The Artemis team has officially embarked on a groundbreaking 10-day mission around the Moon, which may take them farther from Earth than anyone has ever ventured.
During this 10-day mission, the crew will not set foot on the Moon, but they intend to orbit it while journeying further from Earth than anyone has ever ventured. Building on the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022, Nasa’s Artemis initiative is gearing up for deep-space explorations – with a primary objective of reaching Mars in the 2030s.
