Artemis's delays stem from its complexity, which arises in turn from the program's history and ambition.
Following a successful uncrewed test flight in late 2022, the agency had planned to launch a crewed lunar flyby mission called Artemis II in November 2024. In a press briefing last Tuesday, NASA officials revealed that because of various hardware issues, the mission is delayed until September 2025. Artemis III, the program's first crewed lunar landing, has slipped as well, pushed back to September 2026.
