Artemis II launch: Nasa’s Orion spacecraft set to blast off for a 10-day journey around the moon – live updates

Unlike the Apollo moon landings from 1969 to 1972, when millions of people had to gather around small TV sets to watch missions unfold in often grainy and ghosting black and white video, every moment of Artemis II will be a fully online, high-resolution multimedia experience.

The Guardian has a live feed at the top of this blog you can follow.

Nasa has countless webpages dedicated to every aspect of the flight from its homepage at nasa.gov, and the space agency has a significant presence on numerous social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram and Twitch.

Additionally, it runs a free, on-demand streaming channel, Nasa+, which will provide live coverage from before launch to after splashdown, including all press briefings. It also has a dedicated app for smart devices.

The Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman maintains a prominent social media presence, and has been posting prolifically ahead of the flight, although it remains to be seen how often he is able to update during the mission itself.

Also worth keeping an eye on is the X account of the new Nasa administrator Jared Isaacman.
