The Oklahoma Space Industry Development Board meets Thursday afternoon in Oklahoma City and the U.S. effort to return to the moon will be one of the issues to be discussed.
One of the items to be considered is an update on the status of NASA’s Artemis project, the effort to return to the moon. The project was delayed last week, according to an announcement by NASA. It was also the subject of a House committee hearing held Wednesday and chaired by Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas. The Committee was exploring why there was another delay in the project.
A Stillwater firm, Frontier Electronic Systems, has a contract to provide certain electrical components used on the mission. The 40-year old company has previously held contractors to make electronics for the Department of Defense.
