"Artemis 2 Orion Spacecraft Begins Lunar Mission Testing"

NASA's Artemis 2 Orion spacecraft, set to fly around the moon with four astronauts in 2025, is undergoing vital testing at Kennedy Space Center to ensure its readiness for the mission. The spacecraft is being tested for electromagnetic interference and compatibility in a vacuum chamber. The astronauts, including the first Black person to leave low Earth orbit and the first woman to go beyond it, will be aboard the spacecraft. The mission is part of the larger Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon and establish a settlement at the moon's south pole.
