Nasa Moon Mission 2024 Artemis. Nasa and the canadian space agency (csa) announced the four astronauts who will venture around the moon on artemis ii, the first crewed mission on nasa’s. Nasa's artemis 2 moon mission took some important strides toward launch this year, but it's unclear if the ambitious effort will get off the ground as planned.
Nasa will now target september 2025 for artemis ii, the first crewed artemis mission around the moon, and september 2026 for artemis iii, which is planned to land. Since the moon is a mere 240,000 miles (386,000 km) from earth, it will act as a training ground for the future human exploration of mars.
