NASA invites media to witness the launch of its Artemis II lunar mission. This marks the agency’s first crewed lunar flight under the Artemis program. Scheduled for early 2026, Artemis II will send four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon and back.
The crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. They will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, aboard the Orion spacecraft, propelled by the powerful Space Launch System rocket. This mission will validate critical systems needed for deep space exploration.
Media accreditation is open now. Non-U.S. citizens must apply by November 30. U.S. citizens have until December 8 to submit their applications. Those with annual Kennedy access must also request credentials for this specific launch, as all accredited media will access pre-launch events. These include a presentation of the rocket and spacecraft several weeks before the launch.
Interested media can apply online at NASA’s media site. Due to high interest, spots are limited. Approved media will receive a confirmation email with additional information about pre-launch activities. Questions about accreditation can be sent via email, while other inquiries can be directed to the Kennedy Center press office.
This mission represents a pivotal moment in space exploration technology. Artemis aims to lay the groundwork for future American missions to the lunar surface and ultimately prepares for crewed missions to Mars. With Artemis II, NASA continues to push the boundaries of innovation, inviting more collaboration and inspiring a new generation of explorers.
