The 4 astronauts readied to fly around the Moon throughout NASA’s Artemis II examination trip leave the Neil A. Armstrong Procedures and Check Out Structure at the company’s Kennedy Room Facility in Florida, throughout a gown practice session for launch day on Dec. 20, 2025. From left are CSA (Canadian Room Company) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch.
The launch day practice session, called a countdown demo examination, substitute the launch day timeline, consisting of the staff dressing in their spacesuits and climbing up in and out of their Orion spacecraft. Since the SLS (Room Release System) rocket whereupon they will certainly introduce is not yet at the launching pad, the staff boarded Orion inside Kennedy’s Automobile Setting up Structure, where designers are carrying out last prep work on the spacecraft, rocket, and ground systems..
With Artemis, NASA will certainly send out astronauts to discover the Moon for clinical exploration, financial advantages, and construct the structure for the initial crewed objectives to Mars.
