NASA’s Artemis II mission, a pivotal step in the Artemis program, aims to send astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon by February 2026. While the crew won’t land, the mission will mark the first human travel beyond low Earth orbit since 1972. The launch window could open as early as February 5, with safety as the top priority. Serving as a precursor to Artemis III, slated for 2027, the mission includes NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
