NASA and IBM release open AI model that outperforms prior lunar analysis tools
NASA and IBM released the open-source NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model on Hugging Face, trained on decades of lunar observations to help scientists analyze multi-instrument data and accelerate Moon exploration, including identifying ice, craters, and volcanic features with up to 23% higher accuracy than baseline methods. They also unveiled the first open lunar dataset to accompany the model, enabling researchers worldwide to build and refine tools for sustained lunar research.

About Artemis
Artemis was a geostationary earth orbit satellite (GEOS) for telecommunications, built by Alenia Spazio for ESA. The Artemis satellite operated at the 21.5E orbital position until 2016, when it was moved to 123E to cover the L-Band spectrum rights for Indonesia's Ministry of Defense.
