And splashdown!
America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely.
Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanityβs ambassadors to the stars.
This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next.
And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you.
Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.
This graphic has been going around a lot ... you can actually extend it even further β all the way to 1963 βΒ and Florida would still be the only school in the middle with a National Championship in all three.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap β astronauts on Mars.
Artemis II will send humans on a journey around the moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Itβs part of NASAβs detailed launch program to return humans to the lunar surface. Hereβs your (unofficial) step-by-step infographic guide to the mission, with a launch date of no earlier than April 1, 2026. I have also included a variant with a white background.
