After a launch atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Orion and its crew perform a rendezvous and proximity operations demonstration before travelling to the Moon, doing a flyby, and finally returning to Earth with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen is the first Canadian to ever participate in a lunar mission as part of Artemis II.
