August 2025 marks a significant milestone in the realm of space exploration. It is the target date for the launch of the highly anticipated Artemis I mission, a crucial step in NASA’s ambitious plan to return humans to the Moon by 2024.
The Artemis I mission will be an uncrewed flight test of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. The SLS is the most powerful rocket ever built, and Orion is the spacecraft that will carry astronauts to the Moon. The mission will also test the Gateway, a small space station that will serve as a staging point for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
