"Orion Spacecraft: The Future of Artemis Missions to the Moon"

Three crew-carrying Orion spacecraft for the Artemis 2, Artemis 3, and Artemis 4 moon missions are being prepared at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft, built by Lockheed Martin, are expected to transport astronauts to the moon starting in late 2024. Artemis 2 is scheduled for November 2024 with a crew of four astronauts, while the crews for Artemis 3 and 4 are yet to be announced. Lockheed Martin is under contract to deliver the Orion spacecraft for future Artemis missions, with production efficiencies leading to cost savings.
