"NASA is committed to achieving the near‑impossible once again, to return to the Moon before the end of President Trump's term, build a Moon base, establish an enduring presence, and do the other things needed to ensure American leadership in space."
"Isaacman touted 'frequent robotic landings' and a 'nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon' starting as soon as next year."
"NASA is planning to send as many as ten spacecraft to the Moon in 2027 alone. In 2028, the agency is looking to launch four landers, three rovers, and four drones, across a total of 12 rocket launches."
NASA has reaffirmed its commitment to returning astronauts to the Moon and establishing a Moon base. Administrator Jared Isaacman emphasized the goal of achieving this before the end of President Trump's term. The Artemis program has undergone significant changes, with the Artemis 3 mission now focusing on testing Human Landing Systems in low-Earth orbit. Future plans include frequent robotic landings and a busy launch schedule, with up to ten spacecraft planned for 2027 and multiple landers, rovers, and drones set for 2028.
