NASA is pushing to fly as early as Feb. 6 next year on the first crewed mission of the Orion spacecraft for a 10-day flight around the moon.

The first Artemis mission lasted 25 days and saw the launch of an uncrewed spacecraft in November 2022. It saw a spacecraft travel around the Moon and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.

Dr. Eric Christian shares the importance of the IMAP mission and how it will play a part in the Artemis moon missions.
