美国Artemis 2任务的四名宇航员从佛罗里达州肯尼迪航天中心发射升空，开启10天绕月飞行，这是50多年来人类首次重返月球轨道。中国正密切关注此次任务，以获取技术经验，为自身2030年登月计划做准备。
周三当地时间，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的太空发射系统（SLS）携带猎户座（Orion）飞船和Artemis 2的四名机组成员从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心升空，执行为期10天的绕月任务。
这是自阿波罗时代以来人类首次重返月球轨道。中国正为2030年登月做准备，此次任务为北京提供了宝贵的技术观察机会。
香港大学天体物理学教授Quentin Parker表示，中国和其他太空国家将“像鹰一样”密切关注Artemis 2。“他们将‘全神贯注地’观察Artemis机组和任务的所有经验教训，”Parker说。
Parker强调，此次任务对中国等国具有重要参考价值，尤其是在月球南极竞赛中，中国计划通过长征火箭和梦舟飞船参与国际月球科研站建设，以挑战NASA的2028年截止日期。

Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.
A two-day countdown is underway for NASA's Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch four astronauts on a flight around the moon from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is set for a two-hour window opening at 6:24 pm EDT on Wednesday, with backup opportunities through April 6. The crew will test the Orion spacecraft on a 10-day journey, marking humans' first deep space voyage in more than 50 years.

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's Artemis II crew, aboard the Orion spacecraft named Integrity, has successfully departed Earth's orbit and is heading toward the Moon after a key engine burn. The astronauts reported no major issues, shared stunning photos of Earth, and spoke with family and media. The mission remains on track for a closest approach to the Moon on Monday and splashdown on April 10.

NASA has set March 6 as the earliest possible launch date for the Artemis II mission following a successful second fueling test of its Space Launch System rocket. The test at Kennedy Space Center resolved issues from an earlier attempt marred by a hydrogen leak. The mission will send four astronauts around the Moon in a crewed test of the Orion spacecraft.
NASA's Artemis II astronauts are returning to Earth after a 10-day journey to the far side of the moon, with splashdown scheduled for Friday evening. The agency will livestream the historic homecoming. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman stated that the mission is not over until everyone arrives home safely.
