Artemis II mission makes history
April 7
The Artemis II mission is NASA’s first crewed lunar flyby in 50 years, since the Apollo 17 mission. This is the first time since 1972 that humans have departed Earth’s orbit, as four astronauts were on board.
The mission successfully launched at 6:35 p.m. ET on April 1, marking the second in a program that aims to land astronauts on the moon’s surface and construct a base.
Dr. Laurie Leshin, University Professor of Space Futures at ASU, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the mission.
