Dawn of a New Era Of Spaceflight: Artemis I Paves the Way For Humanity’s Reach to the Moon and Beyond
NASA is about to launch a new chapter of space exploration. In less than two weeks, NASA will launch its Mega Moon rocket, the Space Launch System, carrying the Orion spacecraft for the first time as the first step as part of NASA’s Artemis lunar exploration efforts. The uncrewed test flight will mark the first time since the last Apollo mission that a spacecraft designed for crew has made a flight around the Moon, and will set the stage for the first woman and first person of color to set foot on the Moon.
Artemis I, targeted to launch as soon as Aug. 29 at 8:33 a.m. EDT, will send the Orion spacecraft 40,000 miles beyond the Moon. At that distance, Orion will break Apollo 13’s record for furthest from Earth any spacecraft designed for humans has gone.

Live interviews will be offered on Friday, August 26th from 6 a.m.- 1 p.m. EDT

These interviews are virtual only. A form for on-site interview requests will be sent to media already credentialed to attend launch in person.
Suggested Anchor Intro:
Next week, NASA is launching a new chapter in space exploration with the Artemis I mission. This mission is the first phase of a new era for NASA called Artemis which will pave the way for humans to go to the Moon and eventually Mars. Here to talk about this historic mission is NASA expert XX.
Suggested Questions:
NASA is launching an historic mission next week, can you tell us about it?
Artemis I is the first in an entirely new set of missions for NASA, how will it get us ready to send humans back to the Moon and on to Mars?
How does the new Artemis program differ from the Apollo program?
What are you most excited about for this mission?
Where can our viewers go to learn more about this flight and the Artemis program?
Do you have feedback for the Live Shot Program or want to be removed from our contact list? We would love to hear from you HERE!
