What is the NASA Artemis I?

NASA will be launching Artemis I, its first uncrewed flight test of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. The agency will roll these Deep Space Explorations Systems out of Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. Through the Artemis missions, NASA will be able to land the first female and the first person of colour on the Moon’s surface. 

Are you just as curious to know more about the mission as you are excited about flying to the moon? The objective of the mission is to demonstrate NASA’s “commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.” Furthermore, Artemis I will take the lead in a series of complex missions to propel human exploration to the Moon and Mars.
