Rise is the official zero-gravity indicator mascot for the #ArtemisII lunar flyby mission, designed by 8-year-old Lucas Ye.

A plush toy symbolizing the moon and featuring a footprint on its back, representing humanity and the spirit of exploration. It served as a visual cue when the crew reached weightlessness.

Rise came back to Earth safely with the crew and is currently in the hands of captain Reid Wiseman. Lucas added the crater Carroll to it, named in honor of Wiseman's late wife.
