With the Artemis campaign, NASA intends to return humans to the Moon and build a sustainable lunar presence as a foundation for human exploration of Mars. The Artemis II crewed test flight aims to return humans to lunar orbit for the first time in more than 50 years and send its four crew members farther into space than any human has ever gone.
