List of Artemis missions

Short description: List of missions in the Orion and Artemis deep space exploration programs by the United States

Emblem of the Artemis program

The Artemis program is a human spaceflight program by the United States . The Artemis program is intended to reestablish a human presence on the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972; mid-term objectives include establishing an international expedition team, and a sustainable human presence on the Moon. Long-term objectives for Artemis are laying the foundations for the extraction of lunar resources, and eventually making crewed missions to Mars and beyond feasible.

To date, missions in the program are aimed at exploration of the Moon, including crewed and robotic exploration of the lunar surface. Three flights of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle are currently planned for launch in the Artemis program in the early 2020s, beginning with Artemis 1. Before Artemis was named, the flights were referred to as "Orion missions". Numerous supporting scientific and technology demonstration missions are planned for launch under the program's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS), in addition to planned and proposed uncrewed logistical missions to construct and resupply the Gateway and its expendable and reusable lunar landers in lunar orbit.

## Support missions

### Technology demonstrations

Launched on 28 June 2022,[15] the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment ("CAPSTONE") mission is a small (25 kg) technology-demonstration spacecraft designed to test a low-energy trans-lunar trajectories and to demonstrate the near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) intended to support lunar polar missions.[16]

### Surface missions

Peregrine (left) and Nova-C (right) will be the first two robotic landers to directly support the Artemis program.

The Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program will support the Artemis program by landing several small payloads focused on scouting for lunar resources, in situ resource utilization (ISRU) experiments and lunar science, in preparation for an extended human presence on the lunar surface.[17][18][19]

### Logistics missions

Artist's impression of the Power and Propulsion Element, the first module of the Lunar Gateway, in lunar orbit. It will generate 50 kW (67 hp) of solar electric power for its ion thrusters, life support, and other systems.

Uncrewed missions to assemble and resupply the Gateway will be executed as part of the Artemis program.[36]
