National Aeronautics and Space Administration | SLS Block 1 | Artemis II Rocket Launch

Artemis II is the first crewed mission as part of the Artemis program. Artemis II will send a crew of 4 – 3 Americans and 1 Canadian around the moon and return them back to Earth.

The mission will test the core systems of NASA’s Orion spacecraft including the critical life support system, among other systems which could not be tested during Artemis I due to the lack of crew onboard.

United Launch Alliance | Vulcan VC4S | USSF-87 Rocket Launch

USSF-87 will launch two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8 directly to a near-geosynchronous orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator.

Data from the GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, further enabling space flight safety including satellite collision avoidance.
