NASA's Artemis II advances permanent human presence on the Moon
Technology
NASA's Artemis II is about to make space history, sending astronauts farther from Earth than anyone in over 50 years as they fly around the Moon's far side.
This mission isn't just a throwback: it's a big step toward NASA's dream of humans living on the Moon for good.
Exploring Orientale Basin and unseen craters
The crew will spend six hours flying by the Moon's far side, exploring spots like the Orientale Basin and craters we've never seen up close.
Thanks to unique lighting and high-resolution photos, we'll get our best look yet at lunar landscapes.
Plus, Artemis II will help NASA test new technology for future missions, so it's not just about cool views; it's about building our future in space.
