NASA prepares for Artemis II launch as flight system issue is resolved
NASA is moving forward with the Artemis II mission — the first crewed trip around the moon since the 1970s — after engineers resolved a potential issue with the flight termination system. The 10‑day mission will send astronauts around the moon without landing before returning to Earth. With the countdown continuing at Kennedy Space Center, officials say the launch remains on schedule as excitement builds for the historic flight.
