During their lunar flyby, the Artemis II crew enjoyed the rare opportunity to experience a solar eclipse from their Orion spacecraft.

With the Sun hidden behind the Moon, the astronauts were able to analyze the Sun’s outermost atmosphere, also known as the solar corona.

Big week for Artemis III 🚀

Just before NASA introduced the Artemis III crew, the SLS solid rocket booster segments arrived in Florida after a six-day rail journey from Utah.

Later this year, teams will begin stacking the boosters that create 75% of the thrust needed at launch.

Behold: new and previously unseen imagery from our Artemis II mission!

These images were captured on April 6, 2026, when the four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft conducted the lunar flyby portion of their ten-day journey.

Introducing Artemis III.

Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.

In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

[NASA @NASA]

“While Artemis II was all about Moon Joy, Artemis III will be all about Earth Joy.”

@NASAScience_ lead Nicky Fox explains how Artemis III will advance our scientific objectives for future crewed lunar landings.

[NASA @NASA]

"Artemis III is an incredibly exciting, complicated, and highly coordinated multi-launch campaign. It’s going to happen in a short period of time with three of the world’s most powerful rockets."

Artemis lead Jeremy Parsons describes exactly what Artemis III will entail.

Over the river and through the woods to NASA Kennedy!

The boosters will help power the Artemis III mission to low Earth orbit where four astronauts will test integrated operations between the Orion spacecraft and landers.

Rolling down the rails🚂

Eight booster motor segments for @NASAArtemis III are on their way from Utah to @NASAKennedy, hauled by Union Pacific’s new locomotive honoring America’s 250th anniversary.

The SLS boosters will provide 75% of the thrust at launch.
