The Artemis II crew is boarding Orion. 

Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy are taking their seats atop the most powerful manned rocket ever built. They have trained for years for this moment, and now they are preparing to execute a mission that will take us back around the Moon and begin the next chapter of human space exploration.

A proper sendoff 🧑‍🚀

The Artemis II crew was driven to the launchpad ahead of their upcoming mission around the Moon. After checking their spacesuits and donning their helmets and gloves, the crew will settle into the Orion spacecraft.

[NASA @NASA]

The Artemis II astronauts, now suited up for launch, are headed to the launch pad.

The crew includes NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, and @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

@NASA @NASAArtemis 12:23 p.m. ET - Liquid oxygen fast fill is now complete for the Space Launch System upper stage, marking another major milestone in tanking operations. Teams have confirmed the upper stage is in good shape and are proceeding with the vent and relief test.

Today's the day.

Fueling of the Artemis II Moon rocket is underway.

Full coverage of the crewed lunar mission begins at 12:50 p.m. EDT (1650 UTC). Check out ways to watch: https://t.co/fAg0bGAqEc

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Teams continue to fill the core stage of the Artemis II rocket with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

Fueling the upper stage of the rocket has started, as well. This is what will help Orion adjust its orbit shortly after liftoff.

@NASA @NASAArtemis 9:25 am ET - NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen just woke up and the launch team is conducting a countdown status check.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The fueling process for the Artemis II rocket has picked up speed. The rocket is now more quickly filling with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

When the core stage is completely full, it will contain 196,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and 537,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Teams at @NASAKennedy have begun slowly filling the Artemis II rocket with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

This process begins slowly —and then picks up speed — in order to prevent the supercold propellants from damaging the system.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The launch team at @NASAKennedy are GO to begin filling the Artemis II rocket with fuel.

The official launch broadcast begins at 12:50pm ET (1650 UTC). Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 6:24 pm ET (2224 UTC). Tanking coverage can be found here: https://t.co/VVJqQrRz4a

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Nothing but gratitude for the men and women of this great nation. It is time to fly.

[NASA @NASA]

The weather's looking good for tomorrow's Artemis II launch, and our teams are getting the rocket ready for liftoff!

Can you see our Moon rocket lift off from your backyard?

Skywatchers in Florida and southern Georgia will have a shot. Check out this map to see when you should look up! Artemis II is targeted to launch no earlier than April 1.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

Standing on the shoulders of giants.

As the Artemis II crew prepares for launch no earlier than April 1, they recently took a moment to pay homage to the Apollo 10 crew and the groundwork they laid for the Artemis II Moon mission.

The countdown begins.

Teams at @NASAKennedy have arrived to their stations at the Launch Control Center. We are about 48 hours from the launch of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. https://t.co/PqaR8eyxu4
