Encyclopedic overview
Artemis III is an upcoming spaceflight mission, planned to be the second crewed mission in NASA's Artemis lunar exploration program, with a targeted launch in late 2027. The crew will launch aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft.
The mission will rendezvous in Earth orbit with vehicles such as SpaceX's Starship HLS and Blue Origin's Blue Moon commercially developed Human Landing Systems (HLS). These will be launched separately by their commercial providers, with the mission testing rendezvous and docking operations and may also include evaluation of the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) space suit. It is broadly comparable to Apollo 9 in the Apollo program.
