Overview
- NASA is accepting applications via the Kennedy Space Center media site, and even current annual badge holders must apply for Artemis II access.
- Deadlines are Nov. 30 for international media without U.S. citizenship and Dec. 8 for U.S. outlets, with Canadian officials noting this is the only application window.
- Approved journalists will receive confirmation and logistics by email, and on-site capacity is limited due to high interest.
- Accredited media can attend pre-launch events such as the rollout of the integrated Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft several weeks before liftoff.
- The mission will send Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen on an approximately 10-day lunar flyaround from Kennedy Space Center to validate systems for future crewed lunar landings.
