Artemis II was set to launch in February, but a leaky situation has caused a delay. Find out about the challenges NASA is facing with this moon mission.

The photo was captured on Feb. 11, as SpaceX's Crew-12 Dragon spacecraft "Freedom" and its Falcon 9 rocket (closest to the camera) sat on the pad at Space Launch Complex 40, ready to transport a quartet of astronauts to the International Space Station.

Natasha Wiest, Boeing's SLS core stage program manager, delivered a NASA Artemis II-themed speech to a space-industry audience in Cape Canaveral.

NASA's Artemis 2 faces new delays, pushing its launch to at least March. Here's why the crewed lunar mission is postponed, and when it might take off.

NASA’s Stennis Space Center has quietly cleared a major hurdle for Artemis IV by finishing activation of a new high-pressure water system that will shield hardware from the force of full-scale rocket tests.

As NASA prepares to kick off the Artemis missions, experts have noticed a potentially dangerous issue with a crucial component: the newly designed spacesuits.

The first manned mission of the Artemis program won’t land on the moon, but it aims to take four astronauts farther from the Earth than anyone has gone before.

If the fueling test goes well, the Artemis II flight around the moon and back could take off as early as Feb. 8.

Artemis II will then use the push from Orion’s service module to break free from Earth’s orbit. It will take four days to go around the far side of the Moon and then return to Earth using the Earth-Moon gravity field. The daring journey will end in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.
