NASA is set to launch the Artemis II mission, the first crewed Moon flight since 1972, on February 6, 2026. The mission will involve astronauts testing the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System during a 10-day journey around the Moon, with a crew that includes members from both NASA and the Canadian Space Agency. This initiative aims to establish a foundation for sustainable lunar exploration and future missions to Mars, amid rising competition from countries like China.
