"We're about to fly around the Moon.

On Monday, April 6, the four astronauts of Artemis II will travel farther from Earth than any humans in history—breaking the record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.

They'll sail around the far side of the Moon, photographing lunar features never before seen by human eyes. At their closest point, they'll pass roughly 4,000 miles above the lunar surface.

Highlights include:

  • 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 UTC): Artemis II crew surpasses the Apollo 13 distance record

  • 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 UTC): Lunar observation period begins

  • 6:47 p.m. EDT (2247 UTC): Predicted loss of communications as Artemis II heads behind the moon (roughly 40 minutes)

  • 7:02 p.m. EDT (2302 UTC): Artemis II's closest approach to the Moon

  • 7:05 p.m. EDT (2305 UTC): Artemis II reaches its furthest distance from Earth"
