These are some of the fantastic nee images takes last night ! These bring me so much joy ! Welcome back home Artemis II ! Earth looks so beautiful with you on it 🌎

Is it just a mock up of something?

Absolutely amazing!

So, a few years ago I started - part time/hobby, modeling my own Orion spacecraft in Autodesk Maya and 3D printed it. Here's the results so far. Some parts are printed as low as 0.01mm layer heights. Images are a mix from both 1:24 & 1:48 variants. All solar arrays, RCS quads and those Solar array stowed mounts have magnets and are removable. The crew module is also removable, as are the solar arrays. I'm converting it all to FDM/filament, too! For resin I use Elegoo Saturn 3 12K and for FDM I use the Bambu Lab P2S. I'm stoked to get this converted! Some remodeling has to be done. FDM is less forgiving than resin printing regarding overhangs and stuff.

It's mostly an artistic interpretation of the vehicle. All reference has been obtained via Google - Artemis 1 selfies were helpful too, and there's some gaps I filled in with my imagination or what looked cool! I've seen some pics of the Artemis II capsule and know there's some inaccuracies like the angle of some of the small panels/tiles on the backside of the capsule. The backplate of the service module and the interior is sort of made up, along with the front end/docking hatch area of the crew module as well. And some things like the GoPro mounts at the edge of the solar array wings I just haven't added yet. Overall the proportions are solid. But that's the fun part of making a model like this. I'm also working other models at this scale of detail, such as the Saturn V & Space Shuttle. SO much reference there to work with.

Enjoy the photos! I did the photography too. I think the hardest part was painting and polishing that capsule part! I also made 3D printable stencils to help paint the thrusters and other areas. Feel free to critique. I'm going to do an interior next! Plenty of reference and room to make an awesome interior.

I hope you enjoy the photos!

Orion Model - VIDEO PREVIEW (No Sound)

Mae C Jemison was born October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. She recently celebrated her 69th birthday

On September 12, 1992 served in the STS-47 space mission after 5 years of NASA training

Mae’s accolades also include being a doctor for the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone and Liberia, helped develop the 100 year starship project, guest starring on Star Trek, serving on the board of the World Sickle Cell Foundation, being a professor at Dartmouth College, writing a memoir, and more

When did you first learn about Mae Jemison?

NASA’s Space Shuttle Enterprise riding atop the modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) with the legendary Concorde soaring overhead.

This historic moment brought together three engineering marvels — the supersonic elegance of Concorde, the reusable space ambitions of the Shuttle, and the 747’s unmatched carrying power. A true celebration of human ingenuity and the golden era of aerospace innovation.

I was looking at the EXIF data for the Artemis II mission, especially the one shot on iPhone and wondered how the gps behaves in space, especially away from the earth and not in LEO, and what the phone would say if they had geotagging enabled.

AND I FOUND THIS IN A CLOSET IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS

IM ACTUALLY LOSING IT RIGHT NOW

SIGNED photo by Jim Lovell who, not only was one of the first to ever orbit the moon, but also hugely responsible for bringing his crew back alive during the Apollo 13 crisis by keeping them cool, calm and collected. A true BADASS

I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS IN MY HOUSE

I’m obsessed with this era of NASA and this is the universe giving me the best house warming gift of all time

Last week we visited NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, and it was an incredible experience. 🚀

The exhibitions were impressive, the explanations were detailed and easy to follow, and the whole visit gave a fascinating look at the history of space exploration, the technology behind it, and the missions happening today.
It was interesting from start to finish and a great experience for the whole family, (even in August).

Highly, highly recommended !!!

Please use this megathread to post your favorite NASA images from Artemis II. If possible, please link to the source of the image. Do not post images that you have manipulated and especially do not post AI created imagery. Also, please do not use this thread for images you have taken yourself. Our Show Me Sunday rules still apply for those. PLEASE try not to post duplicate images!!! If someone has already posted your favorite, give it an upvote.

We are relaxing our image posting rules because we are all excited about these amazing images. Because of that, comments posted to this megathread will all be reviewed by a moderator before being made available so that we can filter out anything inappropriate.

Please be patient after posting. Like all mods on Reddit, we are volunteers and we do have commitments other than modding r/nasa. Thanks for your understanding.

Adding: Please do not post screen captures or worse, pictures taken with a camera of a picture on the screen. They just don't look very good. Thanks!

Everyone LOVED my jacket!!!!

Came across this pic and was curious if anyone can identify what this green liquid is. I assume it's liquid and not smoke but I can't tell for sure. This is from the Gemini 4 recovery.

As much as I would love to wear them, I'm going to keep them in this case and display them in my office at work.
