Artemis II flight sequence

For Bloomberg, Loren Grush, Sana Pashankar, and Stephanie Davidson describe the Artemis II plan for the evening of April 1.

The mission is a critical milestone in NASA’s ambitious Artemis campaign, aimed at landing humans on the moon once again. In Greek mythology, the goddess Artemis is the twin of Apollo – a nod to the predecessor program that put US astronauts on the lunar surface. This time, however, NASA hopes to establish a base there, where humans can live and work.

The rocket was illustrated with Blender and flight paths are shown with Three.js. I always appreciate a bit of 3-D flourish in space-related illustrations.
