Artemis II Congressional Gold Medal Act

This provision authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to make arrangements for the presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal to each of the four crew members of the Artemis II mission. This award recognizes their significant contributions to advancing human exploration of space.

This provision directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medals, ensuring they feature suitable emblems, devices, inscriptions, and specifically depict the four astronauts. Furthermore, it authorizes the Secretary to create and sell bronze duplicates of these gold medals to the public. The pricing of these duplicates is set to cover all production costs, including labor, materials, and overhead.

This section outlines the financial arrangements for the medals. It authorizes the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover all necessary costs associated with striking the gold medals. Additionally, any revenue generated from the sale of the bronze duplicate medals is to be deposited directly back into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund, creating a self-sustaining financial model for the program.
