Artemis program

(Redirected from Artemis 3)

The Artemis program is an international human space-flight program.[1] The goal is to return humans to the Moon by the year 2025.[2][3][4] It will involve the first woman and thirteenth man to land on the moon. It is led by the United States and planned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It will be the first lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972, which was the final lunar mission of the Apollo program. The Artemis program began in December 2017. It was created by bringing together many programs that had been started since 2009 by the United States as it tries to return to the moon. As a result of Artemis, the United States hopes that there will always be humans on the moon. One day the program might take humans to Mars and other places in the Solar System.[5] As well as NASA, the Artemis program work is done by companies and other international organisations like European Space Agency.
