Nov 16, 2022 · Artemis I was the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Deep Space Exploration Systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, with the upgraded Exploration Ground Systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Artemis I, formerly Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), [9] was an uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission that was launched in November 2022. As the first major spaceflight of NASA's Artemis program, Artemis I marked the agency's return to lunar exploration after the conclusion of the Apollo program five decades earlier.

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a long-term human presence at the Moon for decades to come. The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on ...

The Artemis program is a Moon exploration program led by the United States' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), formally established in 2017 via Space Policy Directive 1. It is intended to reestablish a human presence on the Moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

Jan 8, 2025 · The Artemis I mission began with a successful liftoff of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket Nov. 16, from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over the course of flight test, flight controllers have tested Orion’s capabilities in the harsh environment of deep space to prepare for flying astronauts on Artemis II.

Nov 16, 2022 · NASA’s uncrewed Artemis I mission successfully completed a journey that propelled the Orion spacecraft around the moon and back to Earth. Explore NASA’s new rocket and trace the trajectory of...

Check back to track Artemis II, the first crewed mission of the Orion spacecraft that will take NASA astronauts Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen around the Moon.

The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration, and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond. 1)

2 days ago · Artemis I. Artemis I was the first integrated flight of NASA’s new deep space human exploration system — the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and Exploration Ground Systems at Kennedy Space Center in Florida — testing our capabilities to orbit the Moon and return to Earth and setting the stage …

Nov 14, 2022 · For Artemis I, SLS will blast an uncrewed Orion to lunar orbit and back. The mission will culminate with Orion’s splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California. It’s a critical test that will demonstrate both vehicles are ready for astronaut missions.
