Artemis II Science

Artemis II builds on the success of the uncrewed Artemis I in 2022, and will demonstrate a broad range of capabilities needed on deep space missions. The Artemis II test fight will be NASA's first mission with crew aboard the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft.

Astronauts will travel farther from Earth and closer to the moon than any human has been in over half a century. From this unique vantage point and environment, the Artemis II crew will work with scientists on Earth to facilitate science investigations to inform future human spaceflight missions.
