ENSCO, an engineering company based in Endicott, New York, has been involved in NASA's Artemis II mission, which is scheduled to launch next week. The mission aims to send four astronauts around the moon, marking the first crewed flight test of the Space Launch System and the Orion spacecraft.

Since 2014, ENSCO has worked on mission software certifications and demonstrated the certification authority for the spacecraft, ensuring safety features are in place. ENSCO is providing software called IData, used for designing cockpit displays that will be the primary interface for astronauts during the mission. The Artemis II mission is a crucial step towards future lunar landings and crewed missions to Mars, representing the first journey near the moon since the 1970s.
