NASA will preview its Artemis 1 moon mission today. Here's how to watch for free.

NASA is just weeks away from launching its first Artemis flight to the moon this month, and you can learn all about the mission in free seminars this week.

Artemis 1 is an uncrewed deep-space test flight that will launch around the moon in August. You will be able to watch the briefings on NASA's website for free.

TheArtemis 1 is an uncrewed flight test, the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to the moon. NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a stepping stone to send astronauts to Mars.

NASA's Artemis moon landing worked.

NASA needs to support the return of astronauts to the lunar surface, which is why the Artemis 1 test flight is important. On a trip that will circle the moon and return to Earth, a mannequin, cubesats and other experiments will be launched.

NASA will follow the Artemis 1 mission with a crewed flight around the moon in 24 years. The Artemis 3 mission is the one that will land astronauts on the moon, with the lunar landers being built by SpaceX. It's expected after Artemis 2.
