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.
Fifty-eight years after Apollo 8's lunar orbit, Nasa is set to launch Artemis II, a crewed flyby that will take astronauts farther from Earth than ever before. The mission will test key technologies for future lunar landings and mark a step toward a permanent moon base. The crew, currently in quarantine, includes commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.

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 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 has announced major changes to its Artemis program, shifting away from a lunar landing for the next mission in favor of incremental testing steps. The adjustments aim to increase launch frequency and reduce risks following recent setbacks. Officials hope this will lead to moon landings by 2028.
NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is set to launch Artemis II as soon as April 1, 2026, sending four astronauts on a crewed flyby to the Moon's far side—the farthest from Earth any humans have traveled. This follows February's Artemis program adjustments addressing SLS delays, using the rocket's powerful core stage and boosters detailed ahead of liftoff.

Following their successful launch, NASA's Artemis II astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft resolved a jammed toilet fan and Microsoft Outlook software glitches during the initial phase of their 10-day lunar orbit mission. The crew—Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialists Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch—marks historic firsts: Glover as the first Black astronaut, Koch the first woman, and Hansen the first Canadian to venture toward the moon.
