TL;DR Summary

NASA’s Artemis II will carry four astronauts around the Moon with comms routed through the Near Space Network and the Deep Space Network under the SCaN program; the mission will test the Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (laser links) to move data faster than radio, while a ~41-minute blackout behind the Moon is managed via data compression and rapid reacquisition by DSN; NASA and partners are also pursuing a Lunar Relay and Navigation System to eliminate blackouts for Artemis III and beyond.
