NASA targeting early February for Artemis II mission to the Moon

The Artemis II mission represents a major step forward for NASA and seeks to send four astronauts-Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen-around the Moon and back. The 10-day mission will be the first time astronauts have left low-Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972. The mission's Space Launch System rocket has been stacked and declared ready for flight. The Orion spacecraft is in the final stages of preparation and will be attached to the top of the rocket later this year.
