A missão Artemis II da NASA foi lançada em 1 de abril de 2026, marcando a primeira viagem lunar tripulada desde 1972. Todos os quatro astronautas—o comandante Reid Wiseman, o piloto Victor Glover, a especialista de missão Christina Koch e o especialista de missão Jeremy Hansen—usam o Omega Speedmaster X-33 Generation 2 durante o voo. Este relógio de titânio serve como equipamento oficial a bordo da espaçonave.

A tripulação da Artemis II decolou às 22:35:12 UTC de uma base de lançamento da NASA, iniciando uma jornada ao redor da Lua. Imagens da NASA mostram os astronautas Glover e Hansen usando o X-33 sobre seus trajes laranja durante os preparativos. A missão representa um passo fundamental no retorno da NASA à exploração lunar após mais de cinco décadas.

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 transferred 55 speedmaster watches to museum in 1976

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.

Artemis II detects helium leak but proceeds to safe reentry

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.
