The Museum of Flight, Seattle, WA, is planning a public viewing event on April 1 to mark NASA’s Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight toward the Moon since the end of the Apollo era more than five decades ago. The event is set to begin at 1:30 p.m., with live NASA coverage of the launch shown on a large screen inside the museum’s theater. The current launch window is scheduled for later that day, between 3:34 p.m. and 6:24 p.m.
According to the museum, the gathering is one of four locations included in NASA’s official livestream coverage. Local members of the space community are expected to speak during the event, and space experts will be available to answer questions. The first 50 attendees will receive an Artemis II mission sticker.
The program is open to all ages and free to attend, though advance registration is requested. Because the launch timing could change, the museum has outlined alternate plans. If the April 1 attempt is delayed, another launch could take place as early as the following evening. Additional viewing events are scheduled to begin April 2 at 2:30 p.m., with further opportunities running through April 6. If a launch attempt takes place during normal museum hours, visitors will still need a valid membership or general admission ticket to access exhibits and galleries. Click HERE to register!
