The Artemis program is a NASA initiative aimed at returning humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s. Named after the Greek goddess of the Moon, Artemis will involve sending astronauts, including the first woman and the next man, to explore the lunar surface. This program is part of a broader goal to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon and prepare for future missions to Mars.
Through the Artemis program, NASA plans to develop new technologies and systems for deep space exploration. The program includes the Orion spacecraft, which will transport astronauts, and the Space Launch System (SLS), a powerful rocket designed for deep space missions.
