NASA Artemis II Moon Launch

Star Fleet plans to go out for launch viewing boat trips of the NASA Artemis II mission, the first time humans will travel beyond Earth's orbit since the Apollo program! NASA has officially confirmed the the launch of this historic flight is now scheduled for No Earlier Than Wednesday April 1 6:24 PM EDT (22:24 UTC), with a launch window from April 1-6 and launch times getting roughly an hour later each year. We expect to be at a viewing location just outside the launch hazard area, with a clear view of the pad approximately 10 mi / 16 km away (hazard zone dependent), with a much more favorable angle to the easterly trajectory relative to land-based locations.

In addition to the launch trip, we are offering sunset cruises prior to the launch to see the Space Launch System rocket on LC-39B as it prepares for its historic mission. Join us to see the world's most powerful operational rocket as it stands tall on its launch pad for its very first ever crewed launch!

LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: As of Friday March 13, NASA has confirmed that they are targeting No Earlier Than Wednesday April 1 at 6:24 PM EDT (22:24 UTC) for launch (no joke!), with the rocket's rollout to the pad scheduled for Thursday March 19. We are currently confirming arrangements with our boats for launch and gathering additional confidence about the launch date, and expect to open tickets to the general public immediately following a successful pad rollout two weeks from flight. As always, keep an eye here, on our social media and our WhatsApp community for the latest insider updates and official announcements as we get closer to launch.

We have a Whats App community that we highly recommend you join, with channels for announcements, insider launch updates, discussion, questions and more! We also use it for early tickets, special community events and more! You can also follow our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for announcements and updates. Thanks!

DELAY/SCRUB POLICY: Tickets are generally non-refundable.
Per agreement with our captains, if there is a delay announced prior to the checkin time on the day of launch, your ticket will be valid for the new launch date and time. Should you not be able to make the backup date, you can either transfer your tickets to someone who can, or call or message us at the Star Fleet number, 321-209-2224, to request a refund (at least 24 hours in advance of launch). Should a launch day delay/scrub be officially announced after that or if a passenger does not show up by the published boarding time, the boat will go out as scheduled to see the rocket on the pad, and tickets will be considered used and will no longer be refundable, but you will be offered a minimum 10% (up to 30%) discount on future attempts. Conversely, in case there is an issue with the boat or weather keeping us from departing for the launch, and it occurs as scheduled, we'll issue you a full refund.
