Headed to the launchpad in style.

The vehicles that will bring the #Artemis II astronauts to Launch Complex 39B have arrived to @NASAKennedy. Just before they launch to the Moon, the crew will ride aboard these fully-electric, zero-emission vehicles: https://go.nasa.gov/3NMHdWW

The "8 Balls" astronaut class turns 10 today! 🎱

NASA's 21st astronaut class of 8 exceptional men and women, chosen from >6,000 candidates, was announced #OTD in 2013. 2 of them, @Astro_Christina and @AstroVicGlover, have since been selected to fly to the Moon on #Artemis II.

.@NASAKennedy teams are performing the final checkouts of @NASA_Orion’s service module before joining it with the crew module.

The service module will provide water, air, propulsion, & more to the #Artemis II astronauts as they journey around the Moon http://go.nasa.gov/45UsAZZ

When we establish a long-term presence on the Moon and Mars, astronauts will need reliable power sources.

A recent spaceflight demonstration indicated that a new material could be used in solar cells that are thinner and cheaper than current options. https://go.nasa.gov/3qqPQOH

.@nasa & @Int_Machines are moving the landing site for the first Commercial Lunar Payload Services mission to the Moon’s South Pole.

A vital first step for future Artemis landings, the decision will help teams learn more about terrain and communications: http://go.nasa.gov/3oKCFYq

Way to go, #CAPSTONE!

In addition to taking its first images and testing new navigational tech, the #CubeSat has flown a near-rectilinear halo orbit for over six months, the same orbit that @NASA_Gateway, our future lunar space station, will fly.
#NASAArtemis #Artemis

Six months ago today, @NASA_SLS launched from @NASAKennedy, sending @NASA_Orion around the Moon and back on the #Artemis I flight test.

The first Artemis mission was only the beginning as @nasa looks to return humanity to the lunar surface: http://nasa.gov/specials/artemis/

REPORTERS: The #Artemis II crew is coming to Washington with media availability on May 17-18.

These four astronauts will fly around the Moon during the 10-day flight test. https://go.nasa.gov/3I8qR9a
#NASA

The #Artemis II crew training will consist of:

Learning how to use @NASA_Orion’s life support systems
Simulating the launch with teams on the ground
Practicing post-splashdown and recovery scenarios
