Inside the Orion spacecraft’s crew capsule, the Artemis II crew practices for their upcoming journey around the Moon (top left). Underneath the needle-shaped escape rocket, the crew capsule sits atop the Space Launch System (SLS), which is NASA’s super heavy-lift rocket (top right). The rocket arrived at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B on March 20, 2026 (bottom left). If the weather and all systems are “go,” then the Artemis II mission will launch to the Moon as soon as April 1, 2026 (bottom right). (Courtesy photos by NASA)
