NASAs Artemis III Announcement – 16:30

NASA is providing an update on Artemis III, and will introduce the mission’s four crew members. During the test flight, the crew will lift off aboard NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and remain in low Earth orbit where they’ll test our ability to meet and dock the Orion spacecraft with commercial human landers, operations which are needed to land astronauts on the Moon.

Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
