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.

We're sending astronauts around the Moon for the first time in 50 years. Come watch with us.

NASA's Artemis II mission is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center on April 1. The two-hour launch window starts at 6:24 p.m. EDT (2224 UTC). 

Four astronauts — three from NASA and one from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) — make up the Artemis II crew:
- NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander
- NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot
- NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist
- Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist

After launching into space atop NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the crew will journey around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, on an approximately 10-...

STP-S29A is a mission under the U.S. Department of Defense's Space Test Program (STP) that will deliver technology demonstrations to orbit and contribute to future space system development, with this launch delivering up to 200 kg of STP cubesats to Low Earth Orbit.

The main payload will be STPSat-7, an ESPA class satellite based on the Aegis Aerospace M-1 satellite bus used on the STPSat-4 mission for hosting research and technology demonstration payloads for the Department of Defense (DoD). One of the payload is U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Lightsheet Anomaly Resolution and Debris Observation (LARADO) instrument, used to detect and characterize lethal non-trackable orbital debris with lasers in orbit.

JAXA-manifested rideshare of eight separate spacecraft that includes educational small sats, an ocean monitoring satellite, a demonstration satellite for ultra-small multispectral cameras, and a deployable antenna that can be packed tightly using origami folding techniques and unfurled to 25 times its size.

The satellites were originally planned to launch with RAISE-4 on a Japanese Epsilon-S rocket, but the Epsilon-S was heavily delayed due to test firing failures.

The 8 satellites are:

* MAGNARO-II
* KOSEN-2R
* WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II
* FSI-SAT2
* OrigamiSat-2
* Mono-Nikko
