NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist, and Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, walk on the crew access arm of the mobile launcher in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025.
On Aug. 11 and 12, teams with the agency’s Exploration Ground Systems Program along with NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, practiced launch day operations if launch occurs at night. They simulated putting their spacesuits on and driving to the launch pad as well as emergency procedures they would use in the unlikely event of an emergency during the launch countdown requiring them to evacuate the launch pad.
Through the Artemis campaign, NASA will send astronauts to explore the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

美国国家航空航天局（NASA）阿尔忒弥斯2号任务专家克里斯蒂娜·科赫（Christina Koch）与飞行员维克托·格洛弗（Victor Glover），于2025年8月12日（周二）走在佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心的移动发射平台组装大楼内的宇航员登舱通道上。
8月11日和12日，NASA探索地面系统计划团队与宇航员里德·怀斯曼（Reid Wiseman）、维克托·格洛弗、克里斯蒂娜·科赫以及加拿大航天局（CSA）宇航员杰里米·汉森（Jeremy Hansen）一起，演练了若发射在夜间进行时的操作流程。他们模拟了穿戴宇航服、前往发射台以及在发射倒计时过程中出现紧急情况时的撤离程序。
通过阿尔忒弥斯计划，NASA将把宇航员送上月球，开展科学探索，推动经济发展，并为未来首次载人火星任务奠定基础。
