NASA has announced further delays to its Artemis missions, with Artemis II now projected for April 2026 and Artemis III pushed to mid-2027, continuing a trend of postponements.
The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts to orbit the Moon, marking a significant milestone as the first crewed mission aboard NASA's Space Launch System rocket.
Despite the successful uncrewed Artemis I mission, investigations revealed issues with the Orion capsule's heat shield, necessitating further analysis and adjustments before the subsequent missions.
NASA's ongoing adjustments to the Orion capsule's heat shield and trajectory aim to ensure crew safety during the Artemis II mission, maintaining comfort within the spacecraft under challenging conditions.
