Artemis II Soars Toward the Moon's Mysterious Far Side
NASA's historic Artemis II mission marks the first time humans have ventured beyond Earth's orbit since the Apollo era. Explore the thrilling details of this landmark journey.
In a momentous step forward for human space exploration, NASA's Artemis II mission has blasted ever closer to the far side of the Moon, taking humans out of Earth's orbit for the first time since the Apollo era over 50 years ago. This historic journey marks a significant milestone in humanity's quest to return to the lunar surface and eventually establish a sustainable presence there.
Pushing the Boundaries of Lunar Exploration
The Artemis II mission, which launched in late 2023, is the second in a series of increasingly ambitious missions that aim to pave the way for future crewed lunar landings. Unlike the uncrewed Artemis I flight, Artemis II will carry a four-person crew on a loop around the Moon, providing critical data and experience that will inform the design of future Artemis missions.
