Next up is Artemis-2 in 2024, largely a repeat of Artemis-1, but with four astronauts on board to test Orion’s life support systems. The plan is to land the first woman and the first person of color on the surface of the Moon’s south pole, probably in 2025 in the Artemis-1 mission.

It will then return for an even closer flyby the Moon on its way home. That’s farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. The spacecraft and rocket will launch, orbit the Earth, and then send Orion and the ESM to enter an elliptical orbit of the Moon that will see them get to within 69 miles/111 kilometers above its surface-sometime around September 7, 2022-and about 40,000 miles beyond it in the days after.
