Members of the Artemis launch team participate in a cryogenic simulation for Artemis II in Firing Room 1 inside the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024. Cryogenic simulations allow team members the opportunity to practice loading propellant – liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen – onto the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and make any necessary adjustments during countdown operations. Four astronauts will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence for science and exploration through Artemis.
