Artemis I spent about 25 days, 10 hours, and 53 minutes in space. The mission launched November 16, 2022 and returned to Earth December 11, 2022. This duration is consistent with NASA’s official mission timeline and reports. If you’d like, I can pull additional sources or summarize key mission milestones.[1][3]
