Endymion 2025 is a proposed human spaceflight mission to send a crew of four astronauts to orbit the moon and return to Earth. The mission is planned to launch in 2025 and would be the first crewed mission to the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
The Endymion 2025 mission is part of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon by 2024 and establish a sustainable presence there by 2028. The mission is named after Endymion, a shepherd in Greek mythology who was beloved by the moon goddess Artemis.
