Artemis II mission
This is the spacecraft carrying the Artemis II crew around the Moon.
What is Orion?
Many NASA astronauts come from this profession before joining space missions.
Military or test pilot
The Moon orbits this planet.
Earth
The Earth has this many natural satellites.
One
From orbit around the Moon, Artemis II will capture unique, high‑resolution images of this blue planet.
Earth
Artemis II’s crew consists of these many astronauts.
Four
Despite flying to the Moon, astronauts’ salaries are generally within this range in U.S. dollars.
$90,000–$160,000 per year
Mars is a planet of particular interest because scientists hope to find this.
Past or present life (microbial)
Jupiter has this many confirmed moons as of 2026.
95
Photos of Earth from Artemis II can help scientists study changes in this, including storms, forests and oceans.
The Environment
This country’s astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, represents it on Artemis II.
Canada
Artemis II astronauts do not include a dedicated professional one of these, often found in laboratories.
A scientist
The Moon is classified as this, rather than a planet.
A natural satellite?
This Saturn moon is larger than the planet Mercury.
Titan
Viewing Earth from space has historically inspired a movement focused on protecting this shared planetary resource.
The Earth's ecosystems or The Environment
The closest distance Artemis II has flown to the Moon’s surface, in kilometres.
100Km
The reason astronauts train near the Moon before going to Mars is that it is this type of stepping stone.
A safe test environment for deep-space operations
This is one of the main reasons we explore the Moon before sending humans to Mars.
To test spacecraft systems and life support in a nearby, safer environment
Neptune’s largest moon, which is geologically active and has retrograde orbit, is called this.
Triton
Observations from Artemis II will contribute to the global monitoring of natural disasters, such as these sudden destructive events.
Hurricanes, earthquakes or floods.
Artemis II is primarily a mission focused on testing this rather than scientific research.
spacecraft systems and operations
This type of extreme human condition is studied during deep-space missions to prepare for Mars.
Isolation, radiation exposure, and long-duration life support
Artemis II will use this natural force to slingshot around the Moon and return to Earth
Gravity
The total confirmed moons across the solar system is approximately this number.
289
Astronauts aboard Artemis II will test life-support and spaceflight systems while orbiting Earth and the Moon, benefiting future missions to this distant planet.
