About the Mission

NASA’s Artemis II mission will bring a lot of firsts to the world–it will be the first mission to send a woman, a person of color, and a Canadian to lunar space.




Background

NASA’s Artemis missions will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with commercial and international partners to establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, NASA will use what it learns on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars. We’re going back to the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to inspire a new generation of explorers: the Artemis Generation. The Artemis Generation represents people across the world who will band together to explore deep space for the benefit of all. On the first crewed Artemis mission, Artemis II, astronauts aboard NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will venture around the Moon. Their mission will be to confirm all of the spacecraft’s systems operate as designed with crew aboard in the actual environment of deep space. The Artemis II flight test will pave the way to land the first woman on the Moon on Artemis III. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) announced the four astronauts who will venture around the Moon on Artemis II. The crew assignments are as follows: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist 1 Christina Hammock Koch, and Mission Specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen. They will work as a team to execute an ambitious set of demonstrations during the flight test.

THE SUIT

The Orion Suit

Before astronauts launch on Artemis missions to the Moon, they will suit up in a bright orange spacesuit called the Orion Crew Survival System (OCSS). This spacesuit, worn inside NASA’s Orion spacecraft, is designed for a custom fit and equipped with technology features to help protect astronauts on launch day, in emergency situations, throughout high-risk parts of missions near the Moon, and during the high-speed return to Earth.
