Emergency egress basket installation for Artemis II

The first of four emergency escape baskets was installed on the Artemis II mobile launcher at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These baskets, like ski lift gondolas, provide a quick escape route for astronauts and pad personnel in case of an emergency.

The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts, including Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, around the Moon. (Credits: NASA, NASA/Isaac Watson)
