(Artemis) aims to send people
back to the moon for the first time
since the end of NASA’s Apollo
program
in 1972.
(...)
NASA hopes to launch
its first Artemis mission next
year,
but that will be a crewless flight
designed to test
a giant rocket
called the Space Launch System
and the Orion capsule
where the astronauts will
ride.
The first flight with astronauts
is scheduled for 2023.
That flight is to swing past the moon
but not land
— a 21st century equivalent
of the 1968 Apollo 8
flight.
The mission after that, Artemis 3,
is the one that is to land on the moon,
likely somewhere near the South Pole,
which is of interest
because frozen water
in shadowed craters
has been found there.

The full name of
the mission is
the Cislunar
Autonomous Positioning System
Technology Operations
and Navigation
Experiment.
It will act as a
scout for the lunar orbit
where a crewed
space station
will eventually be built
as part of
Artemis.
That outpost,
named Gateway,
will serve as a
way station
where future
crews will sto
before
continuing on
to the lunar surface.
