NASA is preparing to launch its next major lunar exploration mission, which will cause excitement among people. The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon, which will be the first manned lunar flight in more than fifty years.
The mission will launch today at 6:24 PM EDT from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida using the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. The mission crew consists of NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
How to watch the NASA Artemis II launch live
The launch of NASA Artemis II will be streamed live across multiple platforms that NASA has created for global online access. SLS refueling coverage begins at 7:45 a.m. EDT and the full countdown begins at 12:50 p.m. EDT.
The first post-launch press conference starts about 2.5 hours after the rockets take off. Streaming services include NASA+, NASA’s website, YouTube and simulcasts on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
NASA officials said weather conditions remain mostly suitable for Wednesday’s launch, but cumulus clouds and light showers pose a potential hazard. NASA Launch Weather Officer Mark Burger explained that the two-hour launch window will experience gentle winds that will help clear clouds.
Test director Jeff Spaulding confirmed that the rocket systems, countdown procedures and crew are prepared for launch, barring any last-minute changes.
