NASA adds extra crewed test flight before 2028 moon landing attempt
NASA is reshaping its Artemis timeline, adding an additional crewed test flight next year before attempting a moon landing in 2028. The agency is still working through issues with the rocket’s helium pressurization system but says the new schedule creates a more stable, realistic path. Artemis II is set to launch in the coming weeks, with Artemis III targeted for mid‑2027, setting up two possible moon‑landing windows in 2028.
