What’s onboard Artemis I?

In addition to Shaun the Sheep, the Orion capsule will also contain three mannequins that will be conducting different scientific tests.

The US space agency is planning to send real women to the Moon but it’s thought the female body has a bigger risk of negative impacts from space radiation.

This is where mannequins Helga and Zohar come into play.

The two torsos are said to be made up of materials similar to the bones, soft tissues, and organs of a female adult human.

Over 10,000 sensors and radiation detectors will be tracking the effects of space on these materials as Helgar and Zohar travel around the Moon.

There will also be a third mannequin, called Commander Moonikin Campos, that will collect data about how the flight vibrates and accelerates the body.
