"NASA officials hailed the successful launch of the Artemis II mission to the moon, which lifted off at 6:35 P.M. EDT from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida."
"The Artemis II crew, consisting of Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, and Victor Glover, are the first astronauts to head toward the moon in over fifty years."
"The crew plans to conduct a lunar flyby on April 6 and is set to return to Earth on April 10, testing systems aboard the Orion spacecraft."
"They will observe and image the moon, preparing for future missions, and will likely see parts of the far side of the moon that no human has ever directly observed."
NASA successfully launched the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts on a ten-day journey around the moon. The crew includes Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, and Victor Glover. They will travel further from Earth than any humans before, conducting a lunar flyby and returning on April 10. The mission includes testing systems aboard the Orion spacecraft, measuring body adaptation to microgravity, and observing the moon, including parts of the far side that have never been seen by humans.
