils Lunar Navigation Tools for Artemis Astronauts

KBR Inc. has announced the development of new lunar-orienteering tools designed to enhance astronaut navigation during NASA’s Artemis missions. These tools, which will be tested during the upcoming Artemis III mission, aim to provide reliable backup navigation methods, starting with paper-based devices and evolving into integrated electronic systems by Artemis V. The tools include a device that uses angular navigation to triangulate the astronaut's position based on lunar landmarks, ensuring crew safety and mission success even if electronic systems fail. These developments will enable astronauts to explore farther from their lander and conduct more scientific research with increased confidence. The results will be demonstrated during future Artemis missions.
