Media are invited to view NASA’s Orion spacecraft for upcoming Artemis
missions at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this summer.
Engineers are in different phases of assembling and outfitting Orions for
Artemis II through IV inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout
Building at NASA Kennedy. Subject matter experts will be available for
interviews.
A specific date for the event will be determined as engineers refine
production schedules. Attendance for this event is open to U.S. and
international media, and space is limited. Media must apply by 5 p.m. EDT
Sunday, June 25, at:
https://media.ksc.nasa.gov [1]
Credentialed media will receive a confirmation email upon approval. For
questions about accreditation, please email
Kennedy’s newsroom: 321-867-2468.
NASA is preparing to join the Orion [3] crew and service modules in the
coming months ahead of Artemis II [4], the first crewed mission under
Artemis. Technicians are welding subsystem components of the Artemis III crew
module throughout the summer. The Artemis IV Orion crew module arrived to
Kennedy in February for initial outfitting.
Through Artemis missions, NASA will use innovative technologies to explore
more of the lunar surface than ever before and collaborate with commercial
and international partners. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the
Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
