Next Year's Mission To Test Lunar Landers In Earth Orbit
NASA is pressing ahead with plans to launch Artemis III next year, a mission that will test lunar landers in Earth orbit. The mission, set to liftoff from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39B, will include the Orion spacecraft docking with both the Blue Origin Mark 2 and SpaceX Starship lunar landers. This test flight is part of NASA’s efforts to return astronauts to the moon for the first time since the Apollo program. The mission is scheduled to take place sometime in 2027, with the Artemis III crew already beginning their training. This development was reported by Unknown Source.
