Four astronauts will fly around the Moon and back on Artemis II, the first crewed flight under NASA's Artemis campaign. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen will be the first humans aboard the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and supporting ground systems as the crew ventures into the harsh environment of space. This flight is another step toward crewed missions to the lunar surface and helping the agency...

NASA’s Artemis II mission launched on April 1, 2026, sending a crew of four astronauts on a mission around the Moon. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen completed a nearly 10-day journey that took them 252,756 miles from home at their farthest distance from Earth. Share the excitement of the Artemis II mission with learners of all ages with the Artemis II STEM Learning Pathway. Each set of resources can be...

Hooray! NASA is working to send humans back to the Moon to live, learn, and explore through the Artemis campaign. As a member of the Artemis Generation, NASA invites you to be a part of the story. Hooray for SLS!, written by Lane Polak and illustrated by Heather Rose Legge-Click, is the first in a series of children’s books that introduces young explorers ages 3 to 8 to the unique elements needed for the Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon, like NASA’s SLS (Space Launch...

On Earth, gravity pulls liquid down. But in space, with almost no gravity, water forms floating spheres! Learn more about how this strange phenomenon affects astronauts' day-to-day life on the International Space Station.

“There and Back with EGS,” written by Lane Polak and illustrated by Heather Rose Legge-Click, is the third in a series of children’s books that introduces young explorers ages 3 to 8 to some of the unique elements and programs needed for the Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon, such as NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems or EGS for short. When the mighty SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and dependable Orion spacecraft are ready for their big mission, they travel to NASA’s...

Pi is a number. You might know it as 3.14 or the symbol π. But it’s way more than that! Click to explore our guide and learn all about the way NASA uses pi!

Have you ever kicked a soccer ball and wondered why it curves, spins, or sometimes wobbles? NASA astronaut Jessica Meir aboard the International Space Station explains the science hidden inside every ball. Engineers carefully design soccer balls so they fly smoothly whether they’re being kicked in your backyard or in the World Cup. Watch our short video explainer!

Many people believe that Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and that is why it is hotter. And, likewise, they think Earth is farthest from the Sun in the winter. Although this idea makes sense, it is incorrect! Click to learn all about what causes the seasons.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is transforming space exploration. Onboard the International Space Station, astronauts are using this technology to create tools, test innovative materials, and prepare for future long-duration missions to destinations like the Moon and Mars. In the 3D Printing STEMonstration video, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams shares how 3D printing enables real-time problem solving and supports essential research by manufacturing tools directly in...
