As NASA gears up next year’s Artemis II test flight, you have an opportunity to add your name to the spacecraft’s digital manifest. The Artemis II crew is shown inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in front of their Orion crew module on August 8, 2023. Following Artemis I’s uncrewed launch in November 2022 and the successful splashdown 25.5 days later, the roughly 10-day Artemis II test flight is scheduled to take off no later than April 2026. It will be the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign. If getting your name aboard a spacecraft is not enough, there is also time to submit your idea for some new moon tires.
