Icon meets Icon ⁣🪞 ⁣ #Artemis I launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson hands the mission’s zero gravity indicator to Melissa Menta from Peanuts Worldwide LLC. Throughout its flight, cameras within the Orion spacecraft captured Snoopy floating around the capsule indicating microgravity.⁣ ⁣ Snoopy has a long history with NASA, from the crew of Apollo 10 spacecraft calling their lunar module “Snoopy” to a Snoopy lapel pin that has flown in space, representing the Silver Snoopy award given to employees who have significantly contributed to human spaceflight.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Charlie Blackwell-Thompson wears a blue sweater and gloves. Smiling, she holds Snoopy, who is wearing an orange flight suit. Melissa Menta wears a black blazer and purple gloves, and behind her, Mike Sarafin wears a suit as he, Glenn Chin and Kevin Ash, both wearing blue shirts, look on at Snoopy.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett⁣ ⁣ #Space #Peanuts #Orion #Moon #LunarMission #AstronautSnoopy #ZeroGravityIndicator
