Artemis II dataset released

A public Artemis II mission dataset is now circulating as practice material for data cleaning, analysis and machine-learning projects after the Moon mission ended on April 10. (nasa.gov, x.com) Artemis II was NASA’s first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years, launching from Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026 and splashing down on April 10 after a 9-day, 1-hour, 32-minute mission. The crew was Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. (nasa.gov, nasa.gov, nasa.gov) The data in circulation is not a single NASA press packet. It appears in several public forms, including telemetry archives built from NASA’s Artemis Real-time Orbit Website feed, student coding files NASA published for the Artemis II App Development Challenge, and third-party trackers that package mission samples into downloadable comma-separated-value files. (github.com, nasa.gov, artemis.galacticempire.space) A spaceflight dataset is, in plain terms, a time-stamped log of where a spacecraft was, how fast it moved, and when mission events happened. The Artemis II telemetry archive on one public tracker lists 11,213 samples collected at roughly 60-second intervals from April 1 to April 10, with fields such as range from Earth, speed, latitude, longitude and deep-space network contacts. (artemis.galacticempire.space) NASA has been publishing Artemis II coding components for students since 2024 and 2025, including files meant to help users build mission visualizations. The agency’s App Development Challenge says students work on technical problems tied to deep-space exploration missions, and the Artemis II materials include timeline and visualization components. (nasa.gov, nasa.gov, nasa.gov) That makes the dataset useful for portfolio work because it mixes common data-science tasks with a recognizable mission. A candidate can clean irregular timestamps, reconcile units such as feet, miles and kilometers, chart trajectory changes around the Moon, or compare live-feed values against Jet Propulsion Laboratory ephemeris snapshots. (github.com, artemis.galacticempire.space, (artemis.jakobrosin.com)) The mission itself generated fresh public interest in those records. NASA said on April 6 that the Artemis II crew had surpassed the Apollo 13 record for the farthest human distance from Earth, and NASA’s mission page now describes Artemis II as the first crewed lunar flyby in half a century. (nasa.gov, nasa.gov) Anyone using the data still has to check provenance. Some files come directly from NASA educational materials, while other downloadable archives are community collections that say they were captured from NASA feeds or combined with Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Deep Space Network sources. (nasa.gov, github.com, artemis.galacticempire.space) For job seekers, the appeal is straightforward: Artemis II is current, public and structured enough to turn into a notebook, dashboard or model. For readers, it is also a reminder that one of NASA’s biggest missions of 2026 left behind data ordinary users can inspect line by line. (x.com, nasa.gov, nasa.gov)
