The Artemis II mission tracker called AROW gives the public a new way to follow a historic journey around the Moon. NASA plans to launch the NASA Artemis II mission no earlier than April 1, marking the first crewed lunar flight since 1972. During the roughly 10-day journey, four astronauts will travel aboard the Orion spacecraft and circle the Moon before returning to Earth.
The Artemis II moon mission tracker visualizes important flight data such as Orion's speed, distance from Earth and the Moon, and the mission's elapsed time. Anyone can track Artemis II mission progress using NASA's website or the mobile app, which includes an augmented reality feature that shows Orion's position in the sky relative to your location. Sensor data from Orion streams to Mission Control in Houston and updates the tracker every minute, giving the public a continuous view of the mission from launch through splashdown.
