Artemis III crew members, NASA astronauts Randy Bresnick (left) and Andre Douglas (right), share a laugh with members of NASA’s Orion team inside the high bay of the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, July 10, 2026. The astronauts met with Orion teams and got a close look at the work underway on the Orion spacecraft inside the facility. Bresnick, Douglas, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano will launch on the Artemis III mission to conduct critical rendezvous and docking tests with lunar lander systems in low Earth orbit, advancing the capabilities needed before astronauts return to the lunar surface on Artemis IV.
