Timeline of Artemis II photos shows how astronauts captured life inside Orion

NASA released Artemis II images from Orion’s Moon-bound leg, and this interactive timeline organizing them shows how an iPhone 17 Pro Max and other onboard cameras were used throughout the mission.

Astronauts aboard Orion captured images throughout the Artemis II mission, including selfies, eclipse shots, and views of Earth through the spacecraft’s forward windows, with some images taken on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. One image titled “Thinking of You, Earth” shows a crew member silhouetted against the planet as Orion moved deeper into cislunar space.

The timeline, recently published, shows life inside the cabin, including floating group shots, strapped-in seating positions, and handheld images in microgravity. It spans multiple points in the flight alongside imagery from dedicated cameras, including Nikon systems and GoPros mounted on Orion.
