A Kansas company, D-J Engineering, was one of several suppliers for the Artemis II program, which successfully launched a mission to the moon for the first time in over a half-century. The launch of Artemis II was delayed multiple times due to multiple delays, but the successful launch was the culmination of years of work by companies across the country. Seven companies in the Wichita area are among the suppliers of the program. The mission will take crew members around the far side of the moon before returning to Earth.
