What Is NASA Testing?
Artemis 1 is uncrewed – there are no people onboard.
If everything goes according to plan, the follow-up Artemis 2 mission will have a full crew.
This mission will take the Orion spacecraft to lunar orbit and back to Earth.
Artemis 1 is the first time Orion will be attached to its intended rocket.
The test is an important milestone towards sending humans back to the Moon.
Those missions could also lead to the first crewed mission to Mars.
