NASA announces Artemis II launch date for Feb. 6, sending four astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years in historic 10-day mission.
Depending on the timing, NASA could launch a fresh crew to the space station while four other astronauts are flying around the moon.
Ahead of the historic mission which will return humans around the moon, NASA's giant SLS rocket is set to roll to the KSC launch pad for testing.
The launch is set to occur no earlier than 12:42 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission will be a Falcon 9 rocket sending the company's next batch of 29 Starlink internet satellites to orbit.
