[change | change source]The goal is to return humans to the Moon by the year 2025.[4][5][6] It will involve the first woman and thirteenth man to land on the moon. It is led by the United States and planned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It will be the first lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972, which was the final lunar mission of the Apollo program.

One day the program might take humans to Mars and other places in the Solar System.[7] As well as NASA, the Artemis program work is done by companies and other international organisations like European Space Agency.
