Revision History

NASA completed its Artemis II Flight Readiness Review on March 12, 2026, clearing the path for a potential April launch of the first crewed mission to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. After overcoming a helium flow issue that forced the SLS rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building in late February, NASA is preparing to roll the vehicle back to Launch Complex 39B, with four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — set to embark on a 10-day flyby of the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft.
