The Artemis program is a human spaceflight program led by NASA to explore the Moon, aiming for its first touchdown on the lunar south pole by 2024. If successful, the Artemis program will perform the first crewed lunar landing mission since Apollo 17 in December 1972, the final crewed expedition of the Apollo program. The program is expected to be a multinational collaborative project between governmental space agencies and private spaceflight companies. |

NASA's huge Artemis 1 rocket is counting down to a planned Aug. 29 launch to the moon. The space agency will host a series of Artemis 1 webcasts this week and next leading up to the uncrewed launch on NASA's first Space Launch System megarocket from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The briefings start on Monday, Aug. 22, and run through launch day and include special guests like actors Chris Evans, Jack Black and Keke Palmer. The last time a rocket this powerful thundered off a KSC pad was back in 1973 when a Saturn V moon rocket carried Skylab into orbit, marking the end of the Apollo era. This momentous uncrewed dress rehearsal around the moon will clear the trail for a crewed moon-bound flight test with 2024's Artemis 2, and an actual lunar landing by 2025 as part of Artemis 3. |
I'm know other countries have plans in place (or are in the middle) for robotic missions but I'm not sure about any other manned missions.
