when will artemis reach the moon

Artemis II is scheduled to reach the Moon about five days after launch , with current reporting saying it should arrive by Monday night if the mission stays on schedule. NASA had also been targeting an April 1, 2026 launch , after earlier delays, so the exact arrival date depends on that launch timing.

Quick Scoop

The mission is a lunar flyby , not a landing, and the crewed spacecraft is expected to travel around the Moon and return to Earth on a roughly 10-day mission.
