TL;DR Summary

Artemis 2 astronauts are preparing for their moon mission by practicing all aspects of living in space, including exercise. Due to limited space on the Orion spacecraft, traditional exercise equipment like those on the International Space Station won't fit. Instead, astronauts will use a portable flywheel device for daily workouts, which also serves as a step for entering and exiting the spacecraft. The effectiveness of exercise in microgravity and its impact on astronaut health will be closely monitored during the Artemis 2 mission to inform future spacecraft design for longer missions.
