For the first time in more than 50 years, humans are travelling to the moon.

And 13 Minutes, the BBC Space podcast, is following this epic endeavour every step of the way.

We're telling you the story of Artemis II as it happens and chatting with some of the people making it possible.

13 Minutes presents Artemis II from the BBC World Service.

In April, we'll be covering the Artemis II mission.

NASA are sending four astronauts on a 10-day trip around the moon.

From Monday 30th March, the BBC's space podcast 13 Minutes Presents will be the place to go for all the latest news and updates.

Here's space scientist Maggie Adarin-Pocock with more.

The Apollo missions came to an end in 1972.

But now, humans are set to return.

NASA's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts to loop around the moon.

Dean, I gotta get out of your way.

Yep.

Hopefully they'll go further from Earth than any human in history.

And if humans are returning to missions around the moon, well, the BBC Space podcast 13 Minutes... 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9... 13 Minutes is coming back with 13 Minutes Presents Artemis II.

I'm Maggie Adarin-Pocock.

I'm a space scientist specialising in space telescopes and have been obsessed with space since a young age.

And if you haven't yet discovered 13 Minutes, previous seasons have told the story of the first moon landing, the near disaster of Apollo 13 and the space shuttle story.

And now, I'm going to be bringing you a space story in real time, as it happens.

Every day for around two weeks, we'll have the latest news and we'll get to understand the details of the mission.
