NASA Artemis II Moon Mission: Launch to Splashdown Preview Animation

The Artemis II Mission, slated to launch early 2026, will fly four astronauts around the Moon. This mission will last for about 10 days and will be the first crewed test flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the Orion spacecraft, and the Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Florida needed to support them. 

Not only will this mission be the first time in over 50 years that human beings have seen the Moon close-up, Artemis II will also prepare us for future human landings on the Moon starting with the Artemis III mission and help prepare for future missions to Mars.
