'Rise' Zero Gravity Indicator: "Meet My Maker" | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission
"The Thermal Blanket Lab is where technicians make clothes—but for spacecraft."
The Moon mascot for the Artemis II Mission is flying along with the crew, carrying 5,647,889 names on their journey around the Moon. People from around the world submitted their names through the Send Your Name with Artemis campaign. These names were downloaded onto an SD card that is safely stored inside Rise, the zero gravity indicator designed by 3rd grader Lucas Ye from California.
The zero gravity indicator for the Moonbound crew was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries and is named “Rise.” The design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission.
During the selection process, the crew narrowed a list of 25 finalists to five top designs, including:
“Big Steps of Little Octopus,” Anzhelika Iudakova, Finland
“Corey the Explorer,” Daniela Colina, Peru
“Creation Mythos,” Johanna Beck, McPherson, Kansas
“Lepus the Moon Rabbit,” Oakville Trafalgar School, Canada
“Rise,” Lucas Ye, Mountain View, California
NASA’s Artemis II Mission is taking Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft.
