ESA has Shaun the Sheep for their missions, while NASA’s Snoopy astronaut plush has just returned from the Artemis I mission. This zero-gravity indicator flew aboard Orion after being unpacked from his specially designed transport case. The beagle was secured inside Orion during the journey to the Moon and back to prepare for crewed missions.
