ALT Artemis II crew member Christina Koch sketched the Orientale basin as observed through Orion’s docking hatch during the lunar flyby. Her in-flight annotation documents differences in texture across the basin and surrounding terrain, including areas she described as smooth and rough. The sketch is oriented with the Moon’s South Pole toward the top, an unconventional orientation that reflects the crew’s view from the spacecraft. Credit: NASA

ALT The plate attached to the Roman telescope, where a memory card containing names will be attached. It's a tall, thin, rectangular silver plate. At the top of the plate is the stylized Nancy Grace Roman name logo. Below is the silhouette of Roman's 18-square detectors in their iconic arch shape. Text below that reads "NASA's first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, persevered through barriers and made powerful space telescopes a reality. She envisioned a world where everyone had access to, and enthusiasm for, science. This observatory is the continuation of her legacy and dream." Below the text is an illustration of Dr. Roman looking up, next to her name and the years 1925-2018. Below the years is a small box where the memory card will be affixed. The plate is held down with two large bolts at the top and bottom.
