Image source: NASA
Story Brief

Welcome to the Artemis II multimedia resource collection. Here, you can view and download mission photographs, behind‑the‑scenes videos, podcasts, and more. The Artemis II mission—NASA's first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years—is a key step toward a long‑term return to the Moon and future crewed missions to Mars.

The Artemis II mission will fly four astronauts around the Moon. This mission will last for approximately 10 days and will be the first crewed test flight of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, the Orion spacecraft, and the Exploration Ground Systems needed to support them.

Explore the Artemis Audio Library to hear the sounds from the Artemis I mission and upcoming Artemis II mission. All sounds are free and available for download for you to integrate into your own music or podcasts.
