Artemis III
Planned mission to land the first woman and person of color on the lunar surface.
Lunar Crash
The discarded second stage impacts the lunar surface near Einstein Crater, expected to take place on this date.
Artemis II Launch
First crewed flight of the SLS and Orion on a lunar flyby mission.
Falcon 9 Launch
SpaceX Falcon 9 launches two unmanned landers to the Moon; the second stage is discarded after completing its translunar injection burn and begins drifting.
Artemis I Success
Uncrewed Orion spacecraft completes 25-day mission around the Moon.
The uncontrolled impact of a SpaceX Falcon 9 second stage on the Moon on August 5 underscores the lack of tracking and mitigation frameworks for space debris beyond Earth orbit. As lunar exploration accelerates, unplanned crashes could threaten future orbiters and surface infrastructure.
