WATCH: Artemis II launch onboard SLS like you've never seen before!

NASA launches Space Launch System SLS Block I from LC-39B, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA on Wed Apr 1, 2026 at 22:35 UTC. Artemis II will send four astronauts in the first crewed Orion capsule in a lunar free return trajectory for a 10-day mission. The commander of the mission is Reid Wiseman (NASA), the pilot Victor Glover (NASA), and the two mission specialists are Christina Koch (NASA) and Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agency, CSA). Christina Koch will become the first woman to venture beyond Low Earth Orbit, and Jeremy Hansen will become the first non-American to achieve the milestone. The Orion capsule used in this mission, CM-003, was named Integrity by the Artemis II astronauts. All the rights from this video belong to NASA. I do not own any footage shown in this video.
