NASA plans first mission to the Moon in 50 years

NASA has announced that it hopes to send a group of astronauts on a ten-day trip around the Moon in February 2026.

The US space agency had previously committed to a launch no later than the end of April, but now aims to bring the mission forward.

As the BBC reports, it has been 50 years since any country has carried out a manned mission to the Moon. NASA will send four astronauts there to test systems.

The Artemis II mission is the second launch under the Artemis program, which aims to land astronauts on the lunar surface again and then establish a long-term presence there.

Lakiesha Hawkins, acting deputy administrator for NASA, said this will be a significant moment in human space exploration.

“Together we have a front row seat to history,” she said at a press conference this afternoon. “The launch window could open as early as February 5, but we want to emphasize that safety is our top priority.”

Artemis Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson said the powerful rocket built to send astronauts to the Moon, called the Space Launch System (SLS), is almost ready for launch.

The first Artemis mission lasted 25 days and involved the launch of an uncrewed spacecraft in November 2022. The rocket traveled around the Moon and re-entered Earth's atmosphere.

The mission was very successful, however, there were some problems with the heat shield during re-entry. These problems have now been addressed. Artemis II will send four astronauts on a ten-day trip to the Moon and back to Earth. They are: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch of NASA, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency. They will not land on the Moon, but they will be the first crew to travel beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
