At  00:35 CEST on 2 April (18:35 local time on 1 April), NASA's Space Launch System rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on Artemis II. At the heart of the mission is ESA's European Service Module, which powers, propels and sustains the Orion spacecraft and its crew on their journey around the Moon and safely back to Earth.
Over the next 10 days, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, together with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will fly around the Moon and return safely to Earth, the first journey of its kind since Apollo 17 in 1972, over half a century ago. 
Powering Orion on this historic voyage is our second European Service Module, which is responsible for life support for the astronauts, as well as power generation and propulsion. Its four solar arrays, each stretching seven metres, give electricity to the spacecraft, while its systems provide air, water, and a comfortable temperature for the astronauts. Thirty-three engines, including a powerful repurposed Space Shuttle engine, will guide Orion through deep space and perform critical manoeuvres on the lunar journey.

BRUSSEL (ANP) - NAVO-chef Mark Rutte gaat volgende week op bezoek bij de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump, meldt The Wall Street Journal op basis van ingewijden.
Een woordvoerder van de militaire alliantie bevestigde tegenover Reuters dat de Nederlander Washington bezoekt. Volgens de woordvoerder stond het bezoek al lang op de agenda. Verdere details over de ontmoeting werden niet bekendgemaakt.
Trump zei woensdag in The Telegraph dat hij overweegt de Verenigde Staten uit de NAVO terug te trekken. Volgens hem hebben andere NAVO-landen de VS te weinig gesteund in de oorlog tegen Iran.
Trump uitte eerder al twijfels over zijn steun aan het bondgenootschap, maar gebruikte niet eerder zulke stevige bewoordingen.
CAPE CANAVERAL (ANP) - Vier astronauten zijn begonnen aan hun vlucht naar de maan. Het is de eerste keer sinds december 1972 dat mensen richting het hemellichaam vliegen. De draagraket voor de missie Artemis II steeg in de nacht van woensdag op donderdag op vanaf ruimtebasis Cape Canaveral in de Amerikaanse staat Florida.
Aan boord zijn de Amerikanen Reid Wiseman (50), Victor Glover (49) en Christina Koch (47) en de Canadees Jeremy Hansen (50). Na de lancering komen ze eerst in een baan rond de aarde, op ongeveer 2200 kilometer hoogte. Dat is vijf keer zo ver als ruimtestation ISS. Daarna vliegen ze naar een hoogte van 70.000 kilometer, voordat ze beginnen aan de oversteek naar de maan.
Het is de bedoeling dat de vlucht naar de maan ongeveer vier dagen duurt. Na een rondje eromheen beginnen ze aan de terugkeer naar de aarde. Over ongeveer anderhalve week moeten ze hangend aan parachutes in de Grote Oceaan plonzen.
De lancering is in de afgelopen maanden meerdere keren uitgesteld, onder meer vanwege lekkende leidingen en haperende communicatiesystemen.
De Verenigde Staten willen in de komende jaren weer voet op de maan zetten, en ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA wil dat dit gebeurt voor het einde van de termijn van president Donald Trump. De eerstvolgende missie, Artemis III, staat gepland voor volgend jaar. In een baan rond de aarde testen astronauten dan onder meer de maanlander. Begin 2028 is mogelijk de eerste maanlanding van het programma, met de missie Artemis IV.
