NASA will provide live coverage of prelaunch, launch, and mission events for the agency’s upcoming Artemis II crewed test flight around the Moon.
Launch is targeted for no earlier than 6:24 pm EDT today (1 April), with a two-hour launch window. Additional opportunities for launch run through Monday (6 April).
Artemis II is NASA’s first crewed mission under the Artemis program and will launch from the agency’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
It will send NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen on an approximately 10-day journey around the Moon.
Launching on NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, the agency will test the Orion spacecraft’s life support systems for the first time with humans aboard, helping lay the groundwork for future crewed Artemis missions.
