Artemis II Crew Members Name Their Orion Spacecraft (News Release)

The Artemis II crew members named their Orion spacecraft Integrity during a news conference on September 24.

The name Integrity embodies the foundation of trust, respect, candor and humility across the crew and the many engineers, technicians, scientists, planners and dreamers required for mission success. The name is also a nod to the extensive integrated effort – from the more than 300,000 spacecraft components to the thousands of people across the world – that must come together to venture to the Moon and back, inspire the world, and set course for a long-term presence at the Moon.

Integrity is rooted in a shared core value of NASA, the agency’s astronaut office, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).

As part of a Golden Age of innovation and exploration, the approximately 10-day Artemis II test flight, launching no later than April 2026, is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign.
