Our Friend Orion

This is the second in a series of children’s books that introduces young explorers ages 3 to 8 to some of the unique elements needed for the Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon, like NASA’s Orion spacecraft and SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. Working together, the mighty SLS rocket and dependable Orion spacecraft will carry a crew of astronauts to deep space destinations. Once in space, Orion is designed to sustain the crew inside during space travel and provide safe re-entry for their return home.

NASA is working to send humans back to the Moon to live, learn, and explore through the Artemis campaign. As a member of the Artemis Generation, NASA invites you to be a part of the story.
