NASA Artemis II Moon Rocket Launch: Camera Views | Kennedy Space Center

On April 1, 2026, Artemis II’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending four astronauts on an approximately 10-day test flight around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft. Enjoy views of the launch from cameras affixed to the SLS rocket.

Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
