For most, getting into a car is a task that can be done without assistance. Yet for those whose destination is the Moon, the process of getting inside and secured - in this case, in NASA's Orion spacecraft - requires help. That's the role of the Artemis closeout crew.
Trained to support Artemis II and future Moon missions, the five closeout crew members will be the last people to see NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen before their lunar journey.
For Artemis II, the closeout crew members on launch day will be Hose, astronaut support personnel Andre Douglas, Orion Crew Survival Suit Insert Technician Bill Owens, and Orion technicians Christian Warriner and Ricky Ebaugh.
