  • NASA is preparing for Artemis II, the first crewed Moon mission in over 50 years.
  • Artemis II will be the first human mission to the Moon since the Apollo missions (1968–1972) conducted by NASA.
  • The mission will use the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, a 32-storey heavy-lift launch vehicle, and the Orion spacecraft.
  • The spacecraft will orbit the Earth first and then perform a flyby around the Moon without landing.
  • The mission will last about 10 days and end with a splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean.
  • It will test critical systems and support future human Moon missions under the Artemis programme.
