Artemis 2 moon suits ready to make history | Space photo of the day for Jan. 30, 2026

Four bright orange spacesuits with the circular NASA logo and American and Canadian flags on the arms hang on a rack in the middle of an empty room with chairs to the right and an image on the back white wall of two astronauts looking at each other.

NASA's Artemis program is working to achieve something the U.S. hasn't done in more than 50 years: send humans back to the moon (and establish facilities needed for sustainable living on the lunar surface, which has never been done).

To get there, though, many steps have to be taken, from the big ones, like making sure the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion crew capsule integrate perfectly, to the small ones, like ensuring each astronaut's suit fits comfortably.
