NASA Artemis II Mission: How to Train for The Moon | Johnson Space Center
Before the Artemis II crew journeys to the Moon inside the Orion spacecraft, they will spend countless hours practicing every aspect of their mission. At NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the Artemis II crew trains inside Orion simulators to practice procedures, troubleshoot malfunctions, and work through realistic mission scenarios. This training ensures the astronauts and flight control team are ready to operate Orion’s systems and respond to any challenge during the 10-day flight.
From learning the fundamentals of Orion’s life support systems to conducting integrated simulations with flight controllers, every training session helps ensure mission success. Using Johnson’s full-scale Orion mockup in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility and simulators like the Orion Mission Simulator and the Beta Dome, the crew is prepared for any scenario they may encounter aboard Orion during Artemis II.
This is how to train for the Moon.
The Artemis II test flight will take Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), around the Moon and back to Earth
