A plush Snoopy doll was the ZGI for the Artemis I mission. For that uncrewed mission, Snoopy floated around, tethered inside the vehicle to indicate when the Orion spacecraft had reached space.\u00a0For this Challenge, we\u2019re asking creatives from all over the world to design a new ZGI to be fabricated by NASA\u2019s Thermal Blanket Lab and launched into space aboard the Artemis II mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Award: $23,275 in total prizes<\/p>\n<p>Open Date: March 7, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Close Date: May 27, 2025<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit: https:\/\/www.freelancer.com\/contest\/Moon-Mascot-NASA-Artemis-II-ZGI-Design-Challenge-2527909\/details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will you design the zero gravity indicator (ZGI) that accompanies the Artemis II mission around the Moon?
