He was a part of the teams that successfully launched Artemis I and II and is now critical to the upcoming Artemis III mission.<\/p>\n<p>Away from the launch pad, Norena\u2019s hobbies orbit around his teenage daughters, participating in their activities. He also keeps a keen eye on space and is an avid astrophotographer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love capturing the Milky Way! I\u2019ve traveled to Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and all across the western United States,\u201d he said. \u201cA great spot that\u2019s closer for me is Dry Tortugas National Park beyond Key West.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No matter how he explores space, Norena believes Artemis II is more than just a mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is historic. I grew up watching the shuttle missions, learning about Apollo, and wanting to be part of those Moon missions. We built the space station. The space shuttle explored space and technology on many levels,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, it&#8217;s our turn with Artemis to get back to the Moon, and this time to stay there. I&#8217;m excited to be part of the generation that does that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-about-the-author nasa-gb-align-full width-full maxw-full padding-x-3 padding-y-6 hds-module
