Yes, there are GoPros strapped to Orion. From smartphones to DSLRs, could Artemis II become one of the most photographed space flights in history?

NASA’s Space Launch System rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft with NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, commander; Victor Glover, pilot; Christina Koch, mission specialist; and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist onboard launches on the Artemis II mission, Wednesday, April 1, 2026, from Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis II mission will take Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft.

NASA has done something many people do: strapped on a GoPro when about to do something really cool.

More than 50 years have passed since humans have traveled to the moon for the sake of science – but beyond the space tech itself, the cameras the astronauts are using aboard Artemis II are wildly different than the Hasselblads that were abandoned on the lunar surface in 1969.
