Artemis II: Humanity Breaks Earth’s Orbit for Historic Lunar Return For the first time in over five decades, a crewed spacecraft has successfully departed Earth’s orbit to journey toward the Moon. Following a critical six-minute engine burn on Thursday, April 2, 2026, NASA’s Artemis II mission is now on a precise trajectory for a lunar flyby, marking a monumental leap in the modern era of space exploration. The mission, which lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center on April 1, carries a diverse crew of four: NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, alongside Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said on X that the second so-called wet dress rehearsal — a full launch countdown simulation without lift-off — marked “a big step toward America’s return to the lunar environment.” Lori Glaze, a NASA manager, said repairs to issues encountered during earlier testing had proven effective. Nearly all procedures were completed as planned […]
