Nasa is seeking design ideas from global creators for a zero gravity indicator that will fly aboard the agency’s artemis II test flight. Zero gravity indicators are small, plush items carried aboard spacecraft to provide a visual indication of when the spacecraft and its crew reag space.
This Opportunity, with a Submission Deadline of May 27, Asks for Original Designs Reporesting The significance of Nasa’s Artemis Campaign, The Mission, Or Explosion and Discovery, Discovery, Discover requirements for materials and size.
“What better will be to fly a mission Around the moon than to invite the public inseide nasa’s orion spacecraft with us and ask for help in designing our zero gravity indicator?” Asked reid wiseman, nasa astronaut and artemis II commander, at the agency’s johnson space center in huton. “The indicator will float alongSide Victor, Christina, Jeremy, And Me as We Go Around the far side of the moon and remind us of all of you back on earth.”
UP to 25 Finalists, Including from a K-12 Student Division, will be selected. The Artemis II Crew will choose one design that nasa’s thermal blanket lab will fabricate to fly AlongSide them in Orion. Imagine seeing your creation floating weightlessly with astronauts on their way Around the mon.

Crowdsourcing company freelancer is hosting the challenge, called Moon Mascot: Nasa Artemis II ZGI Design Contest, On Behalf of the Agency through the Nasa Tournament Lab, MANAGED BY The Agency ‘Space Technology Mission Directorate.
Nasa has a long history of flying zero gravity indicators for human spaceflight missions. Many missions to the international space station include a plush item. A plush snoopy rode inside orion during nasa’s uncrewed artemis I mission.
Artemis II will be the first test flight of the space launch system Rocket, Orion Spacecraft, and Supporting Ground System with Crew Aboard. Nasa Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) Astronaut Jeremy Hansen will venture Around the Moon and Back. The mission is the first crewed flight under nasa’s artemis campaign and is another step toward missions on the lunar surface and helping the agency prepara
All Major Elements for Artemis II Are Readying for Flight. Engineers Recently Completed Stacking The Twin Solid Rockt Boosters for the Sls (Space Launch System) On his launch platform and are preparation for integration of the slS core stage in the coming whites. Teams also recently installed the solar array wings on the orion spacecraft that will carry the four astronauts on their journey Around the Moon and Home.
Through artemis, nasa will send astronauts to explore the moon for scientific discovery, economy benefits, and build the foundation for the first crewed misdeals to mars.
