Join us for today's mission briefing following the successful launch of Artemis II on April 1, 2026.
NASA leaders are providing status updates, answering media questions, and discussing mission activities for the day. This stream may begin with live views of Artemis II mission coverage before the briefing starts.
Artemis II is the first crewed flight test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion, testing the technologies we'll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars. After lifting off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the Artemis II astronauts are currently journeying around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, on an approximately 10-day mission.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
