Nasa's Artemis programme of lunar exploration. 🌑🚀🧑‍🚀 The overarching ambition behind Artemis is to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon. Nasa's Moon Base programme unveiled in May 2026 by the agency's administrator, Jared Isaacman - sets out three phases: Before 2029, robotic landers and hopping drones will survey the south polar region and deliver scientific instruments. From 2029 onwards, repeated crewed missions will expand the site. By the mid-2030s, Nasa envisages "semi-permanent" habitats with astronauts living on the Moon for extended stays.
