NASA's Artemis II is poised for the first lunar mission since 1972—with much more to come.
NASA says America’s push back to the Moon is accelerating, with Artemis II poised to launch a new era of U.S. space leadership.
The goal of the Artemis program is to eventually send Americans to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, with the longer term goal of achieving missions to Mars. The launch of Artemis II follows the original Artemis launch, which sent a crewless craft into space in 2022.
