An artist’s concept of two suited Artemis crew members working on the lunar surface. The samples collected during future Artemis missions will continue to advance our knowledge of the solar system and help us understand the history and formation of Earth and the Moon, uncovering some of the mysteries that have long eluded scientists.

Exploration Ground Systems

Framed by a blue sky and white clouds, NASA’s mobile launcher — a vertical, rectangular structure constructed of gray metal and open scaffolding — seemingly rises into the sky. At the top of the structure is an American flag waving in the wind. The mobile launcher sits atop Crawler Transporter-2 — a flat, square platform that carries heavy structures to the launch pad on tooth-metal wheels, or sprockets, which are commonly seen on tanks. Crawler Transporter-2 also has an American flag affixed to the front, which lies flat against the structure.

NASA’s mobile launcher, atop Crawler Transporter-2, is at the entrance to High Bay 3 at the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on Sept. 8, 2018, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This is the first time that the modified mobile launcher made the trip to the pad and the VAB. The mobile launcher is the structure that is used to assemble, process, and launch the SLS rocket.

Backdropped by a nearly cloudless blue sky, Crawler Transporter-2 — a flat, square platform that carries heavy structures to the launch pad on tooth-metal wheels, or sprockets, which are commonly seen on tanks — dominates the foreground of the image as it moves away from the launch pad. In the background near the right-hand side of the image, and in between two metal tower structures and one metal water tower, NASA’s SLS rocket with Orion spacecraft aboard is seen connected to and in front of the mobile launcher at Launch Pad 39B on Nov. 4, 2022. The orange core stage of the SLS rocket stands out from the white solid rocket boosters at each side and white Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage and white Orion capsule topping it.

After Orion splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, the spacecraft was recovered by personnel on the USS Portland from the U.S. Department of Defense, including Navy amphibious specialists, Space Force weather specialists, and Air Force specialists, as well as engineers and technicians from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, and Lockheed Martin Space Operations. Personnel from NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems led the recovery efforts.

Backdropped against the pastel hues of a dawn sky, at left in the image is the Vehicle Assembly Building, a square, windowless building with gray accents and an enormous, painted American flag next to another painted NASA insignia, nicknamed the “meatball.” At right, the towering, interconnected structures of NASA’s crawler transporter, mobile launcher, and SLS rocket with Orion spacecraft atop roll out toward Launch Complex 39B for the first time on March 17, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The scene is framed by shadowed vegetation and a large body of water in the foreground.

Gateway

Above a small section of the Moon’s cratered and pock-marked upper sphere, the Gateway space station hosting the Orion spacecraft and SpaceX’s deep space logistics spacecraft is seen hovering at top right in the image while in a polar orbit around the Moon. Against the pitch-black backdrop, darkened solar arrays highlighted with a golden mesh pattern are oriented north and south at the front, or far left, of the space station. Gateway is a long white-and-gray tubular structure with an east-west orientation within the image, with the triangular-shaped Orion capsule docked to the far right of it — the spacecraft’s four white solar arrays evenly outstretched in the shape of an “x.”

The Gateway space station hosts the Orion spacecraft and SpaceX’s deep space logistics spacecraft in a polar orbit around the Moon, supporting scientific discovery on the lunar surface during the Artemis IV mission.

Dominating the frame of this background is the Gateway space station’s HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) module, a giant silver-colored metal tunnel formed of segments welded together. A light source at the end of the tunnel shines toward the viewer, illuminating a grid-like pattern within the metallic sections. At each side, two large portholes open to the outside. HALO is seen here within a large building in Turin, Italy, where it was welded and tested.

The Gateway space station’s HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) module, one of two of Gateway’s habitation elements where astronauts will live, conduct science, and prepare for lunar surface missions, successfully completed welding in Turin, Italy. Following a series of tests to ensure its safety, the future home for astronauts will travel to Gilbert, Arizona, for final outfitting ahead of launch to lunar orbit. Gateway will be humanity’s first space station in lunar orbit and is an essential component of the Artemis campaign to return humans to the Moon for scientific discovery and chart a path for human missions to Mars.

Lunar Surface

In this artist’s concept, the SpaceX Starship human lander stands on the gray, undulating surface of the Moon against a jet-black backdrop. The lander is almost all white except for black accents near its “legs” and a thin black stripe near the top of the conical rocket. Above the thin black stripe is a miniature American flag and NASA worm insignia. Near the top of the lander is a row of 10 illuminated windows in a softened rectangular shape. A black “x” SpaceX insignia marks the bottom of the lander.

Artist’s concept of SpaceX Starship Human Landing System, or HLS, which is slated to transport astronauts to and from the lunar surface during Artemis III and IV.

In this artist’s concept, two crew members in white spacesuits — one kneeling, another standing — work on the gray lunar surface of the Moon to the right of Blue Origin’s Blue Moon MK-2 lander. Comprised of three connected elements in a shape reminiscent of a wide rocket ship, the lander concept is white, with a NASA meatball logo near the top and an American flag near the bottom portion. Metallic gold legs buttress out from the bottom of the lander to give it stability on the uneven regolith. In the distance is slightly undulating lunar terrain and Earth, partially hidden in shadow, rising above the lunar horizon.

Driving into the frame at the left of the virtual background, this concept image shows the “Moon buggy” for NASA’s Artemis missions — the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) — occupied by two astronauts in white spacesuits and helmets with gold visors. This LTV concept has a silver-colored open metal frame, reminiscent of off-roading sport vehicles, along with deeply grooved tires for traction on the uneven lunar terrain. A NASA insignia decal is on the LTV frame above the left front tire, along with an American flag decal on the frame above the right front tire. In the background, the undulating lunar terrain framed by the pitch-black backdrop of space.

On flight day 13 during Artemis I, Orion reached its maximum distance from Earth at 268,563 miles away from our home planet, traveling farther than any other spacecraft built for humans.

In this first high-resolution image, taken on the first day of the Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft’s service module is seen at left, seemingly framing a slightly blurred Earth to its right with one dark, rectangular solar array. Intricate reddish wires cover the solar array like fine threads. The spacecraft, gleaming white, is slightly shadowed against the black expanse of space.
Credit: NASA

This first high-resolution image, taken on the first day of the Artemis I mission, was captured by a camera on the tip of one of Orion’s solar arrays. The spacecraft was 57,000 miles from home and distancing itself from planet Earth as it approached the Moon and distant retrograde orbit.

      I am Artemis: Mike Lauer
      By NASA
      Mike Lauer manages production of the RS-25 main engines for NASA’s heavy-lift SLS (Space Launch System), which will launch U.S. astronauts back to the Moon as part of the agency’s Artemis campaign. L3 Harris Technologies Mike Lauer, an engineer who works for the Aerojet Rocketdyne segment of L3Harris Technologies, found his career inspiration in science fiction, but for the perspective it takes to execute complex space programs, he draws on real-world experience.
      Growing up, Lauer spent many cold winter nights in the basement of his Sioux Falls, South Dakota, home, creating pictures of iconic space hardware from Hollywood space movies. “That really is what got me into it,” he says.
      Fast forward to today, and he’s managing production of the RS-25 main engines for NASA’s heavy-lift SLS (Space Launch System), which will launch U.S. astronauts back to the Moon as part of the agency’s Artemis campaign. When the scale and complexity of the undertaking appear daunting, Lauer thinks back to early in his career, when he designed hardware for the International Space Station, now in its third decade on orbit.
      “It just seemed to me that there’s no way this was going to work, but we just kept building and solving problems and the next thing you know, we’re launching space station parts,” Lauer says. “Having that experience of seeing a program that seemed too big, too complex, and it worked, gives me great hope and confidence that we can do it again with Artemis.”
      Lauer has family ties to space. His father, Don Lauer, ran the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earth Resources Observation and Science Center in Sioux Falls, a repository for data collected by NASA’s long-running Landsat series of land imaging satellites. Lauer’ father even spent time at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, home to the Agency’s human spaceflight program, exploring the role of astronauts in Earth observation from space.
      But it was an artist’s fascination with fictional hardware –– that ultimately led Mike Lauer to earn his bachelor and master’s degrees in Aeronautical & Astronautical engineering from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. “With engineering in general, there’s a connection with art,” Lauer says. “We create these things that have an artistic aesthetic to them, which is really cool.”
      Cool is a word Lauer, a licensed pilot, deploys frequently in describing his career journey, understandably so. For example, he once participated in a space station assembly rehearsal with veteran astronaut Jerry Ross at Johnson’s Neutral Buoyancy Facility, a giant pool used to help train astronauts for spacewalks. “I’m in this spacesuit and Jerry Ross is in this spacesuit and we’re plugging in elements of the space station,” Lauer says, almost in disbelief. “Oh my gosh!”
      While serving as Aerojet Rocketdyne’s lead engineer on the Multi Mission Radioisotope Thermo-electric Generator program, Lauer visited the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory to observe the loading of Plutonium 238 nuclear fuel into the device, which continues to power NASA’s car-sized Curiosity rover on the Martian surface. “Super cool,” he says.
      For his next move, Lauer figured that, being at Aerojet Rocketdyne (now L3Harris), builder of the engines on NASA’s legendary Saturn V Moon rocket, he should get into the propulsion side of the business. He began on the J-2X, a modified version of the Saturn V’s second stage engine that NASA had planned at one point to use on the SLS. Working from 1960s era drawings, Lauer and his team created a modern, easier-to-produce design with more power that had a successful series of hot-fire tests before being replaced in favor of a different upper stage design.
      Now, as RS-25 program director, Lauer works on another engine, this one originally designed for NASA’s now-retired Space Shuttle, updating and redesigning key components to meet new requirements and reduce production costs. The SLS flew its first mission without a crew, but upcoming flights will have astronauts aboard, which gives Lauer a huge sense of pride and responsibility.
      “I’m awed and inspired by what we’re doing,” he says. “Really cool.”
      Also really cool: Lauer serves as a volunteer pilot for the Civil Air Patrol, supporting the U.S. Air Force on search and rescue, disaster relief, and fire damage assessment missions. That keeps him busy on many weekends when he’s not refereeing youth soccer.
      Aside from that, Lauer most looks forward to the day four NASA astronauts are safely aboard their recovery ship at the successful conclusion of the first human moon landing in more than five decades.
