A NASA video (above) reveals in great detail how its upcoming Artemis II mission is expected to play out. The space agency released the animation last year, but seeing that the Artemis II astronauts could be heading to the moon as early as February 6,

NASA is gearing up to launch Artemis II, the agency’s highly anticipated first crewed mission to moon in more than half a century. A crucial step is Artemis II’s “wet” dress rehearsal—a major test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion capsule that will house the mission’s four astronauts.

NASA’s Artemis II mission is rolling toward the launch pad, marking a major step toward humanity’s next journey around the Moon.

It’s been 54 years since the last Apollo mission, and since then, humans have not ventured beyond low-Earth orbit. But that’s all about to change with next week’s launch of the Artemis II mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Artemis II prepares for launch in early February, marking the first crewed mission towards the moon since Apollo 17.

As the four-person crew of Artemis II prepares to launch on a historic mission around the moon as soon as February, some experts are worried about the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield.

NASA is inviting the public to add their names to a historic lunar mission known as Artemis 2 that is due to launch between February and April.

Four astronauts will soon embark on a historic journey to swing around the Moon using a clever orbital path. This mission marks a significant step in returning humans towards the Moon for the first time in decades.
