NASA is preparing four astronauts for a 10-day flight around the Moon on April 2. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This is the largest space mission of the United States in the last decade. This mission is an important step in taking humanity to the Moon, Earth's nearest neighbor.

This flight will take place before the Chinese crew lands on the Moon. The mission involves the SLS rocket and its Orion capsule.

This rocket will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The flight is scheduled to begin on April 2 at 18:24 local time.

The crew members are NASA astronauts Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen. They arrived in Florida from Houston on March 27 and underwent a two-week quarantine before the flight.

During the flight, the astronauts will test life support systems and communication devices. Additionally, manual control exercises of the Orion spacecraft will be conducted.

The Artemis II mission will take the crew into lunar orbit and fly a distance of 406,000 kilometers. This will be the longest space flight in human history.

The SLS rocket was created by Boeing and Northrop Grumman, and the Orion capsule was developed by Lockheed Martin. Each flight requires an expenditure of around 2–4 billion dollars.

This is important for maintaining the United States' leadership in space. Through this program, NASA aims to establish a long-term base at the Moon's south pole.

By 2028, the Artemis IV mission plans to land the first crew on the Moon. At the same time, SpaceX and Blue Origin companies are also developing the necessary technologies for the flight.
