First Major Delay
NASA pushes Artemis II from late 2024 to September 2025 citing safety concerns.
Artemis I Success
Uncrewed Orion spacecraft completes 25-day mission around the Moon.
Victor Glover, the only pilot to fly Orion around the Moon, is moving to NASA's emeritus program and a Cal Poly leadership role. His exit, alongside Reid Wiseman and Jeremy Hansen, leaves Christina Koch as the sole full-time Artemis II astronaut. The move has major implications for NASA's astronaut talent pool and the aerospace workforce pipeline.
Two of the four astronauts who flew Artemis II around the Moon in April 2026 are leaving active status, cutting the mission's active crew to one. NASA will keep Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover as emeritus mentors, while Christina Koch remains the only active crew member. For Artemis III planners, this shifts near-term crew selection and experience retention.
NASA has officially confirmed an April 1, 2026, launch target for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the lunar vicinity since the Apollo era. This 10-day mission will carry four astronauts on a high-stakes flyby to test life-support systems and deep-space navigation capabilities.
NASA has officially postponed the Artemis II crewed lunar flyby mission, the first human-crewed flight of the Space Launch System (SLS), due to newly identified repair requirements on the rocket. This latest setback pushes the mission's timeline further into the late 2020s, complicating the broader goal of returning humans to the lunar surface.
NASA has officially rescheduled the Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, to March 6, 2026. This mission will carry four astronauts on a high-stakes lunar flyby, marking the first human journey to the Moon's vicinity in over half a century.
