led by the United States' <a href="/wiki/National_Aeronautics_and_Space_Administration" class="mw-redirect" title="National Aeronautics and Space Administration">National Aeronautics and Space Administration</a> (NASA), formally established in 2017 via <a href="/wiki/Space_Policy_Directive_1" class="mw-redirect" title="Space Policy Directive 1">Space Policy Directive 1</a>. It is intended to reestablish a human presence on the Moon for the first time since the <a href="/wiki/Apollo_17" title="Apollo 17">Apollo 17</a> mission in 1972. The program's stated long-term goal is to establish a <a href="/wiki/Moonbase" title="Moonbase">permanent base on the Moon</a> to facilitate <a href="/wiki/Human_mission_to_Mars" title="Human mission to Mars">human missions to Mars</a>. </p><p>Two principal elements of the Artemis program are derived from the now-cancelled <a href="/wiki/Constellation_program" title="Constellation program">Constellation program</a>: the <a href="/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)" title="Orion (spacecraft)">Orion spacecraft</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Space_Launch_System" title="Space Launch System">Space Launch System</a> (SLS) (as a reincarnation of <a href="/wiki/Ares_V" title="Ares V">Ares V</a>). Other elements of the program, such as the <a href="/wiki/Lunar_Gateway" title="Lunar Gateway">Lunar Gateway space station</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Human_Landing_System" title="Human Landing System">Human Landing System</a>, are in development by <a href="/wiki/List_of_government_space_agencies" title="List of government space agencies">government space agencies</a> and <a href="/wiki/Private_spaceflight" title="Private spaceflight">private spaceflight</a> companies, collaborations bound by the <a href="/wiki/Artemis_Accords" title="Artemis Accords">Artemis Accords</a> and governmental contracts. </p><p>The Space Launch System, Orion spacecraft and the Human Landing System form the main <a href="/wiki/Spaceflight" title="Spaceflight">spaceflight</a> infrastructure for Artemis, and the Lunar Gateway plays a supporting role in human habitation. Supporting infrastructures for Artemis include the <a href="#Commercial_Lunar_Payload_Services">Commercial Lunar Payload Services</a>, <a href="/wiki/Exploration_Ground_Systems" title="Exploration Ground Systems">development of ground infrastructures</a>, <a href="/wiki/Artemis_Base_Camp" class="mw-redirect" title="Artemis Base Camp">Artemis Base Camp</a> on the Moon, Moon rovers, and spacesuits.

Additional CLPS missions are planned throughout the Artemis program to deliver payloads to the Moon base. These include habitat modules and rovers in support of crewed missions. </p><p>A Human Landing System (HLS) is a spacecraft that can convey crew members from NRHO to the lunar surface, support them on the surface, and return them to NRHO. Each crewed landing needs one HLS, although some or all of the spacecraft may be reusable. Each HLS must be launched from Earth and delivered to NRHO in one or more launches. The initial commercial contract was awarded to SpaceX for two Starship HLS missions, one uncrewed and one crewed as part of Artemis III. These two missions each require one HLS launch and multiple fueling launches, all on <a href="/wiki/SpaceX_Starship" title="SpaceX Starship">SpaceX Starship</a> launchers. NASA later exercised an option under the initial contract to commission an upgraded Starship HLS for Artemis IV and a separate contract to <a href="/wiki/Blue_Origin" title="Blue Origin">Blue Origin</a> to develop a third crewed lunar lander, which will make its first crewed flight as part of the Artemis V mission. </p><p>The first two Gateway modules (PPE and HALO) will be delivered to NRHO in a single launch using a <a href="/wiki/Falcon_Heavy" title="Falcon Heavy">Falcon Heavy</a> launcher.

NASA had developed multiple pressurized rovers including what was formerly called the <a href="/wiki/Space_Exploration_Vehicle" title="Space Exploration Vehicle">Space Exploration Vehicle</a> (SEV). This rover was built for the <a href="/wiki/Constellation_program" title="Constellation program">Constellation program</a> and was fabricated and then tested. In the 2020 flight manifest it was later referred to as the "Mobile Habitat" suggesting it could fill a similar role to the <a href="/wiki/International_Lunar_Resources_Exploration_Concept" title="International Lunar Resources Exploration Concept">ILREC Lunar Bus</a>. It would be ready for the crew to use on the surface but could also be autonomously controlled from the Gateway or other locations. </p><p>Mark Kirasich, who is the acting director of NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems, has stated that the current plan is to partner with <a href="/wiki/JAXA" title="JAXA">JAXA</a> and <a href="/wiki/Toyota" title="Toyota">Toyota</a> to develop a closed cabin rover to support crews for up to 14 days (currently known as <a href="/wiki/Lunar_Cruiser" title="Lunar Cruiser">Lunar Cruiser</a>). "It's very important to our leadership at the moment to involve JAXA in a major surface element", he said. "... The Japanese, and their auto industry, have a very strong interest in rover-type things. So, there was an idea to—even though we have done a lot of work—to let the Japanese lead development of a pressurized rover. So right now, that's the direction we're heading in". </p><p>In regard to the PR, senior-lunar-scientist Clive Neal said "Under Constellation, NASA had a sophisticated rover put together. It's pretty sad if it's never going to get to the Moon". However Neal also said that he understands the different mission objectives between the Constellation Program and those of the Artemis Program, and the need of the Artemis Program to focus more on international collaboration.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_220-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-220"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>215<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-230" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-230"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>225<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-231" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-231"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>226<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-232" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-232"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>227<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-233" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-233"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>228<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 9 April 2024, it was announced that JAXA and NASA had signed an agreement stipulating that Japan would join the pressurized rover collaboration venture and would design, develop, and operate a rover for crewed and uncrewed exploration of the Moon. In return, NASA will provide the launch and delivery of the rover to the Moon, as well as providing seats for two Japanese astronaut missions to the lunar surface, with the goal of these astronauts being the first non-Americans to travel to the Moon's surface. The pressurized rover is planned to accommodate two astronauts for up to 30 days outside.

In 2024, during the months leading up to the crewed landing, NASA will launch the last critical components: a transfer vehicle that will ferry landers from the Gateway to a lower lunar orbit, a descent module that will bring the astronauts to the lunar surface, and an ascent module that will bring them back up to the transfer vehicle, which will then return them to the Gateway.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=NASA+Has+a+Full+Plate+of+Lunar+Missions+Before+Astronauts+Can+Return+to+Moon&rft.pub=Space.com&rft.date=2019-05-23&rft.aulast=Weitering&rft.aufirst=Hanneke&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.space.com%2Fnasa-moon-missions-before-2024.html&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AArtemis+program" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-156"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-156">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFSmith2021" class="citation web cs1">Smith, Marcia (26 May 2021). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/nelson-watch-the-chinese/">"Nelson: "Watch the Chinese"<span class="cs1-kern-right"></span>"</a>. <i>SpacePolicyOnline.com</i>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210526042546/https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/nelson-watch-the-chinese/">Archived</a> from the original on 26 May 2021<span class="reference-accessdate">.
