NASA’s Artemis II Moon Mission Is Coming Together Quickly

It’s already been almost half a year since SLS lifted off for the first time and made the successful journey to the Moon and back. The data and results from Artemis I have given NASA the confidence to move on to the next big step, launching humans. While this second mission seems far away, in reality, we are relatively close to some significant testing and preparation. Already we are seeing completed upper stages being delivered and construction on the launchpad underway. This comes in addition to the astronaut selection which was recently announced. Artemis II has some major differences from the first mission to not only ensure the safety of the astronauts on board, but also gather all the data necessary for the next step, landing humans on the surface. If successful, we will be one step closer to making history as the agency puts everything into Artemis III and beyond. Here I will go more in-depth into important mission updates, the Artemis II mission profile, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
