@NASA @NASAArtemis 6:25 p.m. ET - The Artemis II countdown has entered terminal count, and the ground launch sequencer has taken control, orchestrating a precise series of automated commands to prepare the rocket and Orion spacecraft for liftoff at a T-0 time of 6:35 p.m. EDT.
@NASAKennedy
2026-04-01
@NASA @NASAArtemis 6:19 p.m. ET - The launch team has made the decision to extend the T-10 minute hold ahead of today’s launch to give engineers time to work through final preparations for liftoff. https://t.co/CEGJngOsEt

@Kenny_J_Miller @NASA @NASAArtemis Engineers investigated a sensor on the launch abort system’s attitude control motor controller battery that showed a higher temperature than would be expected. It is believed to be an instrumentation issue and will not affect today’s launch.

@chedu_chinhu The closest the Artemis II crew will come to the lunar surface will be when Orion flies behind the Moon, ranging from 4,000 to 6,000 miles above the lunar surface.
At this distance, the Moon will appear to the crew to be about the size of a basketball held at arm’s length.
