Artemis III is currently scheduled to launch in June 2027. This mission will last approximately two weeks and involve three total launches!
The first launch will be conducted by New Glenn, which will carry the MK2-IL lander into LEO, where it can remain for up to 90 days if needed.
The second launch will be by SLS, which will carry Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas aboard the Orion capsule. Orion will meet up with the MK2, remain docked for two days, and the crew will test the lander's systems.
Next, a modified Starship will launch with a docking port attached to the nose and will rendezvous with Orion for a one-day docking. During this, they will test accelerating Orion with Starship.
Once all tasks are complete, the crew will return home and splash down in the Pacific.
