Artemis II Lunar Flyby Visualization for April 1 Launch

This visualization follows the trajectory of the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II flyby of the Moon, showing what astronauts will see out the window as they approach the Moon and fly around its far side. The flyby will last from 2:45 - 9:40 PM EDT on April 6, 2026, and marks the window of time that the Artemis II crew will be close enough to the Moon to make scientific observations and Orion's windows will be pointed toward the Moon.
