Watch the first crewed Artemis mission take flight
NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Artemis program, is scheduled to launch today, April 1, from the Kennedy Space Center. The 10-day mission will send astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen on a trip around the moon to study the effects of deep space travel on human health. This marks humanity's first journey into deep space since the Apollo program, with engineers having completed critical checks on the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.
