NASA Overhauls Artemis Timeline, Sets Two Moon Landings for 2028

NASA is reshaping the Artemis program: Artemis III will conduct in‑orbit technology tests instead of a lunar landing, while Artemis IV will become the first crewed Moon landing in 2028, with two Moon landings that year and a cadence of annual missions thereafter. The plan emphasizes testing life support, propulsion and communications in orbit, potential docking with commercial lunar landers, and upgrades to the Orion/AxEMU suits, with the Lunar Gateway not mentioned in the current briefing. The shake‑up follows delays, a multi‑year mission gap, and a workforce reduction, and aims to speed up missions by standardizing the Space Launch System upper stage.

Canadian astronaut secures moon mission seat with unconventional method.

Canada secured a seat on NASA's upcoming moon mission, Artemis 2, after four years of negotiations by contributing Canadarm3, a robotic arm that will service the planned Gateway moon-orbiting space station. The Canadian seat comes with a mission to send a Canadian and three Americans around the moon no sooner than November 2024. The Canadian government pledged $1.56 billion USD in space spending over 24 years, with much of it for Canadarm3, a business incubator, and food and health tech development contests.
