The Artemis 2 moon mission's SLS rocket is on the pad at Kennedy Space Center for testing ahead of a possible Feb. 6 launch, and you can watch it 24/7 via this livestream.

The convergence of the Artemis II and Crew-12 launch schedules adds another layer of importance to Monday’s countdown test at Kennedy Space Center. For the first time since the 1960s, NASA has separate astronaut crews simultaneously in preflight quarantine, a routine measure to prevent crew members from flying to space with an illness.

NASA's wet dress rehearsal did not go as smoothly as planned. As a result, the Artemis II launch is now no earlier than March 6. Here's what we know.

After pre-launch testing revealed rocket issues, NASA has delayed the Artemis II launch until March. Here's the latest.

The quartet's arrival will take the ISS back up to its normal complement of seven crewmembers. The station has been staffed by just three astronauts — one American and two Russians — since Jan. 15, when SpaceX's Crew-11 mission departed for Earth.

The United States set out to return astronauts to the Moon on its own terms, with NASA’s Artemis program framed as a careful, sustainable sequel to Apollo. Instead, a tightening schedule, technical snags and rising competition have turned the next crewed flight into a race to secure lunar orbit before rivals do.
