New NASA Moon Mission 1-18-26

NASA is preparing for the February launch of Artemis II, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. The 322-foot Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft are being rolled to Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center after final integration. The mission, targeting no earlier than February 6, will carry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen. They will orbit the moon for about 10 days before returning to Earth. A wet dress rehearsal will precede the launch, with subsequent windows in March and April if needed. Crew safety remains NASA’s top priority. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/nasa-prepares-to-roll-out-mega-artemis-ii-rocket-ahead-of-astronaut-moon-mission/1852808
