🚀 Enjoy these views of the Artemis II launch from cameras affixed to the rocket! On April 1, 2026, the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket lifted off, sending four astronauts on a test flight around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft. These cameras, developed by engineers at NASA Marshall, are called the Flight Imaging Launch Monitoring Real-time System (FILMRS). They are able to survive some of the harshest environments during launch. Watch the full video here: Also, check out the 360 degree view of launch here:

Curious how #NASAMarshall is supporting the #Artemis II mission? We thought you'd never ask! During this mission, teams inside our LUCA (Lunar Utilization Control Area) are supporting Artemis science operations to better understand the effects that microgravity and radiation could have on astronauts venturing into deep space. Inside its twin control room, the LESA (Lander Engineering Support Area), teams are observing mission operations to inform and prepare them for future crewed landings to the Moon's surface. Learn more about LUCA and LESA here >>
