Artemis II • 2026 Challenge Coin

The Path Back to the Moon • Around the Moon for All Humanity

Humanity is going back to the Moon — and this extraordinary Artemis II 2026 Challenge Coin captures that historic moment forever. Featuring the four Artemis II crew members in stunning color enamel on the obverse, and the SLS rocket launch with lunar approach scene on the reverse, this 40mm collectible is a must-have for space enthusiasts, NASA fans, and collectors of American history.

🌙 The Artemis Program: Humanity Returns to the Moon

NASA's Artemis program is the most ambitious human spaceflight initiative since the Apollo era. Named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology, Artemis aims to land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface — and establish a sustainable human presence on and around the Moon as a gateway to Mars.

Artemis II is the first crewed mission of the program — sending four astronauts on a free-return trajectory around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft, launched atop the most powerful rocket ever built: the Space Launch System (SLS). It will be the first time humans have traveled to lunar distance since Apollo 17 in December 1972 — over 50 years ago.

👨‍🚀 The Artemis II Crew

The four astronauts depicted on this coin represent the best of humanity — pioneers chosen to carry the torch of exploration back to the Moon. Their faces, immortalized in vivid color enamel against a deep space backdrop, stare toward the horizon with the quiet confidence of those who know they are making history.

• 👨‍🚀 Reid Wiseman — Commander (NASA)
• 👨‍🚀 Victor Glover — Pilot (NASA) — first person of color to fly to lunar distance
• 👩‍🚀 Christina Koch — Mission Specialist (NASA) — first woman to travel to lunar distance
• 👨‍🚀 Jeremy Hansen — Mission Specialist (CSA — Canadian Space Agency)

🔥 The Space Launch System: Most Powerful Rocket Ever Built

The Space Launch System (SLS) — depicted blazing off the launch pad on the reverse of this coin — produces 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, making it the most powerful rocket in history. Paired with the Orion spacecraft, it will carry the Artemis II crew on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back.

"We are going back to the Moon — and this time, we are going to stay." — NASA
