GoPro Inc. announced that its modified cameras will be mounted on the Orion spacecraft’s solar‑array wings and will also be carried by the crew to document the historic Artemis II mission, which launched on April 1, 2026.
GoPro’s most recent quarterly results show a revenue decline to $155 million in Q1 2024, down 11% year‑over‑year from $175 million in Q1 2023. GAAP gross margin improved to 34.1% from 30.0% in the prior year, driven by lower camera costs and a rise in subscription revenue. Non‑GAAP gross margin also increased to 34.4% from 30.3%, reflecting the company’s focus on higher‑margin services.
Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman said, “GoPro is honored that our cameras are aboard the historic Artemis II mission. GoPros are designed to capture amazing perspectives in the most extreme conditions imaginable…and it doesn’t get much more extreme than going to the Moon and back. We wish the Orion crew a safe and successful mission and want to congratulate everyone who has made Artemis II a reality—respect.”
Investors welcomed the announcement, citing the brand exposure and potential future revenue opportunities that come with participation in a high‑profile space mission. The event underscores GoPro’s commitment to rugged, high‑performance imaging solutions and reinforces its positioning in extreme‑environment markets.
While the Artemis II milestone is a significant brand achievement, it does not alter GoPro’s current financial trajectory. The company’s revenue decline and margin improvement trends remain the primary drivers of its short‑term performance, and investors should continue to monitor the company’s subscription growth and cost‑control initiatives as it navigates ongoing market challenges.
