What time is Artemis II launch at Kennedy Space Center? NASA SLS may be seen across most of Florida after liftoff. Did your city make visibility map?

When Artemis II heads to the moon, most of Florida – including some in the Panhandle – will be able to see it flight through the night sky into space. NASA released its Artemis II visibility map, showing who in the state will be able to the launch.

The four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft are heading to the Moon after completing the critical engine burn that propels the capsule on its journey.

Robert (Hoot) Gibson, a five-time NASA space shuttle astronaut, says falling asleep the night before a scheduled launch can be 'challenging,' but watching a family member's launch can be even more nerve-wracking.

Artemis II is scheduled to launch from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, sending four astronauts on a 10-day mission into deep space, around the moon, and back to Earth.
