Through the 'Send Your Name with Artemis II' initiative, you can have your name launched aboard the Orion spacecraft during a groundbreaking test flight that represents humanity’s next giant leap into deep space. This initiative aims not only to inspire the explorers of tomorrow but also to deepen our connection to the cosmos.

A Cosmic Keepsake Awaits You!

When you participate, your name will be digitally etched onto an SD card, ensuring it embarks on this historic journey with the Orion spacecraft.

Mark Your Calendar: Launch in April 2026!

Scheduled for launch no later than April 2026, Artemis II is set to be the first crewed mission in the Artemis program, lasting approximately 10 days. A crew of four astronauts will make the journey around the Moon and back. This stellar team includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canada’s own Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency.

A Pioneering Step Toward Mars!

Lori Glaze, NASA’s acting associate administrator for the Exploration Systems Development Mission, reiterates the mission's significance, stating: "Artemis II is a key test flight in our effort to return humans to the Moon’s surface and build toward future missions to Mars. It’s also an opportunity to inspire people across the globe and to invite them to partake in humanity’s exploration of the stars."

Join the 'Golden Age of Exploration'!

Glaze emphasizes that this initiative symbolizes a new era of innovation and exploration, inviting everyone to symbolically join the crew as they work towards establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon. This foundation will pave the way for the first human missions to Mars.
