Artemis II Nears Moon Orbit

The four-member crew, consisting of three Americans and one Canadian, is the first to travel beyond Earth's orbit in over fifty years.

During the upcoming flyby, the astronauts will rely primarily on visual observation to study the lunar surface, describing their own eyes as the best cameras ever made.

While the mission is breaking deep-space records, the crew has shared humorous and humbling updates regarding life in space, including sleep patterns and technical glitches with personal tablets.

The mission serves as a vital precursor to NASA's planned lunar landing in two years.
