NASA Astronaut Christina Koch—International Space Station Scientist FriendsofNASA.org: While living in space for 328 days, NASA astronaut Christina Koch spent many of her hours on science activities aboard the International Space Station and wore many hats: farmer, biologist, physicist, engineer, test subject and many more. Learn more about the research being conducted on Station: https://lnkd.in/gUbYEqA4 Six years before her Artemis II Moon Mission, NASA astronaut, scientist, mission specialist, flight engineer, and spacewalker Christina Koch spent almost a year in space on International Space Station Expeditions 59-61 (March 2019-February 2020), before coming home. During the longest-ever single spaceflight by a female astronaut, NASA astronaut Christina Koch also completed six spacewalks. When Koch returned to Earth, she set the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman. Additionally, Christina participated in the first all-female spacewalk with fellow NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, currently serving aboard the International Space Station on Expedition 74.

Return to Earth with NASA's Artemis II Moon Crew | Canadian Space Agency FriendsofNASA.org: Experience what it was like inside the Orion spacecraft alongside the Artemis II crew during Earth atmospheric reentry and splashdown. The Orion spacecraft successfully splashed down on Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean following its approximate 10-day journey around the Moon carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. The first crewed test flight of NASA’s Artemis Program lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1, 2026, carrying the first astronauts to travel to the Moon in more than half a century. The crew completed a record-setting lunar flyby, taking them 252,756 miles at their farthest distance from Earth and 4,067 miles above the lunar surface at their closest approach.

Orion Crew Module Separates from Service Module | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission FriendsofNASA.org: Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of NASA's Artemis II Moon Mission and prior to landing, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module—carrying the astronauts—separated from the European Service Module (ESM) that provided propulsion and power throughout their journey.

Crew Thanks Public Supporters Worldwide | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission FriendsofNASA.org: "A thank you, in their own words . . ." 🫶 The Artemis II crew wanted to share their thanks to everyone that followed along during their journey, and to remind us that there is more human exploration coming. The first crewed test flight of NASA’s Artemis program lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1, 2026, carrying the first astronauts to travel to the Moon in more than half a century. During their nearly 10-day mission, the crew completed a record-setting lunar flyby, taking them 252,756 miles at their farthest distance from Earth and 4,067 miles above the lunar surface at their closest approach. Artemis II splashed down at 8:07 p.m. April 10 in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego. Following splashdown and recovery, the four crew members underwent post-mission medical evaluations before returning to shore and boarding an aircraft bound for Houston. Upon arrival, the crew was welcomed by and reunited with their families, friends, and agency workforce. The crew now will begin their postflight reconditioning, medical and human performance evaluations, and lunar science debriefs. Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

NASA Artemis III Rocket Core Stage Processing | Kennedy Space Center Support FriendsofNASA.org: In this edited timelapse video, technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida complete operations of lifting and lowering the agency’s Artemis III Space Launch System (SLS) core stage into High Bay 2 in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA Kennedy on Monday, May 4, 2026. Using a one-of-a kind lifting beam designed to lift the core stage from the transfer aisle to High Bay 2 for additional assembly, teams will connect the core stage to the engine section. This marks the first time core stage assembly operations being conducted at the spaceport for future Artemis missions. Artemis III will launch astronauts into Earth orbit aboard the Orion spacecraft on top of SLS in 2027 to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and other commercial spacecraft that are needed to land Artemis IV astronauts on the Moon in 2028.
