• Artemis, the moon goddess in Greek mythology, personifies NASA's efforts to return astronauts to the lunar surface and beyond. The Space Launch System is the American super heavy-lift rocket that will be used to get us there. It is humanity's first flight to the moon since 1972.
  
  We have pliers available that are specifically designed for our metal models, and to present your model in the right spotlight, we offer a base with blue LED lights.

From Cold War rivalry to cooperative exploration, America's venture into space was just beginning when the first humans set foot on the Moon in 1969. This landmark event not only defined space exploration but also influenced American society, politics, and identity for many years to come.

Beginning with the records of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, established in 1915 to address flight issues and conduct aeronautics research, the National Archives preserves NASA's records and other materials related to aeronautics. You can explore thousands of documents, newspapers, videos, and photographs, including an iconic image of Buzz Aldrin standing next to the U.S. flag on the lunar surface, in the space exploration holdings of the National Archives.
