Artemis is an American Space program aiming to to land 'The first woman and the next man' on the Moon. Artemis was started in 2017. The target is the south polar region
The program is carried out predominantly by NASA, U.S. commercial spaceflight companies contracted by NASA, and international partners including the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the Italian Space Agency (ASI)[6] the Australian Space Agency (ASA), the UK Space Agency (UKSA) and the United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA).
Contents
Spacecraft
Orion
A spacecraft composed of a Crew module and a Service Module.
Orison is designed to launch using the Space Launch System (SLS)
Lunar Gatewaya
An orbiting space station in Lunar orbit.
Dragon XL
Expendable resupply craft for the Lunar Gateway.
Landers
The Human Landing system (HLS) is the name of the proposed lander for the mission. Five proposals were made for the lander design, while three were chosen for further development:
SpaceX
SpaceX proposes a variant of their Starship design, without the Earth return features and adapted for landing on the moon. The flaps and tiles would be removed. Additional engines would be included high on the fuselage to reduce impingement on the lunar surface of the engine plumes. Simulations have shown that high thrust engines such as required for the Starship might fluidize the Lunar regolith and create dangerous landing conditions. Starship is still under development at this time.
