NASAfā shè发射“ā ěr tè mí sī èr hào阿尔忒弥斯二号” yǔ háng yuán宇航员jiāng将rào绕yuè月fēi xíng飞行
On April 1, NASA launched the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts into space.
This is an important step forward for humanity to return to the Moon after more than 50 years.
The four astronauts are from the United States and Canada. They will carry out a mission of about 10 days, orbiting the Moon in a spacecraft before returning to Earth.
The main goal of this mission is to test the new rocket, spacecraft, and other equipment to see if they can safely take humans farther into space and bring them back successfully.
The United States hopes to use this mission to prepare for future Moon landings, planning to attempt a Moon landing in 2028 and aiming to establish a base on the Moon.
The last time humans landed on the Moon was in 1972.
This flight may also set a new record because the astronauts will travel to a place very far from Earth.
