Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

If we actually landed on the Moon back in the ‘60s, Artemis III wouldn’t need three launches, two dockings, and years of practice just to get back there. I mean, come on NASA —? you supposedly nailed it with slide rules and tinfoil last time. Now it’s rocket science? (Yeah, I know we never did it… I just can’t prove it yet)

@NASAArtemis This is a really exciting mission. And very complex. I'm excited to watch NASA take the next steps towards landing on the moon.

Artemis III harkens back to the Gemini & pre-Apollo 11 missions, small steps & giant leaps that made the “one giant leap” possible.

It's interesting that Apollo didn't need to do this. I guess that's the difference between pretending to go to the moon and going for real.

You want people interested in space and to want to go to space but retardedly gatekeep the entire process and then you beg us for taxpayers funding? Then you expect us to get excited over this when it's not for the public in any way? Fuck you.

They’re all men??? oh and by the way, we have landed on the moon before.

The lunar landing will draw the attention, but orbital docking is one of the capabilities that makes long-term exploration possible. Mission success increasingly depends on mastering complex operations, not just reaching the destination.

Four astronauts practicing to return humanity to the Moon. And somewhere on Earth right now a final year student is practicing to defend their first original idea in front of a panel of academics. Different scales. Same human instinct. We prepare. We practice. We show up and defend what we built. That is the thread connecting the astronaut to the student. Both are being asked to prove they can think under pressure.

Artemis iii is still just docking practice in earth orbit by 2027. the first landing slipped from 2024 to 2028 plus with orion and sls hardware years behind schedule.

Lunar Citizen3 months ago

For Artemis III, the most exciting part might actually be the orbital refueling demonstration, especially if they don’t end up going to the Moon!

Rusty Osbourne3 months ago

Dude this should have happened three decades ago. And artimus looks highly outdated. These seems like something Elon musk should be in charge of.

Stop being a mediocre. Achieve the highest feat. Land on the moon again not on orbits, not flybys. We're tired of being on the surface. Let humans start building on the moon. Stop wasting hard earned money, stop looking for cheap fame, stop basking on part glory

.NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman Jared Isaacman reveals the plans for Artemis III, Artemis IV and the moon base: “Artemis III in 2027 is going to be very Apollo 9-esque, where we will rendezvous the spacecraft Orion with the landers, but we‘re going to do it in Earth orbit... In 2028, you’re going to have Artemis IV, which will actually land NASA astronauts on the moon. In parallel, we’re building the moon base. Starting in early 2027, you are going to see robotic uncrewed landings on a nearly monthly cadence... building the base so when the astronauts arrive, they have a lot of equipment to work with.”

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says the primary objective of the Artemis II’s trip around the moon is “to gather data from the ECLSS system, the life support system on the Orion spacecraft,” which will be used in future missions. “Learning as much as we can about Orion is critically important because Artemis III is a year away,” he says. “That's where we're going to test the same spacecraft with our lunar landers. Followed up in 2028 by Artemis IV, where we're going to use this spacecraft, transfer crew to the landers, and put American astronauts back on the surface of the moon.”

BREAKING: NASA has launched four astronauts on a mission to circle the Moon, marking the first human journey back to deep space in 54 years, and the farthest distance from Earth humans will have ever traveled to date. The four astronauts on this Artemis II mission will travel 600,000 miles around the moon. During their 10-day trip, they’ll test life support systems in the Orion capsule for future crewed missions to the moon’s surface. A moon landing would occur during Artemis III, which is currently targeted to launch sometime in 2027.

NASA astronauts are returning to the Moon. President Donald J. Trump took the most meaningful step forward in space since the Kennedy administration by establishing Artemis. In his second term, he signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, giving NASA the resources to execute, and now Artemis II is on the launchpad. In the days ahead, the brave crew of Artemis II will launch potentially farther into space than humans have ever gone before, nearly 250,000 miles away from Earth. Artemis III will follow in 2027, testing one or both commercial landers in low Earth orbit, followed by Artemis IV, which will put American boots back on the lunar surface - not for flags and footprints, but to stay, to build the Moon Base.

And in parallel, we’re building the Moon Base and establishing an enduring American presence. With the direction and resources from President Donald J. Trump, America is going back to stay.

🇺🇸Artemis II launched yesterday, sending four astronauts on the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years. The crew has already spent a full day in space and completed early milestones, including manually piloting the Orion spacecraft. Today they will perform the critical trans-lunar injection burn that will send them on their path toward the Moon. The roughly 10 day journey includes a close flyby of the lunar surface before using the Moon’s gravity to slingshot them back to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. Source: NASA

Artemis IV in 2028 will begin the first phase of the NASA Moon Base and establish our path to stay. We are building with purpose, moving with urgency, and keeping our promise to President Donald J. Trump. This is how the next chapter begins at NASA.
