Artemis 2 (previously Exploration Mission 2 , EM-2 for short ) is the mission name for the first manned flight of the US Orion MPCV spacecraft . The part of the Artemis program of NASA for 2022-2023 planned space flight around the moon would also be the first manned lunar mission since Apollo 17 .
The mission goal of Artemis 2 is to test the systems and work processes on board the spaceship.
Mission history
The launch is planned from ramp 39-B of the Kennedy Space Center . An SLS Block 1 in the configuration with four RS-25D engines in the central stage, two 5-segment solid fuel boosters and an upper stage based on the Delta IV will serve as the launch vehicle .
First, the function of the Orion life support systems should be tested in an earth orbit . The trip to the moon is scheduled for 4 days, another 4 days are planned for the return flight. Depending on the achievement of secondary mission objectives, these times could, however, extend up to a total mission duration of 21 days.
