All Systems Cleared for Take Off!
March 31, 2026: Boca Raton, Florida
NASA’s Artemis II launch is approaching and on schedule to take off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center at 6:24 PM tomorrow, April 1, 2026. This will be a 10 day expedition with a crew of four brave astronauts that have stepped up to the challenge, including Reid Wiseman (Commander), Victor Glover (Pilot), Christina Koch (Mission Specialist), and Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agent).
The Artemis II Mission marks the first of a number of achievements in space exploration including the first woman, the first person of color, and the first Canadian to fly to the Moon and back. The crew will also be equipped with 3D human tissue chips to study the effect of deep space radiation on the human body, furthering advancements in science for the good of mankind.
The Artemis II mission will be a 10 day journey, totaling 685,000 miles. The rocket will launch 230,000 miles from Earth and approximately 4,600 miles beyond the far side of the moon, farther than any crewed mission in history.
Imperx is proud to announce that our ruggedized SDI-B1320 and SDI-B1920 Bobcat series cameras will be aboard the core of the SLS rocket on the Orion Spacecraft to capture the stage separation as it launches into space. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to capture history in the making and to contribute to the innovation that is shaping the lunar expeditions of the future.
