The excellently (
) acronymed AROW (Artemis Real-time Orbit Website) is now live. It doesn’t work very well, if at all, on mobile devices.

Artemis II has a crew. Meet the humans who will head beyond the Moon and pave the way for future deep space and lunar surface missions.
“For the first time in more than 50 years, these individuals – the Artemis II crew – will be the first humans to fly to the vicinity of the Moon. Among the crew are the first woman, first person of color, and first Canadian on a lunar mission, and all four astronauts will represent the best of humanity as they explore for the benefit of all,” said Director Vanessa Wyche, NASA Johnson. “This mission paves the way for the expansion of human deep space exploration and presents new opportunities for scientific discoveries, commercial, industry and academic partnerships and the Artemis Generation.”

Loads of info, I’m not so kwai like Greg to extract it all into a post so I’ll go the lazy route, currently tracking the 17th of April for launch. I honestly think it will “accidentally” slip to the 20th.

The fullstack Starship is coming in at a combined height of 120 meters.(I feel like a ring announcer)
The launch tower stands at 146 meters and it reaches almost to the top(thanks to the Orbital Launch Mount)
Edit: Quick google, Saturn V was 110 meters, SLS is 98 meters, Falcon 9/Heavy is 70 meters.

Space nerds really love their acronyms. The European Space Agency is about to get Juicy! The JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) project will launch tomorrow from French Guiana.
Jupiter, king of the solar system, will be getting a new robotic visitor, although the departure from Earth will occur a day later.
The scheduled launch on Thursday of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or Juice, was called off because of lightning in the vicinity of the launch site at the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America. The next launch attempt is Friday.
Juice, from the European Space Agency or ESA, aims to closely study three of Jupiter’s satellites: Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.
Juice is now scheduled to head to space on an Ariane 5 rocket on April 14 at 8:14 a.m. Eastern time. That’s 14:14 locally tomorrow. Livestreaming of the launch will start 30 minutes earlier.
