Join UCCS for an Artemis II Online Launch Watch Party!

The University of Colorado Colorado Springs invites you to be part of history as we host an online watch party for NASA’s Artemis II mission, the first crewed journey around the Moon in over 50 years. We’ll be tuning in together through NASA’s official YouTube livestream at https://www.youtube.com/nasa.

Before the big day, NASA must first complete a wet dress rehearsal, a full fueling and countdown test of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. The team is targeting as early as 9 p.m. ET on Jan. 31 for this critical milestone. Once engineers review the results and verify that all rocket and ground systems performed as expected, mission managers will set the official launch date.

NASA has identified multiple possible launch opportunities over the coming months. Each window is approximately two hours long (with the exception of March 11, which is one hour and 55 minutes):
