BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – As NASA invites the public to follow the Artemis II mission as a crew of four astronauts venture around the Moon inside the agency’s Orion spacecraft, people around the world can pinpoint Orion during its journey using the Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW).
During the approximately 10-day mission, NASA will test how the spacecraft’s systems operate as designed with crew aboard in the deep space environment. Using AROW, anyone with internet access can track Orion and the crew’s location, including their distance from Earth, the Moon, mission duration, and more. Access to AROW is available on:
Using AROW, the public can visualize data that is collected by sensors on Orion and then sent to the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston during its flight. It will provide constant information using this real-time data beginning about one minute after liftoff through Orion’s atmospheric reentry to Earth at the end of the mission.
Online, users can follow AROW to see where Orion and the crew are in relation to the Earth and the Moon and follow Orion’s path during the mission. Users can view key mission milestones and characteristics on the Moon, including information about landing sites from the Apollo program.
The Artemis II mission is a major step in NASA’s effort to return humans to the Moon under the Artemis program. It will be the first crewed mission of the new deep-space exploration system since the era of Apollo program.
Artemis II is a critical test before Artemis III, which aims to land humans on the Moon for the first time since 1972. It will:
Validate systems needed for long-duration deep space missions
Help establish a sustainable human presence near the Moon
Lay groundwork for future missions to Mars
