Live coverage of Artemis II’s launch and lunar flyby, as well as daily mission briefings, will also stream on this feed. These events will additionally be carried as standalone streams on NASA’s YouTube channel and elsewhere.

Four astronauts — three from NASA and one from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) — make up the Artemis II crew:

• NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander

• NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot

• NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist

• Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist

After launching into space atop SLS, the crew will journey around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft on an approximately 10-day mission. Artemis II will be the first crewed flight test of SLS and Orion, testing the technologies we’ll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars.
