NASA Artemis II Moon Mission Spacecraft: Solar Wing Install | NASA Kennedy

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II Commander, poses for a portrait with technicians inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Technicians have begun working on the installation of the four solar array wings for NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Feb. 27, 2025. Artemis II is Orion’s first crewed flight test around the Moon under the agency’s Artemis campaign.

The Artemis II test flight will be sending NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Reid Wiseman, as well as Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back.

Artemis II will launch no earlier than April 2026.
