Artemis II Rollout

NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, second from right, speaks to members of the media alongside CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, as NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft rolls out to Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026. In the coming weeks, engineers will prepare for the wet dress rehearsal, a two-day test that simulates launch day. The Artemis II test flight will take Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen around the Moon and back to Earth no later than April 2026. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
