NASA's Artemis Program: Returning Humans to the Moon

Join us as we explore NASA's upcoming Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time since Apollo! Artemis seeks to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon starting with landing the first woman and next man by 2025.
We explain the key goals of Artemis, like conducting lunar science, testing Mars mission technologies, utilizing lunar resources, and building infrastructure for long-term exploration. NASA plans to use new deep space transportation systems like the SLS rocket, Orion capsule, Lunar Gateway station, and commercial landers to enable ambitious crewed missions.
The current timeline involves an uncrewed test flight of SLS/Orion in 2022, followed by a crewed test flight in 2024 before attempting the first Artemis lunar landing as early as 2025. Additional missions will establish a permanent base camp.
Artemis signifies an exciting new chapter in lunar exploration and NASA's preparation for eventual human journeys to Mars. This video will get you up to speed on how NASA intends to move forward with sustainable human spaceflight beyond Earth orbit!
