Artemis II Crew with EGS

Artemis II astronauts visit NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 7, 2023. From left, are CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hanson, and NASA astronaut Reid Weisman. Behind them is NASA astronaut Victor Glover. They are with Exploration Ground Systems team members in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building. The approximately 10-day Artemis II flight will test NASA’s foundational human deep space exploration capabilities, the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, for the first time with astronauts and will pave the way for lunar surface missions, including landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon.
