Memories inside Orion! The Artemis II mission ended over two months ago, but we’re still over the Moon. Please enjoy these previously unreleased images from the Artemis II mission.

Artemis III crew 🤝 Orion Training is underway! The Artemis III astronauts have begun preparing for their mission, starting with familiarization of their spacecraft inside a full-scale Orion mockup at Johnson’s Space Vehicle Mockup Facility.

Life inside Orion! The Moon joy was (and continues to be!) contagious as the Artemis II mission flew around the Moon and broke the record for farthest distance traveled from Earth.

NASA will mount two Starlink mini laser terminals on Orion’s exterior for Artemis III, transmitting 4K imagery and video to Mission Control in Houston. The hardware is based on the same optical crosslink technology currently connecting the Starlink constellation, with more than 25,000 lasers operating in orbit. NASA demonstrated optical communications aboard Orion during Artemis II, while SpaceX demonstrated its commercial relay system during Fram2. Artemis III brings the technologies together on a crewed mission, advancing NASA’s shift toward commercial satellite relay services in near-Earth space.
