- We're launching three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the International Space Station. Watch live with us.
The unpiloted Progress 95 resupply spacecraft is scheduled to lift off at 6:21 p.m. EDT (2221 UTC) on Saturday, April 25, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After liftoff, Progress 95 will travel to the space station, a trip that takes two days. Once there, it will dock autonomously to the orbiting laboratory.
For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs that aren’t possible on Earth. The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and to Mars.

NASA leaders are providing status updates, answering media questions, and discussing mission activities for the day.
Artemis II is the first crewed flight test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion, testing the technologies we'll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars. After lifting off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the Artemis II astronauts are currently journeying around the Moon and back in their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, on an approximately 10-day mission.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

- Description
- We launched Artemis II yesterday. Now what?
Four astronauts recently launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to embark on a mission around the Moon. But liftoff was just the beginning.
The four astronauts aboard the mission — NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen—have spent their first day in space becoming acquainted with the Orion spacecraft. They set up important life support systems, communicated with Mission Control in Houston, and practiced manually piloting the vehicle.
What’s next? The “translunar injection” burn that commits them on the path of their lunar flyby.
