The Artemis II crew's nine-day moon mission set a record for the farthest any human has ever traveled from Earth. Here's a look at the key moments.

NASA targets the moon's south pole for a future base as Artemis III prepares to test critical docking maneuvers in Earth's orbit launching next year.

The four astronauts on the ship are returning back to Earth following a landmark 10‑day journey around the Moon.

The Artemis II astronauts flew back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston Saturday to cheers and applause from family members and hundreds of NASA workers.

As the Orion spacecraft hurtles home, friction caused by reentry into Earth's atmosphere will drastically decrease its speed from a potential 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour).

The crew of Artemis II on Saturday evening were being honored at a NASA event welcoming the astronauts back to Houston.

While Apollo was a ‘Lewis and Clark-like’ scientific expedition, planetary research professor James Head III said, Artemis has bigger ambitions: establishing a permanent base on the moon.

Artemis II's moon-traveling astronauts are back home and feted to a thunderous welcome. Still marveling over their record-breaking lunar fly-around, the crew of four flew to Houston's Ellington Field from San Diego on Saturday afternoon.

The astronauts on NASA's Artemis II moon mission are scheduled to land on Earth on Friday. But their re-entry is one of the riskiest parts of the mission, and the Orion spacecraft has known design flaws.

One man with an Alabama connection was, like many, glued to his TV on Friday afternoon, April 10, watching as the Artemis II splashed down in the Pacific. However, his interest in Artemis II went beyond just general excitement for the landing because he had a connection to the mission.
