TLDR

NASA has released its Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report and accompanying media package. NASA says it includes 814 GB of observations and 521 minutes of crew audio, while NASA’s posts describe the image haul as either nearly 1,000 or, more specifically, 996 new images. NASA says the materials show what four astronauts saw, noticed, and documented around the Moon.

NASA has released its Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report and accompanying media package. In a post from NASA’s main account, the agency said the release includes 814 GB of observations, nearly 1,000 new images, and 521 minutes of crew audio.

On the feature page, NASA describes the report as a guide to what four astronauts saw, noticed, and documented as they traveled around the Moon.

What NASA says is in the release

In a separate X post, NASA Artemis called it “a huge library of Artemis II data” and gave a more exact image count: 814 GB of observations, 996 new images, and 521 minutes of “never-before-released” crew audio. NASA’s main account described that image total more generally as nearly 1,000 new images.

One example clip was shared separately in a Spaceflight Now post, which said it was “some of the crew audio” from “the observation of an impact flash” seen by Artemis 2 Commander Reid Wiseman.

NASA Artemis also framed the release in broader terms on X, writing that “Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs”. That line is the social post’s characterization of the drop; the core reported development is NASA’s publication of the report and associated data package.
