Training begins for the Artemis II astronauts!
While some of us are enjoying the start of summer vacation, these astronauts have just begun their training for the NASAArtemis II mission around the Moon and back. This mission will send NASAAstronauts Astro_Reid, AstroVicGlover, and Astro_Christina, and CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut AstroJeremy on a 10-day flight test around the Moon. Their journey will be the first crewed mission on our path toward establishing a long-term presence on the Moon.
The crew will train for about 18 months and receive detailed lessons on the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will take them to the Moon. They will also learn to operate and monitor systems for the ascent, orbit and coast, and entry phases of the mission and how to respond in emergency situations.
