KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida — The US military has always been part of NASA’s human spaceflight program. The first astronauts were nearly all military pilots, and two of the four crew members set to fly around the Moon on NASA’s Artemis II mission were Navy test pilots before joining the astronaut corps.
NASA's Artemis II two-hour launch window opens at 6:24 pm ET Wednesday, April 1, 2026. See best places on Florida's Treasure Coast to watch liftoff.
