NASA delays Artemis 2 to April 2026 and Artemis 3 to mid-2027 due to heat shield issues on the OrionNASA has announced that its Artemis 2 mission, which was scheduled to launch in September 2024, has been put back to April 2026. NASA’s Artemis program is a series of missions aimed at returning humans to the moon and establishing a sustainable presence there.
It wasn't, however, dangerous. According to NASA, data shows the temperature inside Orion remained comfortable during Artemis 1. If there had been a crew onboard, they would have been safe. “The updates to our mission plans are a positive step toward ensuring we can safely accomplish our objectives at the Moon and develop the technologies and capabilities needed for crewed Mars missions,” said Catherine Koerner, associate administrator of Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.Artemis 2 will be a 10-day test flight that will launch in April 2026 on the agency’s Space Launch System rocket.
Planned to be the first of three crewed missions to the moon, Artemis 2 will test Orion’s life support systems with four astronauts aboard. After launching from pad 39B at KSC, Orion will orbit Earth twice before moving into a highly elliptical orbit. About 24 hours later, the crew will experience a brief eclipse of the sun by the moon before going for what rocket scientists call translunar injection—a maneuver that sends a spacecraft on an unstoppable journey to orbit the moon.An uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, successfully placing Orion into lunar orbit and returning it to Earth.
