NASA Artemis II Moon Mission: Orion Spacecraft Testing | Kennedy Space Center

NASA Artemis II Moon Mission: Orion Spacecraft Testing | Kennedy Space Center








In these images, the Orion spacecraft crew module for NASA’s Artemis II Moon Mission is viewed by crane operator Rebekah Tolatovicz as it is transferred across the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, April 27, 2024, following a series of electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing. This puts the spacecraft through conditions as close as possible to the environment it will experience in the vacuum of deep space.

Four astronauts will venture around the Moon in the Orion spacecraft on Artemis II. It will be the first crewed mission on NASA's path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through the Artemis campaign.
