NASA has compiled a Spotify playlist featuring the wake-up songs selected for the Artemis 2 crew's upcoming lunar flyby mission. The four-astronaut crew will hear personalized music selections each morning as mission control begins their daily activities during the planned 10-day journey around the Moon.
The wake-up song tradition dates back to NASA's early spaceflight programs, where mission control would play music to gently rouse astronauts and set a positive tone for each mission day. The Artemis 2 playlist represents a modern twist on this custom, making the selections publicly available through the popular streaming platform.
