Artemis II crewmembers (left to right) NASA astronauts Christina Koch, mission specialist; and Victor Glover, pilot; CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist; and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, commander are led by Bill Owens of the Closeout Crew from the elevator at the 275-foot level of the mobile launcher to the crew access arm as they prepare to board their Orion spacecraft atop NASA’s Space Launch System rocket during the Artemis II countdown demonstration test, Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. For this operation, the Artemis II crew and launch teams are simulating the launch day timeline including suit-up, walkout, and spacecraft ingress and egress.
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, for the benefit of all.

在2025年12月20日星期六，于佛罗里达州NASA肯尼迪航天中心的车辆组装大楼内，阿尔忒弥斯2号任务机组成员从左至右依次为NASA宇航员克里斯蒂娜·科赫（任务专家）、维克托·格洛弗（飞行员）、加拿大航天局宇航员杰里米·汉森（任务专家）以及NASA宇航员里德·怀斯曼（指令长）。他们在近距离收尾小组成员B比尔·欧文斯的带领下，从移动发射架275英尺高度的电梯出发，前往机组人员接入臂，准备登上位于NASA太空发射系统火箭顶部的猎户座飞船。这一流程属于阿尔忒弥斯2号任务倒计时演练测试的一部分，机组人员与发射团队在此次演练中完整模拟了发射日时间线，包括穿戴航天服、出舱行进以及飞船进出舱等环节。
通过阿尔忒弥斯计划，NASA将把宇航员送往月球开展科学探索、创造经济效益，并为人类首次载人火星任务奠定基础，惠及全人类。
