Artemis II mission – Media accreditation to view Orion spacecraft

Media representatives are invited to view the Orion spacecraft at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this summer.

Longueuil, Quebec, June 16, 2023 — Media representatives are invited to view the Orion spacecraft at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this summer.

The Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket are humanity's ride back to the Moon. The powerful duo proved themselves during the uncrewed Artemis I test flight last fall. In 2024, Orion will bring a crew around the Moon during Artemis II. Jeremy Hansen will be the first Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut to fly around the Moon as part of the mission.

Canadian media wishing to attend the event must apply by 5:00 p.m. ET on June 25 at https://media.ksc.nasa.gov.

For questions about accreditation, please email ksc-media-accreditat@mail.nasa.gov. For more information, please consult NASA's media advisory.

Media interested in interviews with CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen or experts may contact the CSA's Media Relations Office.
