NASA just revealed some new details about its upcoming Artemis 3 astronaut mission to Earth orbit, which is targeted to launch in late 2027.
"While this is a mission to Earth orbit, it is an important stepping stone to successfully landing on the moon with Artemis 4," Jeremy Parsons, Moon to Mars acting assistant deputy administrator at NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate in Washington, D.
The 2027 flight will test docking operations between the Orion capsule and one or two private moon landers.
