Artemis II Mission Overview | NASA
Artemis II mission was a planned mission by NASA as part of the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually establish a sustainable presence there. Artemis II is also known as the Artemis II Moon mission.
Here is an overview of the Artemis II mission:
Mission Objective: The primary objective of Artemis II is to test the Orion spacecraft in a crewed mission around the Moon. This mission will serve as a stepping stone for future Artemis missions, including Artemis III, which is intended to land astronauts on the lunar surface.
Crew: Artemis II is expected to carry a crew of astronauts on board the Orion spacecraft. However, the specific crew members have not been publicly announced as of my last update.
Spacecraft: The crewed spacecraft for Artemis II is the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), which is designed to carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit. It is being developed by NASA and its contractor partners.
Launch Vehicle: The Space Launch System (SLS) is planned to be used to launch the Orion spacecraft for Artemis II. The SLS is a powerful, expendable launch vehicle developed by NASA for deep space missions.
Mission Profile: Artemis II is expected to follow a trajectory that takes it around the Moon but does not involve a lunar landing. Instead, it will perform a flyby of the Moon, orbit it, and then return to Earth.
Testing and Validation: The mission is crucial for testing the systems and technology required for future lunar landings, such as life support, navigation, and communication systems. It will also test the performance of the spacecraft and the SLS.
Lunar Gateway: Artemis II may also have the opportunity to rendezvous with the Lunar Gateway, a space station planned to orbit the Moon, as part of its mission profile.
