NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that Artemis 3 is being assembled at an accelerated pace, with a launch complex test planned before year-end. He detailed that Artemis 3, launching in the summer of 2027, will rendezvous with lander test vehicles from Blue Origin and SpaceX, testing interoperability. Furthermore, NASA plans to establish humanity's first outpost on the Moon by 2028, launching missions on a near-monthly cadence to develop capabilities like autonomous mobility and in-situ resource utilization.
“Artemis 3 is already being assembled right now at a pace many doubted was possible just months ago.”
“In the summer of 2027, Artemis 3 will launch on SLS into lower orbit and rendezvous with lander test vehicles from Blue Origin and SpaceX in what will be a remarkable display of the three most powerful rockets and spacecraft in the world.”
“In parallel, we are establishing humanity's first outpost on another world, a moon base, and this time we are leveraging the NASA playbook of decades past.”
“We will launch missions on a near monthly cadence and undertake the science of survival.”
