Artemis III, the third mission of the Artemis program, is scheduled to launch four astronauts aboard Orion and the Space Launch System from the Kennedy Space Center. Under NASA's revised Artemis architecture, Artemis III will be a crewed low Earth orbit demonstration mission designed to test rendezvous and docking operations involving commercial human-landing-system hardware and other systems needed for the subsequent lunar landing mission. The first Artemis crewed lunar landing is now planned for Artemis IV in 2028. Expected mid-2027 (May to August) — the date isn't set. Artemis III is an upcoming crewed spaceflight mission of the NASA-led Artemis program. Planned for 2027, the mission is designed as a demonstration flight in low Earth orbit rather than a lunar landing. Four astronauts will launch aboard the Orion spacecraft on the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Wiki link From Wikipedia's 2027 article: Wiki link
