Very big congratualtions to NASA, the Artemis II Mission and its 4 Astronauts:

1. Reid Wiseman (Commander)
2. Victor Glover (Pilot)
3. Christina Koch (Mission Specialist; 1-3 are all from NASA) and
4. Jeremy Hansen (Mission Specialist, from Canadian Space Agency)

The success of Artemis II Moon Mission and your great and extraordinary achievements of:

1. Going farther from Earth than any human has ever gone -- breaking the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970, and
2. Actually seeing and photographed the lunar features of the OTHER SIDE or FAR SIDE of the Moon never before seen by human eyes

once again prove that human potentials and capabilities for deep Space Explorations are unlimited and continuously advancing -- for great scientific discoveries that would benefit humanity in this New Space Age.

WELCOME HOME, ARTEMIS 2!!!

ARTEMIS 2 MOON (FAR SIDE) FLYBY IMAGES

Views of the FAR SIDE of the MOON (the OTHER SIDE of he Moon seen for the very first time by human eyes and photographed/videoed by the Artemis 2 astronauts)

A Solar Eclipse was created during the lunar flyby of Artemis 2 Mission's Orion Spacecraft!

Solar eclipse.

During the lunar fly on April 6, the Sun, the Moon, and the Orion spacecraft aligned, creating a solar eclipse from the perspective of the Artemis II astronauts.

The NEAR SIDE of the Moon (the side that's always facing us)

Approaching the near side of the Moon.

The Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the record for the distance from Earth at 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 UTC). This record was previously set during the Apollo 13 mission when the astronauts traveled 248,655 miles from Earth. The Moon continues to grow larger and larger in the windows of the Orion spacecraft as the Artemis II mission gears up to observe the far side. The astronauts are predicted to make their closest approach of the Moon around 7:02 p.m. EDT (2302 UTC).

"Hello, Moon! It's great to be back after 54 years!" The Moon's NEAR SIDE (right) and FAR SIDE (left) combined view

Make new friends, but keep the old.

This new photo from the Artemis II crew features a combined view of the Moon’s near and far sides.

🌓 The near side, visible on the right, is identifiable by the dark splotches that cover its surface, created early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. This is the side of the Moon we can see from Earth.

The large crater west of the lava flows is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides. The Artemis II crew are the first people to ever see the full Orientale Basin.

🌗 Everything to the left of the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits round us.

We're going farther than ever before 🚀

Today, the Artemis II crew will fly around the far side of the Moon. Their journey will take them farther from Earth than any human has ever gone—breaking the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

As they sail around the Moon, the crew will photograph lunar features never before seen by human eyes. At their closest point, they'll pass roughly 4,000 miles above the lunar surface.

You can watch history as it’s made. Full lunar flyby coverage begins at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). Watch with us: nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/

● The ARTEMIS 2 MOON MISSION Countdown & Launch: Full Video

The Artemis 2 lifts off from the launch pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, U.S.A., April 1, 2026.

The very exciting, historic, lunar venture will mark the first time astronauts have returned to the vicinity of the Moon after 54 years! The last mission was the Apollo 17 in 1972.

This time, Artemis 2 would break the distance record set by the Apollo Program, traveling farther from Earth than any human ever has!

The mission's crew includes 4 astronauts: NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch along with the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen.

The ARTEMIS 2 MISSION is the first crewed flight of NASA's Artemis Program. Its PRIMARY PURPOSE is to serve as a comprehensive systems validation of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft with humans on board, proving that they can safely sustain a crew in deep space before a future lunar landing.

The MAIN OBJECTIVES of the 10-day Mission include:

1. Life-Support Validation: Testing Orion’s critical environmental and life-support systems (air, water, and waste management) in a real deep-space environment for the first time with humans.

2. Manual Piloting & Proximity Operations: Demonstrating the crew's ability to manually maneuver Orion, including a "proximity operations" test using the spent SLS upper stage (ICPS) as a target to practice for future dockings.

3. Human Health & Radiation Research: Monitoring the crew's biological responses to deep-space radiation and microgravity, including experiments like AVATAR (organ-on-a-chip) and ARCHeR (sleep and behavioral studies).

4. Lunar Observation: Conducting detailed geological surveys of the lunar far side during the flyby to help scientists plan for future landing sites, specifically near the lunar south pole.

5. High-Speed Reentry Test: Validating the performance of Orion's heat shield as it reenters Earth's atmosphere at approximately 25,000 mph (40,000 km/h)—the fastest crewed reentry ever attempted.

6. Laser Communications: Testing the O2O (Orion Artemis II Optical Communications) system, which uses lasers to transmit data to Earth at much higher speeds than traditional radio.

Mission Timeline (April 2026)
Flight Day & Key Milestone

Day 1 (April 1) -- Launch from Kennedy Space Center; Proximity operations demonstration
Day 2-4 -- Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) burn to commit to the Moon
Day 5 -- Entry into the Moon’s sphere of influence (gravitational pull)
Day 6-9) -- Lunar Flyby; Closest approach (approx. 4,000–6,000 miles)
Day 10 (Apr 10) -- Atmospheric reentry on Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean

Successful completion of this mission will clear the way for Artemis 3 (testing lunar landers in Earth orbit in 2027) and Artemis 4, the planned return of humans to the lunar surface (Moon landings) in 2028 paving the way for a sustained human presence on the Moon.

The Artemis 2 Mission is a pivotal step for future crewed/manned missions to Mars.
