NASA launched Artemis to the Moon (Official NASA Broadcast) on Nov. 16, 2022
The huge Moon rocket sends an unmanned Orion spacecraft on a 26-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. NASA plans to launch the Artemis I Moon mission on Wednesday, Nov. 16, during a two-hour launch window that begins at 1:04 a.m. EST (0604 UTC). Orion will launch aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and travel 280,000 miles (450,000 km) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 km) beyond the far side of the Moon, carrying science and technology payloads to expand our understanding of lunar science, technological developments, and deep space radiation.
NASA's Artemis missions will land the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon, laying the groundwork for a long-term lunar presence and serve as a stepping stone to sending people to Mars. We're leaving.
