The Artemis II mission is expected to last about 10 days. NASA’s mission overview and multiple recent reports say the crewed lunar flyby is planned as a roughly ten-day flight, with about three days outbound, time near the Moon, and then the return to Earth.

  • Flight profile: a few days to reach the Moon, a short period near the Moon, then the trip home.
  • Landing: the mission does not land on the Moon; it is a lunar flyby and splashdown mission.
