NASA announced on December 5 that its Artemis Moon missions are delayed. The Artemis II crewed test flight is now scheduled for April 2026, pushed back from September 2025, and Artemis III is moved to mid-2027. The delay follows NASA's investigation into an issue with the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, which lost more charred material than expected during the Artemis I uncrewed test flight. NASA shared these updates on its official website, highlighting the need to address this challenge.
