Nasa’s Artemis III Moon Mission
NASA has announced the crew for its Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027, which will primarily focus on in-orbit docking with prototype lunar landers rather than landing on the Moon. The mission, launched from Florida using the Space Launch System and Orion capsule, will stay in low Earth orbit to test crewed docking procedures and new spacesuits designed by Prada and Axiom Space. Originally planned as the first lunar landing since 1972, the mission was repurposed due to delays in lunar lander development and in-orbit refuelling technology, with future missions aiming for Moon landings and establishing a long-term presence there.
