NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announces major Artemis overhaul 🚀
• SLS rockets standardized to near Block 1 configuration
• Launch cadence accelerated from every 3 years to every 10 months
• Artemis III pulled forward to 2027; will rendezvous with lunar lander providers in low Earth orbit
• Up to two crewed lunar landing missions planned for 2028
• Focus on rebuilding ground systems workforce and operational muscle memory
“We need less needless complexity, less distraction, more launches, more operational muscle memory, and extreme focus on the mission"
"We gladly accept the challenge of returning NASA astronauts to the moon after more than a half century — and this time, to build a moon base to stay" 🇺🇸
