La montre Omega Speedmaster X-33 portée par les astronautes d'Artemis II

La mission Artemis II de la NASA a été lancée le 1er avril 2026, marquant le premier voyage lunaire habité depuis 1972. Les quatre astronautes — le commandant Reid Wiseman, le pilote Victor Glover, la spécialiste de mission Christina Koch et le spécialiste de mission Jeremy Hansen — portent l'Omega Speedmaster X-33 de deuxième génération durant le vol. Cette montre en titane fait partie de l'équipement officiel à bord du vaisseau spatial.

L'équipage d'Artemis II a décollé à 22:35:12 UTC depuis une base de lancement de la NASA, entamant un voyage autour de la Lune. Les images diffusées par la NASA montrent les astronautes Glover et Hansen portant la X-33 au-dessus de leurs combinaisons orange lors des préparatifs. Cette mission représente une étape clé dans le retour de la NASA à l'exploration lunaire après plus de cinq décennies.

NASA's Artemis II mission lifted off successfully on April 1, 2026, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen aboard the Orion spacecraft for the first crewed Moon flyby since Apollo 17. Powered by the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the 10-day test flight will validate critical systems for future lunar landings and Mars missions, looping around the Moon's far side.

NASA provided 55 of its Omega Speedmaster chronographs to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, on April 27, 1976. The agency had received a total of 100 such watches from Omega between 1965 and 1968. Of those, 71 saw use during spaceflight missions from 1965 to 1975.

NASA released 22 photos on Tuesday from the Artemis II crew's historic lunar flyby on Monday, showcasing stunning views of the Moon and Earth. The White House shared images from the far side of the Moon, including the first such photo captured by the Orion spacecraft. The mission broke the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth by humans.

NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft around the Moon since 1972, has encountered a helium leak in its service module but officials say it poses no threat to the crew's return. The spacecraft, carrying astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, launched on April 1 and is set for splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Friday evening. Ground teams adjusted the flight plan to study the leak while maintaining nominal performance.
