Key Points:
- NASA's Artemis 2 mission, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years, is scheduled to launch no earlier than April 1 at 6:24 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center, carrying four astronauts for a round-the-moon journey.
- The crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Williams (commander), Victor Glover (pilot), Christina Koch (mission specialist), and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen (mission specialist).
- About 24 hours after launch, the Orion capsule will perform a trans-lunar injection burn to send the crew toward the moon, marking the first human lunar orbit since 1972.
- The mission will test the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft with a crew onboard, and will feature live video feeds from exterior cameras as well as daily communications with Earth.
- Artemis 2 is planned to last roughly 10 days, concluding with a splashdown off the coast of San Diego, with NASA and the U.S. Navy managing recovery operations; mission events remain subject to change as procedures are refined.
