The Artemis II mission successfully concluded, with its four-member crew returning to Earth after a 25-day journey.
The mission set a new record for human travel, reaching a maximum distance of 406,771 kilometers (252,756 miles) from Earth.
This crewed test flight was a critical step in validating the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) for future lunar missions.
Artemis II is a precursor to Artemis III, which aims to land humans on the Moon's south pole.
The primary agency responsible for the Artemis program, including the development of the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS).
A key international partner, providing the Canadarm3 robotic arm for the Lunar Gateway and contributing an astronaut to the Artemis II mission.
India's first human spaceflight program, aiming to send a crew of three astronauts to an orbit of 400 km for a 3-day mission. Both Artemis and Gaganyaan represent significant advancements in human spaceflight capabilities for their respective nations.
ISRO's lunar exploration program, with Chandrayaan-3 successfully landing a rover on the Moon's south pole. These robotic missions complement crewed missions like Artemis by providing crucial data and scouting potential landing sites.
A planned small space station in lunar orbit, intended to serve as a multi-purpose outpost supporting sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon and deeper space. It is a key component of the Artemis program.
A series of non-binding bilateral agreements between the U.S. and other nations, establishing a framework for cooperation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space, particularly for lunar missions.
