With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. The program includes the world most powerful rocket system and the new Orion spacecraft.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft will carry crew to lunar orbit where they will transfer to a human landing system or the Gateway. Crew will use the spacecraft to return safely home to Earth, which has been built to withstand the extreme heat experienced upon re-entry into the atmosphere.

NASA recently held a challenge for students to draw the Orion, to put the “art” in Artemis. Asher Warren’s drawing was entered and used to inspire a new generation of kids to get ready for the moon and beyond.
