Four astronauts recently visited Germany to thank the engineers who built a vital part of their spacecraft. The Artemis II crew traveled to Bremen to meet the technical teams at Airbus. This visit happened after their historic journey around the Moon in April 2026. During their ten-day mission, the astronauts traveled further from Earth than any humans before, breaking a record set in 1970. Their spacecraft, the Orion capsule named Integrity, relied heavily on the European Service Module. This module, built in Germany, provided power, oxygen, and temperature control. It also managed the spacecraft's engines for precise maneuvers. The mission commander, Reid Wiseman, and pilot Victor Glover, along with specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, expressed their deep gratitude. Hansen mentioned feeling "in good hands" during their time in deep space, thanks to the module's reliability. Wiseman described the module, after it separated from the crew cabin, as looking like a "cathedral" because of its perfect engineering. The successful flight was a large international project involving many European countries. The astronauts also visited facilities in Italy and the Netherlands. The main message of the visit was simple: the engineers' work ensured the crew returned home safely to their families. The astronauts thanked them sincerely for their contribution to the mission's success.
