Now humans will be able to land on the Moon! Humans have always been drawn to explore, discover, and learn about our world, and other worlds around us. For the benefit of all humanity, NASA and its partners will land the first woman and first person of colour on the surface of the Moon with Artemis III. Following two Artemis test missions, Artemis III, currently planned for 2025, will mark humanity's first return to the lunar surface in more than 50 years. NASA will make history by sending the first humans to explore the region near the lunar South Pole.

NASA's Orion spacecraft will be the crew's ride to and from Earth and into and out of lunar orbit. According to the space research organisation, "Orion is the only spacecraft capable of returning crews to Earth at lunar reentry velocities." On the successful Artemis I mission, Orion's heat shield was recently tested under the extreme reentry conditions.

Four astronauts will depart from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop the Space Launch System (SLS), the rocket powerful enough to send Orion, its crew, and their supplies to the Moon in a single launch. The crew will be selected from among the most diverse astronaut corps in history, each equipped with unique skills and intensively trained.

First the crew will launch to Earth orbit where they will perform systems checks and solar panel adjustments on Orion. Then, a powerful push from SLS's interim cryogenic propulsion stage will help Orion perform a translunar injection maneuver, setting its course to the Moon.

For several days, the crew will travel toward the Moon and perform corrective engine burns to intercept the Moon's gravitational field. At the right time and location, Orion will perform a series of
