Artemis II mission pushes humanity farther from Earth than any human flight before, surpassing Apollo records during its lunar flyby. Victor Glover becomes the first person of color, Christina Koch the first woman, and Jeremy Hansen the first Canadian on a lunar trajectory.
Here is a LIVE STREAMING Historic Mission Countdown to Launch of Artemis II Pad Cam below:
Update 2-4-26: Launch delayed to March. There are five potential launch dates available in March for Artemis 2, which will lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida: March 6-9 and March 11. If the mission can't make any of those dates, another window opens in April, with launch possible on April 1, April 3-6 and April 30.
Update 3-31-26: We have an 80% chance of launch on April 1st @ 6:24pm ET.
Officially, here are the NASA links to watch the launch also.
"The crew will perform proximity operations with the discarded upper stage on day 1, test life support like water dispensers and the toilet, and conduct trajectory corrections on days 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10. Day 6 brings the closest lunar approach (4,000-6,000 miles), with photo/video documentation and real-time observations during a 30-50 minute comms blackout behind the Moon. Reentry involves heat shield exposure to 3,000°F, followed by parachutes for a 17 mph splashdown" Source
