Artemis II, NASA's first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years, represents a shift from short visits toward sustained exploration, where understanding lunar geology and resources becomes as important as the engineering that gets astronauts there. Artemis II is currently scheduled to launch Wednesday, April 1, at 6:24 p.m. EDT, with backup launch opportunities through early April if needed.
