Moon Missions Reignite as Artemis II Prepares for Historic Launch
NASA's Artemis II mission aims to send astronauts to the moon for the first time in over 50 years, with a possible launch as early as April 2023.
After a series of technical setbacks, NASA's highly anticipated Artemis II mission is now on track for a potential launch as early as April 2023. This historic mission will mark humanity's first crewed trip to the moon in over 50 years, reigniting the excitement and scientific exploration that defined the iconic Apollo program.
The Artemis II mission, a critical step towards NASA's long-term goal of establishing a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface, will send a crew of four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on a journey around the moon. This mission will not only demonstrate the capabilities of the Orion system but also pave the way for the Artemis III mission, which aims to land astronauts on the moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
