\n

Artemis II is nearing its end, but NASA’s moon missions are only just beginning. Here’s what next, including that highly-anticipated lunar landing.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Four astronauts are preparing for a perilous return<\/a> through Earth’s atmosphere to make a splashdown near California<\/a> and put the finishing touches on a moon-circling mission<\/a> that will etch their names in history.<\/p>\n\n

NASA’s Artemis II mission has for more than a week captivated the public<\/a>, with people around the world watching in awe as its intrepid crew dared to venture farther from Earth than ever before<\/a>. Along the way, the\u00a0crew under the command of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman saw sights of the moon’s far side that no human had ever laid eyes upon.<\/p>\n

Three of those astronauts<\/a> \u2013 NASA’s Christina Koch and Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency \u2013 even made a little spaceflight<\/a> history of their own. Koch became the first woman, Glover the first Black man and Hansen the first Canadian to ever venture within the vicinity of the moon.<\/p>\n

Now, the crew of Artemis II are on the cusp of making a victorious homecoming<\/a>, returning to Earth aboard their Orion spacecraft in a fiery, treacherous final leg that will end with a water landing in the Pacific Ocean. When all is said and done, they will have put about 695,081 miles on Orion’s odometer since launching April 1 from the Kennedy Space Center<\/a> in Florida, according to NASA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

But the impending end of Artemis II hardly signifies the end of NASA’s overall Artemis program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s everything to know about what’s next<\/a> for NASA’s first lunar campaign since the Apollo era as the agency works toward a historic moon landing<\/a> \u2013 and eventual human expeditions to Mars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uncrewed lunar landers could head to moon in 2026<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

NASA and its commercial partners have\u00a0landed three robotic vehicles on the moon<\/a>\u00a0since 2024 \u2013 all to varying degrees of success.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For 2026,\u00a0at least four more uncrewed lunar landing missions<\/a>\u00a0are in the works.<\/p>\n

None of the missions have a firm target launch date yet, but the first \u2013 Pittsburgh-based aerospace company Astrobotic’s\u00a0Griffin-1 mission<\/a> \u2013 appears to be on track for liftoff sometime in July, according to NASA<\/a>. Three more landers could follow this year, including Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark-1, Texas-based Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost and Houston-based Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C.<\/p>\n

In 2027, NASA plans to dramatically increase the number of robotic landers carrying cargo and science instruments with up to 30 more uncrewed landings.<\/p>\n\n

The missions, contracted under NASA’s\u00a0Commercial Lunar Payload Services<\/a>\u00a0program, would all help pave the way for a human landing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NASA targets 2027 for Artemis III test mission<\/h2>\n

As for NASA’s next mission under the Artemis program, that is slated to get off the ground sometime in 2027.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, preparations for Artemis III are underway before the Artemis II mission is even back on the ground, with NASA preparing to roll out<\/a> and transport to Florida a new core stage for the gigantic 322-foot Space Launch System rocket<\/a> that would help launch the mission.<\/p>\n

The Artemis III mission will send a new crew of astronauts on the Orion spacecraft to Earth orbit. There, they will dock with at least one of the\u00a0commercial lunar landers<\/a>\u00a0being developed by\u00a0Elon Musk<\/a>‘s SpaceX and\u00a0Jeff Bezos’\u00a0Blue Origin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

NASA will also use the mission to test space suits, known as extravehicular activity suits,\u00a0being developed by Axiom Space<\/a>\u00a0for astronauts on the lunar surface.<\/p>\n

SpaceX, the commercial spaceflight company founded by billionaire Musk, was originally awarded the contract to develop a lunar lander for the first Artemis mission to send astronauts to the surface. Under that original plan, SpaceX has been working on a\u00a0configuration of its Starship vehicle<\/a>, known as the Human Landing System, for human lunar missions.<\/p>\n

But amid concerns that Starship’s development has lagged,\u00a0NASA now also appears to be considering<\/a>\u00a0Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander<\/p>\n

Moon landing planned for 2028<\/h2>\n

In 2028, humans could be stepping foot back on the moon<\/a> for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.<\/p>\n\n

Whichever lander ends up being selected for\u00a0Artemis IV<\/a>\u00a0would rendezvous with NASA astronauts aboard an Orion vehicle in lunar orbit and then ferry them to the surface. After the astronauts conduct a moon walk and a series of\u00a0scientific experiments<\/a>, the lander would then transport them back up to Orion, which would make the journey back to Earth, according to\u00a0NASA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

NASA previously identified\u00a0nine possible landing sites<\/a>\u00a0near the moon’s largely unexplored south pole for human surface operations.<\/p>\n

All the possible locations are further south than any of the Apollo astronauts landed<\/a> or ventured, according to\u00a0NASA<\/a>. There, a permanent shadow is thought to shroud an area abundant with water ice \u2013 a valuable resource that could\u00a0be extracted and used for drinking<\/a>, breathing and as a source of hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is NASA’s planned moon base?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

But this time, those next astronauts who step foot on the moon’s surface won’t simply plant the stars and stripes before heading back to Earth.<\/p>\n\n

The ultimate goal is for NASA to spend the next few years using a series of both crewed and uncrewed lunar landings to\u00a0build a $20 billion moon base<\/a>\u00a0where astronauts could live and work long term.<\/p>\n

After the Artemis V mission,\u00a0NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman<\/a>\u00a0has said the agency wants to target a human lunar landing up to twice a year \u2013 if not more often.<\/p>\n

When could astronauts go to Mars?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Once that cadence is established and the infrastructure for a sustainable settlement is in place, NASA will set its sights on humanity’s next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars, possibly in the 2030s.<\/p>\n

The moon is not only a pristine time capsule ripe for study \u2013 preserved almost unaltered throughout the course of billions of years \u2013 but is also considered a stepping stone for human exploration deeper into the cosmos.<\/p>\n\n

NASA leaders recently announced\u00a0a new Mars mission targeted for by the end of 2028<\/a>\u00a0that would be the first to use a fission nuclear-powered spacecraft. The venture could be a pivotal test of a technology that could also be a power source for surface operations, a vital capability on Mars where dust storms are known to block the sun for weeks at a time.<\/p>\n

After reaching Mars in 2030, the three helicopters the spacecraft would deploy would\u00a0follow in the footsteps of the retired Ingenuity aircraft<\/a>\u00a0by surveying for potential human landing sites and using radar to identify sources of underground water.<\/p>\n
