Years before the training began, her team gathered the experts on how to operate the different aspects of Orion, and what the crew will need to know to execute their mission.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my favorite moments from that process was when we all got together in one room, and everyone brought  a piece of paper for every single lesson or training event that they expected to do with the crew,\u201d Mahaffey said. \u201cAnd we laid the entire thing out to figure out what\u2019s the most logical order to put all of this training in, to help build that big picture for the crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Training for Artemis II began shortly after the crew was announced, with Mahaffey and her team introducing the astronauts to Orion\u2019s systems and operational basics. Once the necessary simulators and mockups were ready, the crew transitioned into hands-on training to build familiarity with their spacecraft. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>At Johnson, Mahaffey\u2019s team utilizes a range of specialized facilities, including the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, where astronauts rehearse living and working inside the Orion mockup; the Orion Mission Simulator, which replicates flight software and displays; and the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, where the crew practices water survival techniques for post-splashdown scenarios.<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-full\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg 6000w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=1200,800 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/jacalyn-mahaffey.jpg?resize=2000,1333 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\">\n<div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Jacki Mahaffey, Artemis II Chief Training Officer at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston, stands in front of the Orion mockup in Johnson\u2019s Space Vehicle Mockup Facility.<\/div>\n<div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA\/Rad Sinyak<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe try to simulate as much as we can here on Earth,\u201d said Mahaffey. \u201cBut we still have gravity, so we rely on the crew\u2019s experience to imagine how they\u2019ll use the space in microgravity\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Three of the four Artemis II astronauts have flown in space before, and Mahaffey sees their experience as a powerful asset.
