As NASA's Artemis II mission unfolds, you can track the spacecraft's journey in real-time using NASA's official tracker, the Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW), or even through telescope livestreams.
The AROW platform shows the current position of the Orion spacecraft, its speed, distance from Earth and the Moon, and key mission milestones.
For smartphone users, NASA's app adds an augmented reality feature, allowing you to visualize where Orion is positioned relative to Earth at any given moment.
The tracking system relies on sensors onboard Orion, which continuously send data back to mission control, providing users with real-time updates from launch to re-entry.
Artemis II is a critical test flight, aimed at validating systems for future lunar landings under NASA's Artemis program, which could eventually establish a sustained human presence on the Moon and pave the way for journeys to Mars.
