Here's What Time Artemis II Could Launch
The 10-day mission will test Orion and life-support systems while performing a lunar far-side flyby reaching 5,000 miles beyond the moon, NASA said.
- NASA is preparing to launch the Artemis mission in early April, marking the first crewed lunar flight in more than 50 years. The 10-day journey will carry four astronauts to the moon.
- Testing the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft systems is the primary objective, as astronauts will evaluate life support performance to prepare for future human missions to Mars.
- Traveling 244,000 miles, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen will utilize a trajectory made famous by Apollo 13, sailing 5,000 miles beyond the moon.
- After liftoff, the crew will perform a docking test, venturing no closer than 33 feet to the upper stage. NASA geologist Kelsey Young will monitor the flyby from Mission Control in Houston.
- NASA administrator Jared Isaacman added smartphones to the mission for "inspiring" picture-taking. The crew will observe the moon's far side, supporting long-term lunar science and future surface exploration.
