Artemis III is a planned mission by NASA aimed at returning humans to the lunar surface. Scheduled for 2025, it will mark the first crewed landing on the Moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The mission will focus on the lunar south pole, an area believed to contain water ice, which is crucial for future exploration. The crew for Artemis III will include the first woman and the next man to walk on the Moon. This mission is part of the broader Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface and prepare for future missions to Mars.
