Exploring the Moon with Artemis 2 — Part 2: Exploring the Moon with Artemis 2 — Part 2: How It Works

Section 1 of 6

What Parts Work Together?

What are the main parts of the Artemis 2 mission and how do they collaborate? The Artemis 2 mission is like a big machine made of many parts working together. The most essential components include the Space Launch System (SLS), the Orion spacecraft, and the ground support systems. The SLS functions like a powerful rocket engine that launches the spacecraft into space. Once in orbit, the Orion spacecraft becomes the astronauts’ home and control center as they travel around the moon. Ground control on Earth is like the pilots in command, making sure everything goes as planned. These parts depend on each other; the SLS gets Orion into space, and Orion relies on ground control to navigate its journey.
