    Artemis II

    Artemis II was an astronaut moon mission that flew in 2026. Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen and three NASA astronauts flew around the far side of the moon to test the Orion spacecraft for future moon missions. Funding for the robotic Canadarm3 system paid for Hansen’s participation on the flight. CSA astronaut Jenni Gibbons served as Hansen’s backup and communicated with the astronauts during the lunar flyby. The mission served as an example of international collaboration and included other contributions from Canada such as the development of an exercise flywheel and space-friendly food.
