Under NASA’s Artemis campaign, the agency aims to establish a foundation for long-term scientific exploration on the Moon. This includes landing the first woman, the first person of color, and the first international partner astronaut on the lunar surface, as well as preparing for human expeditions to Mars for the benefit of all.
Recently, NASA celebrated the second anniversary of the launch of Artemis I by highlighting the future of the Artemis Generation.
The Artemis I mission has marked the beginning of a new era in spaceflight, testing the systems that will enable humans to return to the Moon and venture beyond.
NASA launched Artemis I two years ago, on November 16, 2022. This uncrewed lunar flight test lasted over 25 days and concluded with a splashdown on December 11, 2022.
During the mission, the Space Launch System rocket, carrying the Orion spacecraft, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center and embarked on a journey to the Moon, officially commencing the Artemis I mission.
Following Orion’s successful mission around the Moon and its return, teams at NASA have been actively preparing for the upcoming Artemis II test flight.
This mission will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon, paving the way for humans to land on the lunar surface as part of the Artemis III mission.
Since the completion of the Artemis I mission, teams across NASA have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming NASA Artemis II test flight, which will send four astronauts on a 10-day mission around the Moon.
One Artemis I launch simulation shared on social media shows how the rocket’s exhaust plumes interact with the air, water, and the launchpad. It’s helping engineers redesign the launch pad and mobile launcher that will send astronauts to space aboard Artemis II.
Tomorrow marks the 2-year anniversary of the launch of Artemis I. 📅🚀
As we look back at this amazing milestone, we can't wait to see what the future holds for the Artemis Generation. 🤩
