Artemis III is NASA's next crewed mission in the Artemis program, following Artemis II, which has already flown around the Moon. This time the goal is a test rather than a landing. The plan is a flight of roughly two weeks in Earth orbit, during which the crew will practice meeting and docking with commercial lunar landers. Orion, the capsule that will carry four astronauts, sits atop the Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket. The launch day is not yet fixed. NASA's current planning window is no earlier than June 2027, so the date on this page, 1 June 2027 at 00:00 UTC, is an estimate used as a placeholder and should not be read as an official schedule. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has said the launch could come as early as June 2027, a timeline that remains tentative. Liftoff is planned from Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and the local time will only be known once the day is set. Work is moving forward. Engineers have joined the core stage of the SLS rocket to its two side boosters inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. The stack is next expected to roll out to pad 39B for fueling tests and a countdown rehearsal. Four crew members have been named: Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas from NASA, and Luca Parmitano from the European Space Agency, who is listed as the pilot. Artemis III is a risk-reduction flight meant to prepare for Artemis IV, which is planned as the first crewed Moon landing of the program and is currently targeted for 2028. Practicing rendezvous and docking with landers in orbit is intended to lower risk before astronauts attempt a landing on the lunar surface. Many people follow each milestone because it marks another step toward returning people to the Moon. To follow the mission, check NASA's Artemis III news page and the mission website at nasa.gov/mission/artemis-iii, where official updates are published. Local Space Coast news outlets also report on rollout, testing and schedule changes. Because the date is still tentative, treat any new day or time as provisional until NASA confirms it.
