Artemis

The four astronauts of NASA's Artemis 2 mission to the moon, which could launch as early as Feb. 5, are deep in training for the first crewed lunar flight in over 50 years.

NASA's ambitious mission to return astronauts to the moon for the first time this century is on track to launch no later than April 2026, but it just might fly sooner if all goes well.

NASA's Artemis 2 mission will launch toward to the moon in 2026. To help prepare, its four astronauts practiced observing Earth's nearest neighbor in a mockup Orion capsule.

Artemis 2 astronauts will be the subjects of nearly as many experiments as they'll be performing during their trip around the moon.

NASA is working on finding landing sites for future moon astronauts. Part of the work includes thinking about how to prepare for eventual Mars missions with astronauts.

The four Artemis 2 moon astronauts passed the "Bobby and Pete" fitness challenge recently, performing 100 pushups and 50 pull-ups in less than 10 minutes.

NASA is using Colorado's rugged peaks to rehearse the risky final moments of future Artemis lunar landings.

NASA has opened a new Orion Mission Evaluation Room at the Johnson Space Center to analyze in-flight spacecraft data and provide support for Artemis 2 and other future missions to the moon.

If there's one thing astronauts know, it's "practice, practice, practice."
