Artemis I: We Are Ready

NASA
The journey of half a million miles – the first flight of the Artemis Generation – is about to begin. The uncrewed Artemis I mission will jump-start humanity’s return to the Moon with the thunderous liftoff of NASA’s powerful new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. This critical flight test will send Orion farther than any human-rated spacecraft has ever flown, putting new systems and processes to the test and lighting the way for the crew missions to come. Artemis I is ready for departure – and, together with our partners around the world, we are ready to return to the Moon, with our sights on Mars and beyond.

New Artemis 1 Launch Date:
NASA Announces Spectacular Night Launch For ‘Mega Moon Rocket’

When will Artemis 1 launch? The inaugural launch of NASA’s Artemis Program is now scheduled to take place on Monday, November 14, 2022 according to a NASA blog. That’s a long time to wait, but there’s a bonus—it’s destined to be a spectacular night launch. Technical issues in late August and September—as well as fears of a hurricane—prompted NASA officials to scrub a couple of launches and cancel other planned launch dates. Artemis I is an uncrewed long-duration 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers) trip to the Moon, past the Moon and then back again. It will test NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS)—the biggest rocket ever built—as well as proving-out the Orion spacecraft for crewed flights to the Moon. The entire launch vehicle is currently in NASA’s huge Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral, but the agency plans to roll the rocket back to the launch pad as early as Friday, November 4.

How Did NASA Test the Artemis Moon Rocket for Launch?

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
Artemis I is the test flight of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. This mission will prepare NASA to send the first woman and the first person of color to the Moon. Testing of the rocket, systems, and teams had to be done to prepare SLS for liftoff. Watch to learn how NASA engineers and technicians put SLS to the test before launch day.

Honoring the 50th Anniversary of NASA's Apollo 17 Moon Mission

On Dec. 7, 1972, NASA astronauts Harrison Schmitt, Eugene Cernan, and Ronald Evans lifted off on Apollo 17—the final mission of the Apollo program. Cernan and Schmitt landed on the Moon on Dec. 11, spending three days on the lunar surface before rejoining Evans in orbit and returning to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 19.

Apollo 17 was the most recent mission to land humans on the Moon—and our next one isn't far away. As our Artemis missions prepare to return humans to the Moon and build a sustainable lunar presence, join us for a look back at Apollo 17.

Researchers were already aware of the existence of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur on Enceladus but phosphorus was still missing from the equation until now.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, but is just far away enough in its orbit that the Sun is not completely covered—creating a large, bright ring in the sky.

NASA 65th Anniversary: A Journey Beyond the Stars

Celebrating 65 years, NASA is a symbol of human creativity and exploration. NASA has consistently pushed boundaries, from the historic Apollo missions that landed the first humans on the Moon to the Space Shuttle program that built the International Space Station. Missions like Landsat and Cassini have deepened our understanding of Earth and our solar system. With NASA launching the James Webb Space Telescope, the future holds even more exciting discoveries. Throughout all these adventures, NASA's commitment to exploration and science continues to lead the way.

Today, the Artemis missions herald a new chapter, aiming to return humanity to the Moon and laying robust foundations for expeditions to Mars and beyond. As we honor NASA's storied past, we anticipate a future filled with discoveries, technologies, and deep-space exploration encouraged by a new generation of dedicated explorers. Here's to NASA, commemorating 65 years of cosmic exploration, innovation, and the undying quest to expand our universal frontier.
