Bringing Lunar Exploration Back Into the Limelight
After the victorious launch of the Artemis I mission on November 16, 2022, NASA announced plans for an ongoing Artemis program. Artemis I successfully launched an uncrewed Orion spacecraft around the Moon, and Artemis II will run the same mission with the first crewed flight test. Artemis III aims to conduct the first crewed landing on the Moon.
