As NASA invites the public to follow the Artemis II mission as a crew of four astronauts venture around the Moon inside the agency’s Orion spacecraft, people around the world can pinpoint Orion during its journey using the Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW).

NASA's Artemis II mission completes a critical engine burn, propelling the Orion spacecraft and its four-person crew out of Earth orbit toward the moon.

Orion's interior space is equivalent to that of two minivans, NASA says. That's a lot more breathing room than space capsules of the 1960s and '70s.

NASA's Artemis 2 mission successfully launched on April 1, 2026, sending four astronauts in the Orion spacecraft to orbit the moon in a landmark test flight.

The Artemis II crew launched from Kennedy Space Center aboard Orion, embarking on NASA's first crewed moon mission since the Apollo era of the 1970s.

Here is what life will be like for the four astronauts onboard the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission.

NASA 's Artemis Real-time Orbit Website, or AROW, allows the public to track the moonship. During the roughly 10-day test flight, anyone with a phone or computer can see how far the crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen — are from Earth.

NASA’s Orion spacecraft is now orbiting Earth as astronauts perform system checks and fix onboard issues. The historic 10-day crewed mission will soon head for a Moon flyby, track every milestone and live developments on republicworld.
