#Artemis Ii Crew Selection Process

Artemis II crew weekly update for February 26-29, 2024

Next Stop: The Moon! Meet the Artemis II Crew 🚀🌕 ​History in the making! Meet the four astronauts heading back to the Moon. The Artemis generation is here! 🌌✨ ​^(Visuals enhanced by AI. Amazing to see the future of space travel coming to life!) ​#NASA #ArtemisII #Space #AI #Future ​^(Visuals enhanced by AI. Amazing to see the future of space travel coming to life!)

Artemis II crew members prepares for launch to moon from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida #ArtemisII #NASA #MoonMission #SpaceLaunch #Orion #SLS #ArtemisProgram #SpaceExploration #Moon #NASAArtemis #HumanSpaceflight #RocketLaunch #KennedySpaceCenter #LunarMission #DeepSpace #Astronauts #MoonFlyby #SpaceTravel

Train today, perform tomorrow. ⁣ ⁣ The Artemis II astronauts practiced some of the pre-launch procedures they’ll perfect before their slated 2024 launch to the Moon.⁣ ⁣ @NASAAstronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, along with @CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut @AstroJeremy, awoke at their crew quarters at @NASAKennedy and put on test versions of the Orion Crew Survival System spacesuits they will wear on launch day. They then departed to Launch Pad 39B in our new #Artemis crew transportation fleet. ⁣ ⁣ Upon arrival at the pad, the crew headed onto the mobile launcher and proceeded up the tower to the white room inside the crew access arm. There was no Orion spacecraft or Space Launch System rocket on the pad today, but on launch day this is where the crew will take their final Earth-bound steps prior to their journey around the Moon. ⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #Moon #Space #Launch #Astronauts #NASA #NASAKennedy #LaunchDay #Orion #SpaceLaunchSystem #Artemis

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon... but they’ll always find their way back home 🌎 During this complex and far-reaching journey, the four crew members will travel ~685,000 miles looping around the Moon and back to Earth in a span of about 10-days. The mission follows a free-return trajectory that uses the gravity of the Earth and Moon to naturally guide the crew home. During the mission, the astronauts are going to get a unique perspective of the Moon while testing Orion’s systems and performing science operations.

The agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Orion will fly an orbit around Earth and then venture around the Moon before returning to Earth. Credit: @NASAGoddard

With the help of their closeout crew, the Artemis II astronauts have entered the Orion crew module, which they named "Integrity." Follow live updates at the link in bio.

The Artemis II crew experienced an issue with the Universal Waste Management System aboard the Orion spacecraft. One of the components was jammed, and it made urine collection impossible. But 'space plumber' Christina Koch instantly came to the rescue and fixed the fault. During a live chat with the mission control in Houston, Koch, along with Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen, detailed how they fixed the toilet issue.

Artemis II crew weekly update for June 16-20, 2025. We are surrounded by inspiration! Lunar geology experts, training teams, and an added treat to have a few of our kids with us as we train for an upcoming major test in the Orion spacecraft…Cheers!

(Artemis II) Travel Time to Moon & Each Planet with NASA SLS Rocket 🚀 NASA is returning humans to the Moon after 50 years! 🌕🚀 But what if we kept going? The Artemis II mission will use the mega SLS (Space Launch System) rocket to carry 4 astronauts around the Moon. Reaching speeds up to 39,500 km/h (24,500 mph) during Trans-Lunar Injection, it takes just 4 DAYS to get there! 👨‍🚀✨ But space is terrifyingly huge. 🌌 If we pointed this massive rocket straight at other planets, here is the non-stop travel time: ⚪ Moon: 4 Days 🔥 Venus: 1.5 Months 🔴 Mars: 8 Months 🪐 Jupiter: 2.5 Years 🪐 Saturn: 4 Years 🔵 Uranus: 8.5 Years 🔵 Neptune: 13 Years 💀 Imagine being stuck in a spaceship for 13 YEARS just to reach Neptune! 😱 If you were chosen for the Artemis mission, which planet would you want to visit? 👇 Let’s debate in the comments! 💬 (Drop a LIKE to wish the Artemis II crew a safe flight! ❤️🚀) . . .

Buckle up, because the Artemis II flight path is basically the ultimate cosmic rollercoaster🎢 Instead of a straight shot, NASA is sending four astronauts on a “hybrid free-return trajectory.” They’ll whip around Earth to gain speed, then use the Moon’s gravity like a giant slingshot to hurl themselves back home. No engine burns for the return trip—just pure orbital mechanics and vibes. #artemis #moon #fyp #nasa #space

The Artemis II Crew is officially in space and has made contact with Earth. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said all 4 astronauts on board “are safe. They’re secure, and they’re in great spirits.” Today, they performed a crucial orbital adjustment to prepare for the upcoming translunar injection burn (the engine firing that will send Orion toward the moon and back). Between maneuvers, the crew caught some rest in shifts and shared “phenomenal views” of Earth. They’re also staying active with onboard exercises, using a compact flywheel for rowing, squats, and resistance training to counter microgravity’s effects on muscles and bones. Along for the ride are small satellites from international partners and meaningful mementos, including historic flags.

Moon science? Yes. Preparing for our long-term future in space? Also yes. ✅✅ The Artemis II lunar flyby mission will give humanity a new perspective on the Moon, and test the systems and technology that will eventually bring astronauts to the lunar surface to stay.
