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.

According to plan, the crewed <a href="/wiki/Artemis_II" title="Artemis II">Artemis II</a> launch is expected to take place in late 2025, the <a href="/wiki/Artemis_III" title="Artemis III">Artemis III</a> crewed lunar landing is scheduled for late 2026, the <a href="/wiki/Artemis_IV" title="Artemis IV">Artemis IV</a> docking with the Lunar Gateway is planned for late 2028, the <a href="/wiki/Artemis_V" title="Artemis V">Artemis V</a> docking with the European Space Agency's <a href="/wiki/European_System_Providing_Refueling,_Infrastructure_and_Telecommunications" title="European System Providing Refueling, Infrastructure and Telecommunications">ESPRIT</a>, Canada's Canadarm3, and NASA's <a href="/wiki/Lunar_Terrain_Vehicle" title="Lunar Terrain Vehicle">Lunar Terrain Vehicle</a> is planned for early 2030, and the Artemis VI docking which is expected to integrate the <a href="/wiki/Crew_and_Science_Airlock_Module" title="Crew and Science Airlock Module">Crew and Science Airlock</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Gateway_space_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Gateway space station">Lunar Gateway station</a> is planned for early 2031.

Additional CLPS missions are planned throughout the Artemis program to deliver payloads to the Moon base.

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.

In contrast to the Starship spacecraft from which it derives, Starship HLS will never re-enter an atmosphere, so it does not have a <a href="/wiki/Heat_shield" title="Heat shield">heat shield</a> or <a href="/wiki/Flight_control_surface" class="mw-redirect" title="Flight control surface">flight control surfaces</a>.

Starship HLS would then boost itself to lunar orbit for rendezvous with Orion. In the mission concept, a NASA Orion spacecraft would carry a NASA crew to the lander, where they would depart and descend to the surface of the Moon. After lunar surface operations, Starship HLS would lift off from the lunar surface acting as a <a href="/wiki/Single-stage-to-orbit" title="Single-stage-to-orbit">single-stage-to-orbit</a> (SSTO) vehicle and return the crew to Orion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Blue_Origin_HLS">Blue Origin HLS</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Artemis_program&amp;action=edit&amp;section=32" title="Edit section: Blue Origin HLS"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Blue_Moon_(spacecraft)" title="Blue Moon (spacecraft)">Blue Moon (spacecraft)</a></div> <p>On 19 May 2023, NASA announced an additional contract to Blue Origin to develop a second crewed lunar lander, which will make its first crewed flight as part of the <a href="/wiki/Artemis_V" title="Artemis V">Artemis V</a> mission.

This rover was built for the <a href="/wiki/Constellation_program" title="Constellation program">Constellation program</a> and was fabricated and then tested.

First, a power and propulsion element will launch in 2022. Then, the crew module will launch (without a crew) in 2023. 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&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.btitle=NASA+Has+a+Full+Plate+of+Lunar+Missions+Before+Astronauts+Can+Return+to+Moon&amp;rft.pub=Space.com&amp;rft.date=2019-05-23&amp;rft.aulast=Weitering&amp;rft.aufirst=Hanneke&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.space.com%2Fnasa-moon-missions-before-2024.html&amp;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">.
