Artemis: A Horizon Special

### Because of technical problems, the original broadcast date, intended as a companion program to the current mission, was postponed until at least April 2026. ### NASA’s Artemis II will mark the first crewed Moon mission since Apollo 17, set for early 2026. Four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor J. Glover, Jeremy Hansen, and Christina Hammock Koch—will embark on a ten-day journey beyond Earth orbit, circling the Moon before returning home, reaching farther into space than humans have in over 50 years. Using the Space Launch System and Orion capsule, the mission tests every system for future lunar landings and a lasting human presence. This documentary provides exclusive, behind-the-scenes access—from astronaut training in Texas to rocket assembly in Florida—revealing the people, technology, and challenges behind this historic endeavor. Artemis II is a first step toward Artemis III and humanity’s next frontier: Mars.
