Artemis II Science Continues on Earth After Lunar Flight

NASA reports Artemis II science is advancing post-splashdown, with crew health and performance testing, Earth-based gravity re-adaptation studies, immune biomarkers, and ARCHeR cognitive/motor assessments. AVATAR organ chips flown around the Moon (including bone marrow cells) are being analyzed alongside crew data to model spaceflight effects, while lunar observations and hundreds of data files—images, video, and audio—are prepared for release via NASA’s Planetary Data System to inform future Moon and Mars missions.
