Four astronauts will venture around the Moon in an Orion spacecraft on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration. The approximately 10-day flight will test NASA’s foundational human deep space exploration capabilities, the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, for the first time with astronauts.
Before NASA’s Orion spacecraft for the Artemis II mission can be outfitted with its solar array wings, teams at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center must first verify that the arrays extend and close properly. On March 17, 2023, technicians inside the Florida spaceport’s Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building unfurled one of the wings to confirm all mechanisms operate as expected.
