NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said NASA will loan the museum the Orion capsule from the Artemis 1 uncrewed mission.
Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense played a significant role in the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022.
The Orion thermal shield failed during the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022, with cracks forming and pieces of Avcoat material shedding.
The Crew Active Dosimeters were worn by the ATOM phantoms during the Artemis I mission.
Sun Nuclear, a Mirion Medical company, provided custom anthropomorphic ATOM phantoms for NASA’s uncrewed Artemis I mission.
The WB-57F WAVE turret was used to monitor the Artemis 1 launch in 2022 and has been used to monitor Starship launches from Texas.
A wet dress rehearsal for Artemis 2 was cut short because of hydrogen leaks similar to those seen during preparations for Artemis 1 in 2022.
The uncrewed Artemis 1 mission launched in November 2022 after multiple postponements and two failed launch attempts.
Subscale testing of the Orion heat shield material was used to investigate the threat revealed on Artemis 1 and potential mitigations.
On Artemis 1, Orion’s new heat shield did not ablate as designed and massive chunks of the heat shield separated during reentry.
Artemis 1 required extra months of diagnosis and evaluation after wet dress rehearsal due to leaks and other technical issues.
A network of groups and individuals passively tracked radio waves from Artemis 1’s uncrewed round-the-moon mission in 2022.
Design and operations changes were made for Artemis 2 based on lessons learned from Artemis 1.
Artemis II will be the first crewed test flight to the Moon following the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022.
Automation can fly Orion without a crew, as demonstrated by the uncrewed Artemis I mission.
Artemis 1 underwent several rollouts between the pad and the VAB for wet dress rehearsals and multiple launch attempts before launching in November 2022.
Artemis 1 required three wet dress rehearsals between April and June and scrubbed its first two launch attempts in late summer because of propellant leaks.
Artemis II is the first crewed flight of the Artemis program planned to fly around the Moon following the uncrewed Artemis I mission.
The uncrewed Artemis 1 mission flew in November 2022 after multiple postponements and two failed launch attempts.
The heat shield used for Artemis 2 will be the same as that used for Artemis 1 but will undergo a modified reentry profile to reduce heating.
