Artemis II Cryo & Terminal Count Sim - Day 1

Members of the Artemis launch team pose for a holiday group photo in Firing Room 2 inside the Launch Control Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024. Teams participated in a cryogenic and terminal count simulation for Artemis II. The simulations go through launch day scenarios to help launch team members test software and make any necessary adjustments during countdown operations. Four astronauts will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence for science and exploration through Artemis.
