Artemis II is the first crewed mission under NASA’s Artemis campaign and will send four astronauts — NASA’s Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen — on an approximately 10-day mission around the Moon and back. The crew will venture around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft and launch atop NASA’s powerful SLS (Space Launch System) rocket from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission will test and check out all of Orion’s life supporting systems in the deep space environment before NASA flies Artemis missions to the surface of the Moon. Artemis II is the first crewed deep space mission in more than 50 years. This clip is from a crew news conference that took place at NASA's Johnson Space Center on Sept. 24, 2025. Commander Reid Wiseman addresses the crew about their upcoming mission around the Moon.
