Catherine Koerner, at far right, NASA Orion Program manager, along with senior managers from Orion and Lockheed Martin, tours the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 6, 2020. Accompanying her, from left are Scott Wilson, NASA Kennedy Orion Production Operations manager, and Mike Hawes, Lockheed Martin vice president and Orion Program manager. They are pictured viewing the Orion crew module for the Artemis II mission, and also viewed the Orion spacecraft with its solar array wings installed for Artemis I. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will test the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System as an integrated system ahead of crewed flights to the Moon. Under the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the next man on the Moon in 2024.
