Artemis II astronauts pose for a photograph with members of the Artemis launch team inside Firing Room 1 in the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Aug. 7, 2023. In front, kneeling from left are NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Reid Wiseman, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. 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.
