The Artemis programme is a series of ongoing space missions run by NASA.

Three Artemis missions are currently in progress; Artemis 1, an uncrewed test flight around and beyond the Moon, which successfully launched on 16 November 2022. Artemis 2, a crewed flight beyond the Moon which will take humans the farthest they’ve ever been in space. And Artemis 3, a mission that will land the first female astronaut and the first astronaut of colour on the Moon to spend a week performing scientific studies on the lunar surface.

Artemis 3 will be the US space agency's first crewed Moon landing mission since Apollo 17 in 1972.

While the Artemis space missions are mainly focused on lunar exploration, NASA's long-term goals are even more enterprising.

Using the technology and research developed during the Artemis spaceflights, NASA intends to launch a future crewed mission to Mars.

This ambitious NASA 'Moon to Mars' plan involves building a new space station in lunar orbit and, eventually, a habitable Moon base.
