Overview
- Registration is open worldwide and free, with submissions collected through NASA’s official Artemis II name portal.
- Participants must enter a name and create a personal PIN to retrieve their pass, and NASA warns the PIN cannot be recovered if lost.
- Submitted names will fly inside the Orion spacecraft on a memory card during the crewed lunar flyby mission.
- Artemis II is planned as a roughly 10‑day test flight to validate Orion, the Space Launch System, and deep‑space operations without a lunar landing.
- The crew comprises NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, with launch targeted no later than April 2026 from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39.
