Video: NASA TV Video: NASA TV Video: NASA TV Video: NASA TV Video: NASA TV Video: NASA TV That's all for now from our live coverage. We thank you for your attention. See you next time. Clear skies and bye bye. Tomorrow we will open a new ticker / Thread (on BlueSky) that will cover the whole 10 days Artemis 2 mission. See you there. If you want to see more of our content join Perigee raise maneuver burn is in preparation. All 4 solar array wings are successfully deployed. The Orion capsular is now in a low Earth orbit. Perigee raise maneuver burn in around 20 minutes will bring Orion to the highest Earth orbit before they will enter the route to the moon tomorrow. Tomorrow we will deliver the launch videos from tonight. Available on our PeerTube plattform for everyone. An information how we continue our live coverage over the next ten days. Tomorrow, Central European Summer Time, we will open a new live ticker / Thread (on BlueSky), to cover all milestones of the ten days mission in one big live coverage. The solar array deployment sequence has begun. It takes a few minutes till this is completed. Picture from the lift off core stage separation successful. 10 minutes till the upper stage separation. The trajectory is good. Everything goes according to plan. communication checks with the crew are good. GPS is well too. Commander Reid confirms. Main engine cut off successful. All systems are green. The upper stage is on the way to space. Humans are on the way back to the moon, with the strongest rocket humans have ever built. And we have a lift off of Artemis 2. 1 minute to launch. Engine test successful. Now the rocket is on battery power. The core stage tanks are ready for launch. The automatic preparation for launch is working fine. The crew has now also control about the flight termination system that separates the Orion capsular from the rocket in case of an emergency. We are 7 minutes to the next milestone of humanity. The crew access arm has moved away from the rocket. Everyone is on "go". The countdown T-10 minutes has started. There was a 5 seconds data lose in the logs. This was resolved and data logs are running well. No constrains at the moment. There is a few more work to do. The launch will delay a bit and not happen straight at the opening at the launch window. The countdown is on hold now. In the two hours launch window, we have a 15 minutes window, where no launch can happen. The check list during the launch window has around 200 milestones to check. The battery error occurred was a sensor error. We have a "go" for launch. less than 15 minutes till the launch window opens. From the flight director we got a "go" for launch. Less than 30 minutes until the launch window opens. If we are on "go", we will get a T-10 minutes launch countdown. The white room is now detached from the Orion capsular. Launch preparations continue. We are around 45 minutes until the Launch window opens. Another error occurred. A temperature sensor at one of the two batteries is out of range. The teams are checking if this is a problem with the sensor or with the battery itself. There are training tools on Orion to allow the astronauts to do sports. They also have a kind of hammock like in the International Space Station to sleep. The crew has a heating suite case to heat up there meals. This is picture of the meals and beverages the astronauts have available on Artemis 2. The whole Artemis 2 Mission takes around 10 days, with different stage of where the mission could be aboard and to bring the crew secure back home. We are around one hour away from opening the launch window. This is another major step forward for humanity in space. The return to the moon is a cooperative project between so many nations. It's a worlds job to bring humans permanently to the moon. The rain storms around Kennedy have been moved away and there is a 80% "go" for launch during the launch window. The error in the flight termination system has been resolved. The range of the system is "go". A good message for the launch. Astronauts on Artemis 2 are using tablets to check and make notes during the mission. Christina Koch is the first woman to fly around the moon. Victor Glover is the first black person to fly around the moon. An error in the Launch termination system was detected. A special technician is working to analyze the error with a tool that was already in use in the Space Shuttle era. The countdown continues but if the error remains, we have a "No Go" for launch. Pictures from the Launch Pad The crew is no in the Orion capsular and the support technicians help them to prepare everything for them to have a secure flight. The crew will orbit Earth for around 6 days until they reach the correct orbit and speed to go to the moon. The capsule carrying the crew will go to the furthest point from Earth that a human has ever reached. When they pass the back of the Moon, the capsule will be 400,000 km away from Earth. The crew has reached the top of the rocket, getting their communication devices and space suites before entering the space capsular. The crew that flies to the moon: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen 4 hours to Launch and the Artemis 2 crew has entered the lift at the launch ramp to go into the capsular. Today's launch window opens at 0:24 CEST in the night. The Launch window is about 2 hours. Update from the propellant loading. The Core stage status of liquid hydrogen is 100%. The liquid oxygen tank is at 70 %. The upper stage has 72 % of liquid hydrogen. A first update: The propellant loading is in a successful progress. The core stage is loaded with 96% liquid hydrogen and 62% liquid oxygen. The loading with liquid hydrogen of the upper stage has started. Welcome to our Live Coverage of the launch of the Artemis 2 Mission Our live coverage will start April 1, 2025 at 22:30 CEST, focusing the return of humans to the moon.
