NASA shakes up its Artemis program to speed up lunar return
https://arstechnica.com/staff/2026/02/nasa-shakes-up-its-artemis-program-to-speed-up-lunar-return/
NASA is restructuring the Artemis program to accelerate lunar missions, including converting the Artemis III mission to a 2027 orbital test flight and delaying the first crewed landing to Artemis IV in early 2028. Other changes involve cancelling the SLS Exploration Upper Stage, a high-performance second stage for deep-space missions, in-orbit Artemis III docking tests with commercial lunar landers developed by companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, and SLS standardization to increase launch cadence and reduce technical risks. The Artemis II launch was pushed back to April 2026 after a helium flow failure was discovered during the rocket's second wet dress rehearsal on Feb. 19.
