Artemis II lunar flyby

During their loop around the Moon, the crew traveled further from Earth than any humans in history, witnessing a total solar eclipse from a unique celestial vantage point.

The mission achieved a significant milestone by conducting the first radio linkup between a moonship and the International Space Station.

Astronauts also named a lunar crater 'Carroll' in a poignant tribute to mission commander Reid Wiseman's late wife.

Scientists have begun analyzing the vast amount of data and high-resolution imagery returned by the mission.
