NASA opens media accreditation for Artemis II at Johnson Space Center

NASA has opened media accreditation to attend Artemis II mission activities at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, where flight controllers in mission control will manage the test flight after liftoff. Artemis II is targeted to launch no earlier Friday, Feb. 6, and will send NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen on an approximately 10-day journey around the Moon and back to test the systems and hardware, which will return humanity to the lunar surface.

After launch day, NASA will host daily briefings at Johnson with agency managers and mission experts; the briefings will be streamed on NASA’s YouTube channel. International media without U.S. citizenship must apply to attend in person at Johnson by 5 p.m. CST Friday, Jan. 16, and U.S.

media must apply by Friday, Jan. 30. Media representatives must apply by contacting the NASA Johnson newsroom at jsccommu@mail.nasa.gov. NASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. Due to high interest, in-person space is limited and credentialed media will receive a confirmation email if approved.

Those accredited to attend the Artemis II launch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are not automatically accredited to attend events at Johnson and must receive separate confirmation.
