rganisations have huge challenges ahead in keeping up with developments in Cybersecurity, AI, Robotics and Technology and face a dilemma in planning for the
future when advancement in technology is so fast. There is much they can learn from the long-term
planning and leadership of space missions, which may be ten years or more in planning and implementation and require teamwork and collaboration across different departments. Tony Antonelli is a former NASA astronaut who has
flown to space twice during his remarkable career. His first foray into space was in 2009 as the pilot of the Space
Shuttle’s STS-119 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The following year he was also pilot for the Space Shuttle’s STS-132 mission. He has also held leadership roles at NASA until his retirement in 2018. Born in North Carolina, he holds a Bachelor of Science
in aeronautics and astronautics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and took a Master of Science in aeronautics and astronautics at the University of Washington. He can therefore offer an insider’s view of NASA’s current plan to have humans on the surface of the moon by 2028.
DEEPER INTO SPACE YIELDS RESEARCH DIVIDENDS The Artemis project is a space exploration programme
jointly run by NASA and three partner agencies – the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. The programme is likely to have many spin-offs for technology and industry, including developing new rockets and power systems, creating innovative communication networks and studying the moon’s geology. The project will also examine the effects of long-duration spaceflight on human health. The Artemis programme requires huge international
