We're looking forward to the launch of Hera this week on planetary radio.

I'm Sarah Alejim I'm Sarah Alejimad of the Planetary Society with more of the Human Adventure across our

solar system and beyond.

Happy Launchedober everyone and Happy World Space Week.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be covering the highly anticipated launches of the European Space Agency's

Hera mission and NASA's Europa Clipper mission.

We have so much to look forward to in the coming weeks in space.

We'll start today with a conversation about all things Hera with Michael Cooper's,

Hera Project Scientist.

Then Amber Trujillo, our digital community manager at the Planetary Society,

will let you know how you can celebrate Europa Clipper by joining NASA's

runway to Jupiter-style challenge. We'll close out with Bruce Betts, our chief scientist, as we discuss

the potential future meteor shower caused by the dart impact in What's Up. It's also the first

week of the month, and you know what that means. It's time for a monthly space policy

edition of planetary radio.

As the United States approaches the upcoming presidential election, Casey Dreyer, our chief of space policy,

delves into what the election could mean for space.

Last month he spoke with Greg Autry, who served on Trump's NASA transition team in 2016.

This month, Casey interviews Lori Garver, who served on NASA's presidential transition teams for Clinton and Obama.

She'll let us know what a potential Harris administration would mean for space exploration.

You can catch our upcoming space policy edition on Friday, February 4th.
