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.

Artemis II’s Avatar organs aim to map cosmic health risks before astronauts reach deep space

NASA’s Artemis II carries USB-sized “avatar” organ chips made from astronauts’ bone marrow to simulate organs and study how space radiation and microgravity affect health. The AVATAR study seeks early, personalized health data from blood, saliva, sleep and immune biomarkers to tailor medical kits for long missions, while researchers track the RIDGE hazards of space travel to better prepare for future lunar and Mars exploration.
