L’équipage d’Artemis II incite les jeunes Canadiennes et Canadiens à voir plus grand, à viser plus haut et à explorer plus loin.

Final checks in progress.🛠️🏒
Atmosphere: Electric. 
All systems are GO HABS GO! 🔵⚪🔴

It feels incredible to be home and back at the Canadian Space Agency with Jenni, Reid, Christina and Victor.

Canadians across the nation have expressed how proud they are of our role in this historic mission. Representing our country during this mission has been incredibly meaningful.

Thank you to the CSA for the warm welcome.

Accueilli par la ministre Mélanie Joly lors de leur première visite au Canada après leur mission, l’équipage d’Artemis II était de passage à l’ASC pour parler de leur aventure. L’astronaute de l’ASC Jenni Gibbons, qui était capcom lunaire pendant la mission, était également présente. Un moment inoubliable!

Copy, Moon joy!  🌕✨🥹

Welcomed by Minister Mélanie Joly on their first visit back to Canada, the Artemis II crew visited our headquarters to talk about their journey. CSA astronaut Jenni Gibbons, who worked as lunar capcom during the mission, joined them. A truly unforgettable moment!

New Moon. 🎧🔊On. The moment we first shared the far side.

Yes, Apollo missions went around the far side of the moon. However, they didn’t see all of it. Here’s why.

First, the far side was often dark when they orbited. This is because they landed on the near side, so it needed to be light for the astronauts exploring the surface. Since only half of the moon is lit by the sun at any given time, when the near side is lit, the far side is at least partly dark.

Second, Apollo saw small swaths of the surface of the moon as they orbited. This is because they were at a very low altitude and thus had a small, close-up field of view. When we flew around the moon, we were high enough that we saw an entire half at once, but farther away.

The part of the far side that was lit included an absolutely incredible, massive and significant crater basin named Orientale. It had never been fully observed before in person.

And that is how you all brought human eyes to see a new part of the solar system.

It was an honour to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney alongside my Artemis II crewmates and Jenni.

I presented the Canadian flag that travelled aboard Orion. That flag represents far more than a mission; it represents the dedication, talent, and spirit of Canadians from coast to coast who make exploration possible.

I am deeply grateful for the support Canadians continue to show our crew and our space program.

Ce fut un grand honneur de rencontrer le premier ministre Mark Carney aux côtés de mes coéquipiers d’Artemis II et de Jenni.

J’ai eu le privilège de lui remettre le drapeau canadien qui a voyagé à bord d’Orion. Ce drapeau représente bien plus qu’une mission : il incarne le dévouement, le talent et l’esprit des Canadiennes et Canadiens d’un océan à l’autre qui rendent l’exploration possible.

Artemis II inspire la prochaine génération! 🚀✨

L’équipage s’est arrêté au @museedelanature pour rencontrer des jeunes Canadiens et Canadiennes. Ils ont partagé leurs histoires, éveillé la curiosité et montré qu’on peut réaliser de grands rêves quand on travaille en équipe. 💫👩‍🚀

Artemis II is inspiring the next generation! 🚀✨

The crew stopped by the @museumofnature to meet Canadian youth—sharing stories, sparking curiosity, and proving that big dreams are possible to achieve when working as a team. 💫👩‍🚀

Life inside Orion!

From April 1-10, the Artemis II astronauts lived and worked inside of the Orion spacecraft, which they named Integrity. NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @Astro_Christina, @AstroVicGlover, and @CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut @AstroJeremy spent those ten days observing the Moon and the Earth, collecting scientific data, and maintaining operations on the spacecraft.

The Moon joy was (and continues to be!) contagious as the Artemis II mission flew around the Moon and broke the record for farthest distance traveled from Earth.
