Artemis II - Lunar Flyby - Crew Photography Training.

The Artemis II Lunar Flyby Crew Photography Training film documents a NASA training exercise in preparation for the Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Artemis programme. The video shows the four crew members participating in photography training designed to prepare them for documenting the lunar flyby and observations from the Orion spacecraft. The exercise focuses on camera operation, image planning, target identification, and photographic procedures that will be used during the mission to record the Moon, Earth, and the surrounding space environment.

Artemis II will carry Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen on a mission that will travel around the Moon before returning to Earth. The training shown in this film forms part of NASA's wider preparation programme, ensuring the crew can produce scientifically useful and operationally important photographs throughout the mission. Photography has remained an integral part of human spaceflight since the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programmes, providing visual documentation for engineering analysis, scientific observation, mission operations, and the historical record.
