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.

Heat shield safety concerns raise stakes for Nasa’s Artemis II Moon mission Worries were raised when the heat shield from a previous mission came back damaged.

Seeing images of the #SpaceLaunchSystem on the pad really underscores the magnitude of the #ArtemisII mission. I wrote an article for @uk.theconversation.com on the #OrionSpacecraft heat shield and its critical role in the mission:

Helium Issue Prompts Possible Artemis II Return to Assembly Building Aviation News – NASA is preparing to potentially roll back its Artemis II launch vehicle from the pad after engineers detected an interruption in helium flow to the Space Launch System (SLS) upper stage, a move that could briefly delay preparations for the agency’s first crewed lunar mission in decades. The issue emerged overnight on Feb. 21 as teams monitored systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
