    The document discusses different ways the name Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, has been used in astronomy, taxonomy, and modern spaceflight. In astronomy, several lunar features and a submillimeter camera have been named after Artemis. In taxonomy, the genus of brine shrimp derives its name from Artemis. The modern NASA Artemis program aims to return astronauts to the moon's south pole region by 2024, continuing the tradition of lunar exploration from the Apollo program.

    In astronomy
    105 Artemis, the Artemis (crater), the Artemis Chasma, the Artemis Corona, and the Artemis
    lunar program have all been named after the goddess.
    Artemis is the acronym for "Architectures de bolometres pour des Telescopes a grand champ de
    vue dans le domaine sub-Millimetrique au Sol", a large bolometer camera in
    the submillimeter range that was installed in 2010 at the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX),
    located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.[74]

    In taxonomy
    The taxonomic genus Artemia, which entirely comprises the family Artemiidae, derives from
    Artemis. Artemia are aquatic crustaceans known as brine shrimp, the best known species of
    which, Artemia salina, or Sea Monkeys, was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his Systema
    Naturae in 1758. Artemia live in salt lakes, and although they are almost never found in an open
    sea, they do appear along the Aegean coast near Ephesus, where the Temple of Artemis once
    stood.

    In Modern Spaceflight
    The Artemis program is an ongoing crewed spaceflight program carried out by NASA,
    U.S. commercial spaceflight companies, and international partners such as ESA,[75] with the goal
    of landing "the first woman and the next man" on the lunar south pole region by 2024. NASA is
    calling this the Artemis program in honor of Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology, the goddess
    of the Moon.[76]
