Yes. I believe Artemis 4 and 5 will land on moon in 2028/9(?). Artemis 3 is supposed to be in 2027 and is just staying in earth orbit to test more systems.
Artemis 2 Launch - Going Back to the Moon
- Thread starter Urbandale2013
- Start date
Correct. Next 2 flights are test flights around the moon. Artemis 4 in late 2028 will land on the moon
Being April’s fool day - could this be the biggest twist of all time?
Watched many of the Apollo launches on NBC with Frank Mcgee as the commentator back in the day. Just know rewatching the NBC Apollo 11 broadcast on Youtube! Great memories! Will definitely be watching today!

NASA Artemis engineers talk teamwork, collaboration during department visit - Engineering News
The Iowa State alumni were asked: What is one skill you developed here as an undergraduate that you use today in your career?

I think once we actually land on the moon in a couple of years we should turn it into a "Death Star". Just mount a giant as@ laser on it like Marvin the Martian.
There are some questions about the heat shield. They've addressed them for Artemis III but didn't have the time or money for Artemis II.
My daughter an I will be watching when she returns home from shcool. This is such a great educational experience and a moment I hope she remembers forever...before AI robots destroy us all.
They get to see the dark side of the moon in full sunlight, so of course they'll see a cool rock
Isnt that why Artemis 2 is using a different reentry trajectory to reduce stress on the heat shield?
NASA has ran a lot of simulations to make sure the heat shield in the new trajectory will be safer.
Safety protocol. The last time we stopped there, the guys got back from their moon walk and their shuttle was up on blocks.
It's a rough neighborhood.
There's more than the heat shield that could go wrong. I have some real concerns about this mission. Starting with this is only the 2nd launch of this system and they've got people on it. Also a chance something doesn't work right on the capsule in LEO and they scrap the transfer to the moon.
IDK maybe I am just so used to the SpaceX "fail fast" style of blowing stuff up, that I am not shifted to the NASA way of test-test-test first.
