NASA plans to launch more lunar missions after the success of Artemis II, signaling a renewed era for lunar exploration and science — and raising questions about what comes next. A National Academies study currently underway will identify key non-polar landing sites for future crewed lunar missions and what science goals could be achieved.

The Trump administration released a memo detailing plans for a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030 to advance U.S. space exploration and defense.

As NASA prepares for its Artemis II mission, a Central Florida man who helped make the first moon landing possible is reflecting on decades of progress in space exploration.

For NASA educators, the Artemis II mission offers an opportunity to teach children about space exploration.

NASA’s Artemis II mission successfully took astronauts farther from Earth than any human had ever gone, setting the stage for future — and more challenging — lunar voyages.

The Artemis II journey around the far side of the moon is a monumental moment for human space exploration, but the mission could also bring back benefits for everyday life here on Earth. Better selfies,

How did NASA’s Space Launch System rocket perform? Nearly perfectly. Was the Orion spacecraft up to the job of flying to the Moon and back? Absolutely. Will engineers need to make any changes before the next Artemis mission?

Although led by NASA, Artemis II wasn’t just a US achievement; the mission was a collaborative effort. Long may such cooperation continue.

The astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II mission flew farther from Earth than anyone in history and laid the first human eyes on much of the moon’s far side. Their Orion spacecraft made its flyby this past week with the most diverse crew to get an unprecedented look at the lunar side that always faces away from Earth.
