Artemis II readies crewed lunar flyby with cutting-edge biology experiments
NASA's Artemis II will launch four astronauts on a roughly ten-day lunar flyby to test spacecraft systems for future lunar landings and advance science in deep space. The crew will study how deep-space travel affects health, monitor radiation exposure with cabin sensors, collect biological samples, and use an organ-on-a-chip experiment built from each astronaut's blood cells to probe DNA damage and telomere changes, while observing lunar terrain never seen up close and training for a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
