The Artemis missions are NASA's upcoming magnum opus as the American space agency aims to build a continuous human presence on the lunar surface by the end of the 2020s. Artemis III—the program's third scheduled flight and first crewed Moon landing mission—will use SpaceX's Starship as the lander in 2025-26.
