NASA announced more details about the upcoming Artemis III mission, which unlike Artemis II will take place in low Earth orbit. The announcement included the identities of the crew who will conduct the mission.

Written in the 1860s, Jules Verne’s novels "From the Earth to the Moon" and "All Around the Moon" were highly speculative fiction in their time, but tell a tale that now seems remarkably familiar: three astronauts in a conical capsule on a free-return trajectory around the moon.

The New Glenn explosion hasn’t slowed NASA, which is moving toward its next Artemis mission for Earth-orbit testing to safely return humans to the lunar surface before China. The baton has been passed.

The agency gave a rosy update on Artemis III, a test flight for its goal to return humans to the moon, but experts say the timeline is ambitious.

Relive the smiles, the tears, and the awe-inspiring moments with the Artemis II crew. This is a tribute to the dedicated astronauts paving the way for our return to the Moon.

NASA’s newly announced Artemis III crew is preparing for one of the most complex space missions ever attempted on the road back to the Moon.

Researchers say China’s lunar lander has three backup engines, unlike US design which relies on one main power source.

Planned for 2027, the flight is being presented as a technically demanding test and will also place a European Space Agency astronaut on the crew.
