NASA Artemis II Moon Mission: The Countdown to Launch Starts Now

As early as April 1, 2026, NASA will launch the NASA Artemis II Mission, the first crewed test flight of the Orion spacecraft. Four astronauts will take a ten-day journey around the Moon testing the crew systems, life support, docking demonstrations and more. The countdown to launch starts now.

NASA’s Artemis II flight test will take Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Christina Koch from NASA, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), around the Moon and back to Earth with launch opportunities beginning in April 2026.
