A jacket decorated with Artemis I and II mission patches, along with other NASA patches, hung on the back of a chair inside the Rocco A. Petrone Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026, according to an image article NASA published on Aug. 20, 2026. The photo was taken during a terminal countdown simulation for the Artemis III mission.
NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team ran the terminal count simulation, which covers the final five hours of the launch countdown, including terminal count — the countdown's remaining 10 minutes.
According to NASA, Artemis III is planned to carry out a series of objectives in low Earth orbit intended to demonstrate critical systems needed for future lunar landings, beginning with Artemis IV. The image is credited to NASA/Clayton Rougelot.
