NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon, laying the groundwork for deeper lunar exploration and possible colonization. Named after the twin sister of Apollo in Greek mythology, Artemis seeks to build on what the Apollo missions began more than half a century ago.

What is it?

With a proposed launch date in early 2026, Artemis 2 will build on the accomplishments of Artemis 1, which launched in November 2022. However, unlike Artemis 1, which sent an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit and back, Artemis 2 will include four astronauts, who will fly by the moon on a roughly 10-day space mission.

The astronauts are NASA Commander Reid Wiseman, NASA pilot Victor Glover, NASA mission specialist Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency mission specialist Jeremy Hansen.
