Dr. Ali Bramson, a planetary scientist and assistant professor at Purdue University, collaborates with NASA, focusing on the shapes and features of planets, particularly Mars. Her work holds significance for deciphering resource utilization on Mars and planning future human exploration.
Under her YouTube channel, “Ali’s Planet Adventures,” she shares her passion for planetary science.
In a recent video, Dr. Bramson discussed upcoming space missions slated for 2024. Noteworthy among these is the Artemis II mission, set to send astronauts to orbit the moon for a 10-day mission.
Additionally, the European Space Agency’s HERA mission explores a binary asteroid system, while the Martian Moons Exploration Mission by Japan’s space agency aims to land on Phobos, Mars’s moon, and return a sample to Earth.
These missions mark crucial strides in human space exploration and hold the potential to unravel key mysteries about life beyond Earth. Dr. Bramson remains enthusiastic about the prospects of understanding the possibilities of life within Earth’s solar system.
As 2023 concludes, anticipation builds for these groundbreaking missions, offering a glimpse into the future of space exploration and scientific discovery.
