NASA’s Artemis programme is set to redefine human space exploration, marking the return of astronauts to the Moon after more than 50 years and introducing a new generation of space travellers to the lunar surface. The ambitious missions aim to move beyond brief landings and establish a lasting human presence on the Moon, laying the foundation for future crewed missions to Mars.
For the first time in history, the Artemis missions will take the first woman and the first person of colour to the Moon, reflecting a more inclusive and forward-looking vision of space exploration. Equipped with next-generation technology such as the Space Launch System (SLS), the Orion spacecraft, and the planned Lunar Gateway, astronauts will explore the Moon’s south pole, conduct vital scientific experiments, and test technologies essential for deep-space travel. The Artemis programme signals humanity’s renewed push into the cosmos and promises to inspire generations to dream bigger and reach farther.
