The next step in the Artemis 1 mission is the installation of a data-gathering mannequin inside the spaceship that will take astronauts to the moon.
On July 27th, NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team announced that Campos has been successfully installed into the capsule for the Artemis 1 mission around the moon. The liftoff is scheduled for August 29th.
A human-sized test dummy is strapped into the commander's chair at the head of the capsule, named after an electrical engineer who helped bring the Apollo 13 mission safely back to Earth.
The Artemis 1 moon mission has live updates.
Moonkin will give NASA vital data on what future human crew members will experience during flight. The first launch test of the Space Launch System megarocket and an uncrewed test flight to the moon is called Artemis 1. NASA will use the data from Moonikin to train astronauts who will fly around the moon on the Artemis 2 mission in 2024.

Future NASA Artemis astronauts will experience vibrations and accelerations that will be measured by him.
The mission to the moon will be recorded with the help of two sensors under the commander's seat and behind the head rest. There are two radiation sensors in Campo.
The latest flight wear fashion is the First-Generation Orion Crew Survival System spacesuit. The pressure suit that astronauts will wear in the future.
During the Artemis 1 mission, he will be accompanied by two other mannequins, Helga and Zohar, who will be installed aboard the spaceship. The phantom mannequins are part of the Matroshka AstroRad Radiation Experiment which will record data about radiation levels during the mission to the moon.
The mannequin trio is going to head to the moon in August as part of the Artemis 1 mission.
