The Artemis mission is planned in three phases. The uncrewed flight took place in late 2022. The second phase will see a crewed mission fly around the moon, followed by the landing of astronauts on the moon in the third phase. The flyby mission, Artemis II, is NASA's first crewed mission to the moon in over 50 years. This 10-day mission sends four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft around the moon. This will become the farthest space journey ever undertaken by humans.
