NASA announced significant changes to its Artemis moon program on February 27, shifting Artemis III from a lunar landing to an orbital docking and spacesuit test mission, with actual landings now planned for Artemis IV and V in 2028. The restructuring aims to reduce delays and risk by standardizing the Space Launch System rocket and implementing incremental capability building rather than major upgrades between missions.
