The crew of Nasa’s Artemis II mission are answering questions from quarantine ahead of the launch of the moon mission.<\/p>\n
Nasa is aiming for an early April launch for the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
The Artemis II mission, which will last about 10 days, will take its astronauts further into space than anyone has been before.<\/p>\n
Artemis II’s crew of four is made up of Nasa commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover and mission specialist Christina Koch. A second mission specialist, Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency, will also be on board.<\/p>\n
The mission involves the first crewed flight of Nasa’s gigantic Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion space capsule.<\/p>\n
