Important update: In the coming weeks, NASA's Orion Spacecraft X account will be archived. To consolidate our social media presence, we will post future updates about the Orion spacecraft via @NASA_Johnson and @NASAArtemis.

What’s it like inside the spacecraft that will take astronauts to the Moon?

Jason Hutt, Orion Systems Engineering & Integration Manager at @NASA_Johnson, takes us inside a mockup of the Orion spacecraft that will carry crew to the Moon on the @NASAArtemis II mission.

This morning, the Artemis II Orion left the spacecraft factory in the Operations and Checkout building @NASAKennedy and is on its way to the Multi-Payload Processing Facility for fueling.

Handing over the keys to Orion!

Lockheed Martin completed assembly of the Artemis II Orion spacecraft and handed the vehicle over to NASA Orion, which in turn transferred it to @NASAGroundSys for processing.

Next, Orion will roll via transporter to @NASAKennedy's MPPF for fueling.
