NASA is preparing to send humans around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years with Artemis II. Scheduled to launch in April 2026, this historic mission will carry four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—aboard the powerful Orion spacecraft, launched by the Space Launch System rocket.
While Artemis II won’t land on the Moon, it will orbit around it, testing life-support systems, communications, and high-speed re-entry, paving the way for Artemis III, the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17.
This mission isn’t just about going back—it’s about preparing for the future: building a sustainable presence on the Moon and eventually sending humans to Mars.
🌌 Join us as we break down the mission, the crew, the spacecraft, and why Artemis II is a giant leap for humanity’s future in space.
