The upcoming Artemis 2 mission marks NASA’s highly anticipated return to crewed lunar exploration after the conclusion of the Apollo program in 1972. During this extraordinary 10-day flight, four astronauts will embark on an awe-inspiring journey around the Moon. Artemis 2 will also serve as an opportunity for NASA to conduct vital tests on its Orion capsule and Space Launch System (SLS) super heavy-lift rocket, affirming the safety and reliability of these spacecraft for future crewed missions to the lunar surface.
