The four spacesuits to be worn by the Artemis 2 crew hang in the suit-up room of the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building.
The spacesuits designed for the Artemis 2 mission are purposeful, with the high-visibility orange helping make them stand out.
This is because, while Artemis 2 is the first crewed mission to return to the area around the moon, the mission won't actually land on the lunar surface itself.
Instead, the four astronauts will take a 10-day journey around the moon to help calibrate systems for future missions like Artemis 3 and Artemis 4 , which will actually land on the moon.
With a historic moon mission on the line, every detail is key to focus on and ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
