The crew modules for NASA’s Artemis 2, 3 and 4 missions are currently stationed next to one another at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with the three spacecraft undergoing different stages of production for their upcoming launch dates.

NASA recently shared a group photo of its Orion crew capsules inside the high bay of the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building, revealing the spacecraft trio coming together ahead of humanity’s return to the Moon.

The Artemis 2 spacecraft is designed to carry astronauts on a journey to the Moon and back in late 2024. NASA technicians recently installed the heat shield on the Artemis 2 Orion capsule, which is designed to protect the crew and the spacecraft during its reentry through Earth’s atmosphere. Orion’s heat shield will experience scorching temperatures as high as 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,760 Celsius), or about half as hot at the Sun, during its return, according to NASA.
