Smithsonian Channel™ is set to premiere a new documentary, Project Artemis - Back To The Moon, on Sunday, September 4 at 10/9c. This one-hour documentary special offers an inside look at NASA’s new Artemis program and its mission to return astronauts to the moon for the first time in 50 years. 

Watch as NASA astronauts train for the next moon landing, where the first woman and the first person of color will set foot on the lunar surface. 18 men and women are finalists, though only two will be chosen for the moon mission in 2025. Then, discover the technology, training, and dangers involved as NASA prepares for its next giant leap: sending the first crew to Mars. Project Artemis - Back To The Moon shows how a series of complex missions will pave the way for future missions while also reigniting America’s passion for discovery. This special joins the Smithsonian Channel’s roster of space programming like Black In Space, Earth From Outer Space and more.
