NASA has announced more delays in sending astronauts back to the moon more than 50 years after Apollo. Administrator Bill Nelson said Thursday that the next mission in the Artemis program is now targeted for April 2026. The lunar fly-around with four astronauts had been planned for fall 2025, after slipping from this year.

NASA’s Artemis program, a follow-up to the Apollo moonshots of the late 1960s and early 1970s, has completed only one mission.Although the launch and lunar laps went well, the capsule returned with an excessively charred and eroded heat shield, damage from the heat of reentry. It took until recently for engineers to pinpoint the cause and come up with a plan.
The commander of the lunar fly-around, astronaut Reid Wiseman, took part in Thursday’s news conference at NASA headquarters in Washington. His crew includes NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
