NASA revises plans for future Artemis missions, cancels upgrades to SLS


NASA has revised its plans for future Artemis missions. NASA announced Friday it will fly a new mission, designated Artemis 3, to dock with lunar landers from Blue Origin and/or SpaceX in low Earth orbit in 2027. The first crewed landing attempt on the moon is now planned for Artemis 4 in early 2028, with a possible second landing on Artemis 5 in late 2028. As part of those changes, NASA said it is abandoning plans to upgrade the Space Launch System after Artemis 3. —Jeff Foust
