NASA's program to return humans to the Moon and establish a sustained presence — the anchor demand-pull for cislunar industry.
Artemis is NASA's human exploration program with the near-term goal of returning crew to the lunar surface (Artemis III), establishing the Lunar Gateway station in cislunar space, and building toward sustained presence. SLS, Orion, Starship HLS, Blue Moon, and a wide commercial ecosystem of suits, science, and surface systems all sit under Artemis.
Artemis is the single largest demand-pull for cislunar industry. Almost every US lunar startup's customer roadmap routes through Artemis, CLPS, or Gateway. International partners (Canada, Japan, ESA, UAE) connect via the Artemis Accords.
While there is some uncertainty regarding timelines and landers, the Artemis III mission — currently… The post Artemis III’s remaining solid rocket booster segments shipped from Utah to Florida appeared first on NASASpaceFlight.com.
Scott Wray’s experience with spacewalks started when he was about 6 years old. A tent resembling a lunar lander provided the perfect imaginary spacecraft. “I would lie on my back with my feet propped up on a pillow as I imagined going through a launch countdown sequence,” he said. “Then I would exit the tent […]
Last week NASA outlined initial plans for developing a lunar base, awarding contracts for rovers and the landers that would deliver them. Jeff Foust reports those plans faced an immediate challenge after the explosion of New Glenn, a rocket that plays a key role in that effort.
Many hailed the success of the Artemis 2 mission as a key technical step in returning humans to the Moon. Alex Li said it also played an important cultural role, something only a space agency can do.
Listen to this audio excerpt from Daniel Stubbs, NASA aerospace engineer: If you’ve driven through a cloud of dust and dirt that temporarily obscured your view, you’ve gotten a partial picture of a potential problem that NASA’s human landing systems for Artemis will face when they land on the Moon.
