TL;DR Summary

NASA’s Artemis 3 core stage is standing vertical inside the Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building, awaiting engine and upper-stage integration for a late‑2027 launch. The mission will stay in Earth orbit to test Orion and one or both lunar landers (Starship and/or Blue Moon) with crewed lunar touchdowns potentially coming on Artemis 4 in 2028 if the landers are ready.
