Artemis II

Artemis II is a planned mission by NASA to send astronauts around the Moon as part of the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to lunar exploration. Scheduled for 2024, this mission will follow Artemis I—an uncrewed test flight. Artemis II will carry a crew aboard the Orion spacecraft, testing life support and other systems in preparation for future lunar landings. It is a significant step towards establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon and supports broader goals for future missions to Mars. This mission symbolizes humanity's return to deep space exploration.
