NASA photographer Josh Valcarcel took a ride with NASA Astronauts and astronaut candidates in the back seat of a T-38 jet in this behind-the-scenes view. The group was traveling to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to see the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on Launch Complex 39B before the launch of the Artemis I mission. While Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test, its journey to the Moon and back will provide valuable data so astronauts can safely launch to the Moon aboard Artemis II.
