Artemis II Now in High Earth Orbit

Artemis II Launches Manned Test Flight Around The Moon

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA - APRIL 01: NASA's Artemis II Space Launch System rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft lifts off from Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center on April 1, 2026 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The 10-day mission will take NASA astronauts Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover and Mission Specialist Christina Koch and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen around the moon and back. The astronauts are supposed to fly 230,000 miles out into space, the farthest any human has ever traveled from Earth.

NASA launched four astronauts into space yesterday aboard the Artemis II mission for the first crewed journey toward the moon since the Apollo era. The Space Launch System rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, sending three U.S. astronauts and one Canadian on a 10-day mission that will loop around the moon and return to Earth.

The mission will take the crew farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled while testing the Orion spacecraft’s life-support and navigation systems. Artemis II is a key step in NASA’s broader program to return astronauts to the lunar surface later this decade and eventually support missions to Mars.
