"And so we are planning for Artemis II to launch in April of 26 and we’re going to do all in our power with our commercial partners to launch earlier. After learning from the Artemis II crewed test flight, then we’re going to make adjustments that are necessary and we plan to launch Artemis III. The first landing on the moon in over a half century. Assuming the Space X lander is ready, we plan to launch Artemus III in mid 2027."

"But sometimes in space, delays are agonizing and slowing down is agonizing. And it’s not what we like to do. But from the crew perspective, the thing that we most asked our leadership for after Artemis I was root cause of the ablation of the heat shield."

STORYLINE:
NASA announced more delays Thursday in sending astronauts back to the moon more than 50 years after Apollo.
Administrator Bill Nelson said the next mission in the Artemis program — sending four astronauts around the moon and back – is now targeted for April 2026. It had been on the books for fall 2025, after slipping from this year.
That bumps the third Artemis mission _ a moon landing by two other astronauts _ to at least 2027. NASA had been aiming for 2026.
NASA’s Artemis program, a follow-up to the Apollo moonshots of the late 1960s and early 1970s, has completed only one mission. An empty Orion capsule circled the moon in 2022 after blasting off on NASA’s new Space Launch System rocket.
Although the launch and lunar laps went well, the capsule returned with an excessively charred and eroded bottom heat shield, damage from the heat of reentry. It took until recently for engineers to pinpoint the cause and come up with a plan.
